The one great reason why the farmers
OF Iowa have not prOspered more than
they have in the last 10 years has been
tdeir Indebtedness. Within few years

not covered by mortgage, and many is
the farmer who has lost his all through
foreclosure, Iowa farm mortgages We're
eagerly sought for by Eastern companies
and capitalists, and mi llIons OF dollars
were invested N them. There has been a
falling OIL in this industry lately, how
ever, and the farmers are gradually but
surely discriminating themselves from
their burdens. We hope the good times
will continue at least long enough to en-
able our Iowa farmers to free themselves
OF debt. Then they viii be in better con-
dltloD than any other class Of people,
and as result OF their improved circuin-
stances all other pursuits Will revive and
