Only Third Os U. S. Ferms Are Mortgaged WASHINGTON (INS) —Agriculture department finance experts estimate than only about a third of the farms in the U. S. are saddled! with mortgages at the present time. 1 Ford Retail Sales Lead Other Makes . Ford car retail sales to customers in 1954 exceeded those of any other make by 25,267 units, according to net automobile registration figures made available today by R. L. Polk A Co. R. S. McNamara, vice president — Ford Motor company, and Ford division general manager, said the net 1954 figures establish that the Ford car has clinched its position of sales leadership in the automobile industry. Polk’s net registrations for all 48 states and the District of Columbia show Ford sales to consumers during the year totaled 1.378,344 passenger cars as compared to 1.362,087 units for the second-place make. Polk, the only firm in the U. S. which collects the registration data on a national scale, sells the information to automobile manufacturers and other subscribers. Since the net registration figures represent sales to the public, they are a means of comparing public preference for one make of car with that of another. However, the raw registration totals do not reflect this preference until the figures have been refined to exclude registrations not representative of actual sales to customers during the calendar year.
