Pettit outlines plan to shield farm loan stockholders
D C Pettit, secretary treasurer of the Washington County National Farm Loan association, reports a Omaha meeting launched a reorganization affecting 40 000 farmers in the eighth federal land bank district. The plan rehabilitates defunct associations, repays former stockholders who retired loans, and costs 5100 to repay stock in Washington Jefferson and Van Buren counties. It creates a reserve to guarantee nonrepaid loans and hinges on 90 percent approval of loan associations. It does not alter the local Washington association beyond stock-impairment protection.
