Dorn, Ipc., lumber manufacturers of McCormick, have acquired title to 2,500 acres of tim bered land known as the Rosenberg and Visanska lands, some of which is located in Abbeville, some in Greenwood and some in McCor mick Counties and in what is known as the Long Cane section of these counties. These lands are included in the territory which the National Forest Reserve Commis sion recently approved the pur chase of for a forestry project. The price paid for these lands was $25,- 000 which is above the price pub lished in the papers to be paid for such lands by the government. The lands include several hun dred acres 'bf the Henry Laurens estate, James L. Pressly estate and others. While several tracts Adjoin one to the other, there were sixteen different titles to be abstracted, many of which titles were to Rosenberg and Visanska and are more than forty years old and the land has not changed hands since that time. Another unusual feature about this, deal is that the survey recently made shows a total acre age of less than two acres from the total acreage covered by the title^ to Rosenberg and Visanska, al though several tracts of the land were not surveyed forty years ago when purchased by them. Contract for the purchase of these lands was entered into last fall with April 1st fixed as the time for closing the deal. Foster M. Sanders Dies At Poinsettia Park, Fla. Foster M.

Morrah, secretary-treas urer of the Citizens National Farm Loan Association, has received word from Wm. I. Myers, governor of the Farm Credit Administration, Washington, D. C., that Federal Land Bank loans and Land Bank Commissioner’s loans will be made in the future through the Federal Land Bank in bonds of the Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation, which bonds are guaranteed by the United States government both as to principal and interest, which will be at the rate of 3 1-4 per cent per annum for the bonds to be issued at this time. These bonds will take the place of the cash distribution in the disbursement of the un closed loans previously approved by the Federal Land Banks. The bonds of the Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation, according to the statement by Governor My ers, will have behind them not only the unconditional guarantee of the federal government as to both principal and interest, and the capital of the Federal Farm Mort gage Corporation amounting to $200,000,000, but also the consoli dated bonds of the Federal Land Banks issued in exchange for the bonds of the Federal Farm Mort gage Corporation and thte mort gages accepted by the Land Bank Commissioner as security for loans. Governor Myers assured Secre tary Morrah that the Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation bonds will be an attractive investment. “They will be as readily marketable as bonds of the United States Govern ment and they will be quoted in all of the principal markets,” he continued. “Holders who have to dispose of these bonds should not sell them without first ascertain ing their real market value.” The governor particularly stressed the fact that country bankers probably will be large in vestors in these securities since the creditors of farmers who are being refinanced may not all be in tiie position where they can hold the bonds ' so - acquired and will find it necessary to sell them. Sec retary Morrah states that these bonds, which will be tendered to farmers’ creditors in payment of the • refinanced indebtedness, are “exempt from all federal, state, municipal and local taxation, ex cept surtaxes and estate, inherit ance and gift taxes. They are law-, ful security for fifteen-day borrow ings by member banks of the Fed eral Reserve system. They are also lawful investments for all trust, public and fiduciary funds of which the deposit or investment is under the authority or control of the gov ernment. The payments of the in terest on these bonds and the re payment of their- principal are guaranteed by the United States, which means that if the Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation should ever be unable to meet the pay ments on the bonds, the Treasury will assume such payments. “These bonds will be issued in denominations of $100, $500 and $1,000. However, amounts less than $100 will be disbursed in cash. For example, a loan of $965 would be made in a $500 bond, four $100 bonds and the rest in cash. In ad dition, to provide for certain debts such as taxes which cannot be paid in bonds, cash covering the re quired amounts will be provided. “Loans, which have been applied for and approved, but on which the cash has not been paid out, as well as those approved by the bank in the future, will be financed on the above basis. This arrangement in no way disturbs or alters the other provisions of the loans. The inter est rate on new loans will continue to be 4 1-2 per cent for the emer gency period when made through a national farm loan association and 5 per cent when made directly by the bank.” x ANNOUNCE BIRTH OF A SON Number 42 Cotton Ginnings By S.
