t THE FARMERS OPPORTUNITY. ”1 Description of the method of borrowing money on farms on the government plan through the First Joint ‘ Htoek lADd Bank of Fort Wayne. I Ind. I The idea Is to loan money on farms K for longer periods than is the exiting ' practice now, as authorized under the Federal Farm Ixian Act, effective I July, 1916. ' This law makes it possible for the farmers to make money hy borrowing money. It is the Intention tn 1 place money within the reach of the 1 fanner on such terms as to convert i the farm mortgage into a source of profit. 1 The money may be loaned you to buy land for agricultural purposes, to purchase equipment, such ns teams, ■ machinery, live stock, to provide beneficial improvements, structure, tiling. drainage, fencing, buildings, etc. The money is loaned on the “amort- ■ Ization plan” which means the paying ' off of the Indehtedees by install- : meats of a fixed amount, throughout a period of years , I As an exampl-’—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 he S7OO. 1 Borrower may pay off patt or all of loan after five years. | Loans made up to one-half of the i value of the land and 20 per cent of 1 the Insurable value of the Improvement. INO 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 interest rates. You have liberal prepay- . ment privileges after five years. You ■ do not tie up yourself or your land. Eevery payment you make reduces i your principle as well as the interest, ’ so that at. the expiration of the loan the entire debt has been discharged. I Such an opportunity as this should [ give courage to an enterprising farmer to buy more land, to Improve his farm and live sto'k and have the use ~ and profits therefrom.
