The Farmers' Savings Bank releases an eight per cent dividend on trust certificates issued during the moratorium. Mr. Erickson states the total payments reach eighty per cent. Many certificate holders believed they were signing away this money. Iowa bankers widely report gradual payments and expect full settlement eventually. The bank’s management earns praise for the progress.
