MORTGAGE DEBT
SHOWS DECLINE
Farm Liens Are Lowest in
Twenty Years
The farm mortgage debt stands
at approximately 57000 000000 It Is
reported by the bureau of agricul-
tural economics This Is the small-
est figure In 20 years and compares
with the high record of nearly
11000000000 In the early 1020s
Officials sold the debt has been
reduced markedly during the cur-
rent decade from 9031000000 in
J03O to 7071000 000 in 1939 but is
till much higher than In the years
Immediately preceding the World
war a quarter century ago Much
of the reduction during the early
1930s was the result of foreclosures
and distress transfers In recent
years principal repayments have
been of Increasing Importance
The way In which the debt In-
creased and declined In the last
three decades and the conditions af-
fecting these movements ore dis-
cussed by Donald C Horton In a
recent Issue of the bureaus publica-
tion The Agricultural Situation
The peak In farm mortgage debt
during the lost 30 years was in 1922
23 about 172 per cent above the
191014 level The debt has declined
In each subsequent year except 1927
The debt increased in all major
Koographic divisions of the country
from 1910 to 1920 and there was a
further rise In all areas for some-
time during the early 1920s For
all geographic decreases liquidation
or n much retarded rote of growth
followed the Increases of the early
1920s and varying amounts of debt
liquidation resulted from the post
1929 depression in all areas
Marked regional differences In
debt trends occurred In the lato
1920s and early 1930s The contin-
ued downward trend for the west
north central states for example
stood in sharp contrast with the con-
tinued upward trend for the Pacific
states during this period In the
west south central states debt con-
tinued to increase from 1923 to 1930
whereas in the south Atlantic and
east Eouth central states the up-
ward movement after 1025 continued
only to the middle of this fiveyear
period
In four geographic divisions New
England Middle Atlantic Mountain
end Pacific farm mortgage debt
rose for a time after 1930 fn all
of these regions mortgage debt had
either risen or changed little during
the latter part of the 1920s
During 1032 and 1933 the decline
was general for all areas but In
the following two years there were
again widely divergent regional
movements There was a continued
rise in New England during the
years 1930 1937 and 1938 Changes
were small during this period In the
middle Atlantic cast south central
and Pacific states
There was a considerable de-
crease however In the west north
central states The largest decrease
for any state In 1038 was 94 per-
cent for North Dakota the largest
Increase was 3 per cent for Massa-
