 l have been hearing lately certain sur prising statistics m regard to the West lt seems like a misdemeGnor to repro luce them ID the Summer stoltice but though they involve great corollories and dependencies l will content mysel! with broad facts and that forbesrance merits forgiveness. The leading fact is the number of farms ID the ten states of | Ono, Indiana, Illinois. Michigan, Wis sonsin, MInnesots, Iowa. Nebraska, Kansas, and Missouri which to-day num- Der nearly 100000. The second fact Is shat fully one-hslf of these fsrms are mOrtgsged snd the next im cortsnt fact is that these farms gre morngsged for .hree billion of dollars.
