    The Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to make a loan or loans 
for any purpose authorized by and in accordance with the terms of the 
Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act, as amended, or the Act of August 28, 
1937, as amended, to any person eligible for assistance under said Acts 
who has made or makes a homestead or desertland entry on public land or 
who has contracted for or contracts for the purchase of other land of 
the United States in a reclamation project pursuant to the applicable 
provisions of the homestead and reclamation laws. Any such loans 
required by the Secretary of Agriculture or by law to be secured by a 
real-estate mortgage may be secured by a mortgage contract which shall 
create a lien against the land in favor of the United States acting 
through the Secretary of Agriculture and any patent thereafter issued 
shall recite the existence of such lien. The first installment for the 
repayment of any such loan or any other loan made under the Bankhead-
Jones Farm Tenant Act, as amended, or the Act of August 28, 1937, as 
amended, to the owner of a newly irrigated farm in a reclamation project 
or to an entryman under the desertland laws, may be deferred for a 
period of not to exceed two years from the date of the first advance 
under such loan.
