THE FARMER'S OPPORTUNITY. I Description of the method of bor-. rowing money on farms on the gov'eminent plan through the First Jcint Stock Land Bank of Fort Wayne, Ind. ■ I I I The idea is to loan money on farms for longer periods than in the exiting I practice now, as authorized under the 1 Federal Farm Loan Act, effective July, 1916. This law makes it possible for the' ■ farmers to make money by borrow-' ing money. It is the intention to place money within the reach of the jfarmer on such terms as to convert' the farm mortgage into a source of profit. The money may be loaned you to buy land for agricultural purposes, to purchase equipment, such as teams, machinery, live stock, to provide beneficial improvements, structure, tiling. drainage, fencing, buildings, etc. The money is loaned on the “amortization plan” which means the paying off of the indebtednes by installments of a fixed amount, throughout a period of years. As an example—On a loan of SI,OOO payment would be S7O a year, which; payment applies upon interest and i principal, paying off loan in 33 years. Upon a Ten Thousand Dollar loan, the payment each year would be $700.' Borrower may pay off part or all of . loan after five years. Loans made up to one-half of the, value of the land and 20 per cent of. the insurable value of the improvei . ment. NO COMMISSION—LOANS MADE TO BORROWER AT COST. No restrictions are placed on the use of the money you borrow and your affairs are . not subject to the scrutiny of others. ' You are not'worried about a renew- • al. not the trouble and expense of one You have no uncertainty about interest rates. You have liberal prepay-, ment privileges after five years. You do not tie up yourself or your land. I Eevery payment you make reduces - your principle as well as the interest, i so that at the expiration of the loan i the entire debt has been discharged. | ■ Such an opportunity as this should ■ give courage to an enterprising farrn- . er to buy more land, to improve his farm and live stock and have the use and profits therefrom.
