Excerpt from Timber Loan Clients of the New Orleans Federal Land Bank: Characteristics, Attitudes, and Knowledge of Credit With the two previous studies as references, an analysis was initiated in late 1968 of a sample of the current timber loan clients of the New Orleans Federal Land Bank (fifth Farm Credit District). The New Orleans bank lends on collateral in three states-louisiana, Ala bama, and Mississippi. The New Orleans Federal Land Bank was chosen for study because the three States it serves are essentially a homogeneous timber producing province. The bank's first timber loan was made in 1944. It now has the second largest timber loan portfolio of the 10 land banks that extend forest credit. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
