The session will Ih? held in vthc federal building at Colum Ida. The members of the Federal Farm Loan Hoard who will conduct this hearing are Hon. W illiam (}. McAdoo, Secretary of the Treasury, (1 cor go \V. Nonis, Farm l<oan Coiomlssloner, Her bert Qlllck, Captain W. S. A. Sndth. and Charles. E. Lohdcll. The Hoa,rd has Issued an invitation to all farmers and farm organizations of South Carolina to attend this hear ing to got Information about the op eration of the Farm I^oan Act, and to furnish the Hoard with Information about the farm loan needs of the r.tate. h has also asked Interested cities to present their claims for the location of one of the twelve Federal Ijaud Hanks. Farmers will Ik> asked to give Infor mation regarding the prevailing rates of Interest on first mortgage loans; the difficulty of getting extensions; the rate of commissions charged; the de velojnuent of farms as affected by cre dit ; farm tenantry as affected by the ability of tenants to borrow; and any other fact that will give the Hoard an understanding of the farm needs of the state. The new Federal Farm Loan Act provides a way for the farmer or pros IMH'tive farmer to borrow money on long time Mortgages at actual cost. The government provides the machin ery for assembling capital to be loan ed to farm owners or prospective farm owners. The loans may run up to 50 per cent of the value of the land used as security and 20 j>er cent of. the value of the improvements. The loans will be made at a low rate of Interest not .vet determined, but will be less than 0 per cent. Provision Is made for the borrower to pay off the debt, interest, and principal through jjerlods of from five to forty years, at his own option. The legislation Is expected to prove a great boon to those sections of the country where farm development lias been retarded because of high Interest rates, and It Is predicted that It will tend to make agricultural prosperity permanent and uniform, stabilize and equalize interest rates, and greatly im prove the condition of the farmer. The nation-wide interest In the pro visions of the bill is indicated by the fact that more than 100,000 inquiries have come to the Treasury Department for Information nhnnt it, Sooreta ry McAdoo predicts that the banks will be established and ready to make loans early In 1017.
