The Secretary of Agriculture says
in his report, just issued, that "the
farmers of the I'nited States hold 72
out of each 100 farms, occupied by
their owners, absolutely free from
mortgages or other incumbrances."
He also states that out of each 1,000
farms only 2K2 are mortgaged, and
that three-fourths of the money rep-
resented by the mortgages upon the
2K2 farms was for the purpose of
purchasing those farms or for money
borrowed to improve the same.
