ments, or assessments which may be lawfully as-
sessed against the land mortgaged. Taxes, liens,

installments sufficient to cover the interest payable
on the mortgage, and in addition thereto such
amounts to be applied upon the principal as will
extinguish the debt within an agreed period of not
more than forty years from the date of the reamor-
tization; to deposit such mortgages with the farm
loan registrar as collateral security for farm loan
bonds at an amount not exceeding the principal of
the original loan remaining unpaid at the date of
such amortization; and with the approval of the
Farm Credit Administration to charge the bor-
rower an amount not to exceed the actual cost
incurred in connection with such reamortization.

tional payments accepted on account of his indebt-
edness under such loan and not yet credited thereon

shall become due and payable at once, and the pay-
ments so accepted shall forthwith be credited upon

ances of conditional payments remaining uncredited

have been accepted has been paid in full shall be
refunded to the borrower by the land bank. (July
