"This refunding loan we believe serves the purpose of keeping the worthy and deserving farmer and his land together." Duffield said that even in cases where foreclosure is considered unavoidable his company is prepared to consider an offer of purchase from the former owner on a crop payment plan of sale, involving no cash payment, if, in the meantime the farmer has been able to gather together stock, feed, tools and seed to make a new start. Renewing Loans He reported that his company has abandoned "the technical attitude of creditor to debtor" and is renewing farm loans "without regard to the conventional margin of security and without the requirement of burdensome amortization payments." Personal attention is given to each case of distress in connection with Iowa farm loans by employes informed of the desire to avoid unnecessary foreclosures, Duffield said.

"In other words, we feel that ou. farm loan policy is designed to aid the distressed borrower who is willing to help himself.

It gave extra compensation to every sen-ice man at the rate of a dollar for each day of home service and a dollar and a quarter for each day of overseas service. It limited the base amount to $500 for home service and $625 for overseas service. The money was to accumulate as an insurance fund for 20 years, the government putting aside $112,000,000 a year to meet the total, which would" be due in 20 years. The maximum amount due any one man would at that time be in the neighborhood of $1,600. It was possible for veterans to borrow up to 22'2 per cent cf the full amount.
