MORE MORTGAGES ON AMERICAN FARMS IN 1920 THAN FORMERLY
Farms in the United States which are operated by their owners enow an increase in mortgages, according to the figures given out by the census bureau today. There are 21.4 per cent more owner-operated farms which were mortgaged in 1920 than in 1910.
The total number of farms operated by owners was 3,945,722 in 1910 and 3,925,090 in 1920. a decrease of sixtenth of one per cent. Of these farms there were 1,327,439, or 33.6 per cent, which carried mortgage debts in 1910. In 1920, of the total number of owned farms 1,611,378, or 41.3 per cent, were mortgaged. "This increase does not necessarily indicate any lack of prosperity, however," says the official statement, "since much of the money Is borrowed for profitable investment in improvements or in additional land." Many Mortgages
States having largest percentages of mortgaged farms are: North Dakota, 75.9 per cent; Montana, 64.6 per
cent; South Dakota, 63.1 per cent;
Idaho, 62.8 per cent; Wisconsin, 62 per cent; and Oklahoma, 60.4 per cent
Lowest percentages were in West
Virginia, North Carolina, Virginia,
Tennessee, Florida, Louisiana, Michi
gan, South Carolina and Kentucky.
The percentages run from 16 for West
Virginia to 25.8 for Kentucky.
The north central states from Michigan on the east to Idaho on the west
have the highest percentages.
Ohio had 192,104 farms operated by
owners in 1919 and 177,986 in 1920
There were 28.9 per cent of the farms
mortgaged in 1910 and 31.6 per cent
in 1920. Indiana, with a decrease in
the farms that were operated by own
ersfrom 148,501 in 1910 to 137,210
in 1920 shows owners in less com
plete control of their farms, as the percentage of mortgages has increased from 33.8 per cent in 1910 to
41.3 per cent in 1920.
Illinois shows about the same mortgage increase from 39.2 per cent to 42.6 per cent but Michigan has more than half its farms mortgaged, the number being 48.2 per cent in 1910 end 51.9 per cent in 1920.

Probably many of the tourists will wish to pttend this attraction. Another plan suggested which will permit the
party to attend both the Chautauqua and the Friends meeting is to have the Friends meeting before the opening of the chauiauqua program in the evening. What is to be done depends upon the answer of the association secretary to the letter sent him Thursday.

AGRICULTURAL BOARD NOT BOUND BY PACT INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 15. The state board of agriculture is not required by law to have its catalogues and other documents printed by the Fort Wayne Printing company, which holds the state printing contract, according to an opinion submitted to I. Newt Brown, secretary of the board,
by Attorney General Lesh. The opinion was recevied with con
siderable surprise by a number of state officials, who believed that all state boards and offices were required by law to have printing done by the state printer, under the supervision of the state board of printing. Officials Objected. The state board of agriculture, under the provisions of recent legislation, is' now a state body. Last year, when the board was a quasi-public affair, the board was required, it is said, to have its printing done by the state printer. Officials of the board are
said to have objected to being com-j pelled to have the printing done by the state printer. The only exception, according to officials, is for the state educational institutions, which are permitted, with the" approval of the printing board, to enter into separate contracts for printing. It is said that some officials of the agriculaural body regard the board as an "educational institution."
