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. FOR SALE ? Flowers and Tomato Plants.
