Under the plan a land bank borrower may now send funds to the bank to be held in a trust ac count for future installments, and this account will be credited with compound interest at the same rate which the member-borrower is paying on his land bank loan. “The Federal land bank and the national farm loan association feel that this ‘future payment’ fund offers a number of advantages to the borrowers,” said Mr. Duckett. “The borrower who has future payment funds in the land bank has a backlog of security upon which he can draw in time of need to keep his obligation in good standing and carry him through a lean period. He is in sured against hard times—at no cost to him for the insurance. “This new plan permits a land bank borrower to make payments for future application on Federal land bank loan, sale contract or purchase money mortgage running to the land bank in any amount less than the unpaid balance of his obligation.” Mr. Duckett said that many farmers were now in a position to fortify themselves against future mortgage worries and in taking advantage of the future payment fund plan would be helping them selves and also would be serving their country because while the investment is earning a good rate of interest, this money would at the same time be doing service for national defense through rein vestment by the land bank. -xx Sullivan News The Sullivan H.
