Such sub

scriptions shall be subject to call, in whole or in part, by the bank with the approval of the Commissioner upon thirty days' notice. To enable the Secretary of the Treasury to make such subscriptions to the paid-in surplus of the Federal land banks, there is hereby authorized to be appropriated the sum of $50,000,000, to be immediately available and remain available until expended. Upon payment to any Federal land bank of the amount of any such subscription, such bank shall execute and deliver a receipt therefor to the Secretary of the Treasury in form to be prescribed by the Land Bank Commissioner. The amount of any subscriptions to the paid-in surplus of any such bank may be repaid in whole or in part at any time in the discretion of the bank and with the approval of the Land Bank Commissioner, and the Commissioner may at any time require such subscriptions to be repaid in whole or in part if in his opinion the bank has resources available therefor.

Such postponed payment shall be made by paying at the time each succeeding annual installment is due, one-tenth of the amount of the postponed payment, and, in the case of semiannual installments, by paying at the time each succeeding semiannual installment is due, one-twentieth of the postponed payment, until the amount of such postponed payment has been paid. In any case in which the number of remaining installments due on the mortgage is less than ten, in the case of annual installments, or less than twenty, in the case of semiannual installments, the amount of the postponed payment shall be distributed proportionately over the remaining number of installment payments.

Twelfth. Interest rate; on extended payments; on taxes, liens, etc., paid by mortgagee.-For the period of five years after Mar 4, 1933, every borrower shall pay simple interest on ex

Eighteenth. Accepting conditional payments for subsequent credit on indebtedness.-To accept conditional payments from borrowers for subsequent credit upon their indebtedness to the land banks; and to allow interest on such payments. All conditional payments so accepted shall be subject to such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of this paragraph and with any rules or regulations prescribed for its efficient execution by the Farm Credit Administration, as may be agreed upon at the time of their acceptance. If a conditional payment is accepted for subsequent credit upon a first mortgage which is at the time or is thereafter pledged as collateral security for an issue of farm-loan bonds, all requirements, conditions, and limitations set forth in sections 897-899 of this title

shall apply to such payment the same as though it were a present payment on the principal of the mortgage pledged as collateral security, and the land bank shall forthwith notify the farm loan registrar of its receipt of such payment and account to him therefor. Every conditional payment accepted by a land bank for subsequent credit upon indebtedness of a borrower shall be credited upon such indebtedness as the borrower may from time to time direct in accordance with the terms and conditions upon which the payment has been accepted, and at the option of the bank may in any event be credited upon such indebtedness as and when it matures if it is not otherwise paid by the borrower at or before maturity. If at any time after five years from the date on which a borrower's loan was made, the aggregate of the borrower's conditional payments accepted on account of his indebtedness under such loan and not yet credited thereon equals or exceeds his total indebtedness under the loan, all unmatured indebtedness under such loan shall become due and payable at once, and the payment so accepted shall forthwith be credited upon the borrower's indebtedness under the loan so far as may be necessary to pay it in full. Any balances of conditional payments remaining uncredited when the indebtedness on account of which they have been accepted has been paid in full shall be refunded to the borrower by the land bank.
