APPLICATIONS FOR FARM
LOANS DOWN 16% IN 1952
The twenty-third annual report of
the Canadian Farm Loan Board for
the year ended March 31, 1952, has
just been issued. The board is a Dom-
i nion Government agency engaged in
making long term mortgage loans to
farmers,
Applications for loans dropped 16%
during the year but the total amount
approved for loans, $4,238,400 was
only 10% less than in the previous
year. At March 31, 1952 the board held
16,497 first mortgage loans for a total
amount of $28,365,986.23. The board
also held 2815 second mortgage loan
accounts totalling $1,246,452.15. The
principal assets under administration
comprising loan accounts, sale agree-
ments and real estate increased by
$1,405,819 to a total of $29,864,551, the
largest amount since 1944, The board
being self-sustaining pays its own
costs of operation which increased
31/2 % during the year to $443,845.
Board officials state that the mod-
erate decline in volume of new busi-
ness experienced in the last two years
will likely be reversed during the cur-
rent year as a result of the amend-
ment to the Canadian Farm Loan Act,
passed in June 1952, increasing the
maximum loans from $6000 to $12,000.
The current interest rate on first
mortgage is 5%.
