How the Farm Mortgage Bill Works
President Roosevelt signs the emergency farm mortgage bill to ease the arm mortgage situation. It reduces interest rates on federal Land Bank loans, waives principal payments temporarily, extends Land Bank programs, offers exchange bonds, refines farmer debt, curtails foreclosures, finances irrigation and levee districts, and aids joint stock land banks in orderly liquidation. The American Farm Bureau Federation's persistence is credited for the act's progress.
