Higher interest rates asked for farmers loans
The federal farm loan board announced an increase in interest rates to farmers from 5 to 51 2 per cent. A new agreement may be concluded soon under which former loan bonds bearing 41 2 per cent interest will be sold by the Federal land banks at a premium below the 11 8 per cent new charge. Most sales will be made by the banks themselves rather than by agents who have disposed of nearly three fourths of the $23,000,000 bonds issued under the farm loan act. The agreement with bond dealers expired December 1 and has not been renewed. The board cites the large sale of liberty bonds and certificates of indebtedness as a reason for the change.
