that next month a total of WooW
will be reached with ths probability of
attaining U.ftos.M by the turn ot the

ths farm bank loan la Indicated by the
growth In the number ot farm loan
associations. There are bow 111 such
associations In Tsxsa
Each association before Its charter
la granted muat .Include 10 farmers
with an aggregate loan demand-of
$20004. A short time sgo the out

totaled 41t014l the high point of

So rapid has been ths growth of ths
Houston bank that It was found neces
