farm CREDIT ADMINISTRATION
Columbia, April 26 ? Julian H.
Scarborough, president of the Fed
eral Land Bank of Columbia and gen
eral agent of the Farm Credit Ad
ministration of Columbia, announced
today that effective April 10, the
the interest rate on new loans made
through national farm loan associa
tions having been reduced to four
and one quarter per cent and on
loans made directly by the bank to
four and three quarter per cent.
This is tflve second interest reduct
ion made by the bank recently, the
interest rato on new loans through
national farm loan associations hav
ing been reduced from five to four
and one half per cent on April 7, Mr.
Scarborough pointed out. The inter
est rato of four and one quarter per
cent is the lowest, he said at which
Federal land banks have ever made
loans during the 18 years of iWstory.
'The saving', said Mr. Scarbor
ough 'which land banks have been
able to effect on new loans is being
passed on to fanner borrowers. This
is one of the great benefits of a co
operative land banking system'.
From the time the Emergency
Fann Morgage Act of 1033 was pas
sed up to April 1, 1935, the Feder
al land banks made loans through
national farm loan associations at
five per cent, with a temporary re
duction to four and one half per cent
until July 12, 1938. After tihat .date
loans made during the two year per
iod will bear interest at the rate of
five per cent. New loans, however,
made at four and a quarter per cent
will bear that rate during the en
tire life of the loan. Loans made dir
ectly to borrowers by the land banks
carry an interest rate one half of one
per cent higher than thoso made
through national farm loan associa
tions.
The interest rate on Land Rank
Commissioner loans Which are made
on either first or second morgage
security will remain at five per cent
per annum.
