Pacific Northwest farmers and ranchers used higher 1944 net income to erase 13.7 million dollars in mortgage indebtedness to the Federal Land Bank of Spokane.

About 3,500 borrowers built over 2.3 million in surplus funds to meet future maturities, and the bank’s government capital has fallen to 3.5 million with plans to wipe it out by May 15, 1945, placing ownership with stockholders, plus a 10 percent dividend recently paid.
