Mr. and Mrs. Herschel Fife left
Mt. Carmel last Saturday to make
their home in Atlanta again.
Many friends here regretted very
much to see them leave. Mr. Fife

Loan Association.
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.
