i THE FARMt H'S QPPURTUNI I Y I Description of the method of borrowing money on farms on the gov-. ernmeut plan through the First J< iut Stock Laud Bank of Fort W tyuo, lud. 1 ; I The Idea Is to loan money on farms for longer periods 'han is the exh ling practice now. as authorized under the Federal Farm ixian Act, effective July, 1916. This law makes it possible for the I farmers to make money by borrow ' Ing money. It is the Intention to place money within the reach of the farmer on such tertns as to convert' the farm mortgage Into a nource of profit.

> j The money may be loaned you to buy land for agricultural purposes, to purchase equipment, such as teams, machinery, live stock, to provide ben- . eflcinl improvements, structure, tiling. drainage, fencing, buildings, etc. The money Is loaned on the "amortization plan" which means the paying j off of the Indebtedness by installments of a fixed amount, throughout* a period of years. I As an example—On a loan of SI,OOO .payment would be S7O a year, which 'payment applies upon interest and principal, paying off loan in 33 years. Upon a Ton Thousand Dollar loan, the payment each year would be S7OO. 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 improvement. 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 renewal. not the trouble and expense of one You have no uncertainty about inI terest rates. You have liberal prepayment privileges after five years. You do not tie up yourself or your land. Eevery payment you make reduces your principle as well as the interest, so that at the expiration of the loan the entire debt has been discharged. Such an opportunity as this should give courage to an enterprising fann-
