The papers are speaking of farmers lifting
the mortgages from their farms, as though it
was recent. It is not 30 with the farmers of
Waldo county, for nearly all of them swept
their mortgages off during the war. Prior to
that time, in the crisis of ~ to $50, when the
banks of the State were under suspension it
was estimated that fully two-thirds of the
farms in this county were under mortgage.
Since the war but comparatively few farms
have been placed under mortgage, and in
many, if not most cases, those have been put
on when farms have changed owners; part of
the purchase money remaining on mortgage.
Those are being fast redeemed. Many farmers
who bought upon credit have promptly met
the payments. for money has been made by
farming, while pensions and arrears of PEN
sions have been fine thing for many who sur
vived the war.-Belfast Age.
