dlfterenee between the contract
rate and the temporary rate thus
effects a substantial saving tor
farmers.
' In a statement from Washing-
- ton, A. G. Black, Governor of the
Phrm Credit AdminUtration, said
that the saving to fanners
through the reduced interest rate
will have the same effect as an
addition to the farmers' net in
come.
“The ultimate puriose of the
reduced interest rate on land

£ h^p farmers keep down their
ed Charges and thus leave more
tncopid for the retirement of debt

Governor Black said.
“Money saved on interest
charges will thus be reflected in
Increased purchasing porwer, ben-
efitting both Industry and agri
culture, and also will help in a
-measure to raise farm living
standards and safeguard farm
ownership.’’
