National Farm Loan Association Announces Rate Interest Rate on Loans to Continue to Be 3Vjj Fer Cent During the Coming Year. Farmers holding Federal Land bank loans through the Alvo Nation al Farm Loan association of Alvo, Nebraska will continue to pay 35a per cent interest during the coming year, according to Carl D. Ganz, sec retary-treasurer of the farm mort gage association. Mr. Ganz has just been notified that congress has amended the farm credit laws to extend the low rate to July 1, 1937. Under the previous law the 3 rate would have expired June 30 this year. The amendment was approved June 25. Extension of the 3 rate means a material saving to the 293 farmers belonging to the Alvo association. the secretary-treasurer said. He esti mated the saving to borrowers at $9,000.00, as compared to what they would pay at the regular contract rates of their loans. The associa tion's books show $1,801,100.00 out standing in Federal Land bank loans. The 3 rate applies only to Fed eral Land bank loans. There is no change in the 5 per cent on land bank "commissioner" loans, a3 fixed n the original farm credit act of 1933. In notifying Mr. Ganz of the con tinued low rate, Charles McCumsey, president of the Omaha land bank. said that under the new law borrow ers on July 1, 1937, will resume pay- ng Interest at the rates at which thJir loans were originally written. The temporary interest reduction provided by congress does not change the contract rate of any land bank loans, it was pointed out. Farmers who obtain new loans at the present contract rate of 4 per cent will get the benefit of the 3 per cent in terest during the year ending July 1, 1937. After that date, new bor rowers, like all other borrowers, will pay the rate at which their loans were written.
