"Future Payment" Plan
Adopted By Association
I A plan whereby farmers having
Federal land bank loans may pro
tect themselves against.any post
war slump or crop failures by mak
ing payments into a "future pay

same rate of interest he ia being
charged on his indebtedness to the
bank, is announced by George L.
Crater, Secretary-Treasurer of the
' Stokes county National Farm Loan
Association.
Under the plan a land bank bor

future installments, and this
will be credited with com

paying on his land bank loan.

national farm loan association feel
that this 'future payment' fund
.offers a m.ub r of advantages to
i p« borrowds," slid Mr. Crater.
