The Western states have given more at
tentiun to the collection of statistics of
mortgages than other parts Of the country,
The subject is one Of great and growing
interest and it is well worth the careful
examination Of statisticians and Statesmen
Ohio is the oldest of the northwestern
states The state bureau Of statistics re
ported for the year 1883. 29l GAO mort
cages upon real estate, and the amount for
which the land is mortgaged is $3.50 wv
900 The assessed value Of real estate was
81 300 262 600; the mortgage Indebtedness,
therefore, was, within fraction. one third
the value of the whole real estate OF Ohio.
The aggregate mortgage Indebtedness Of
the people Of Indiana is at least S26O OO,-
900
The total number Of real estate mort
cages in Illinois. in 1887 apart from city
lots, was ", IL, for an amount Of SAP
400 600 the overdue interest amounted to
81, 9l9 1j4, and the total Indebtedness Of
the farmers, therefore was Sl41, 800, 600.
The number of acres mortgaged was 8, OS2,
19i, and the rate of interest was about 81
per cent. But of course the interest nom
mated in the bond was not all. The in
terest, in one form or another. will rarely
! fall below 10 per cent.
The annual report Of the Michigan labor
| bureau for 1888 shows the following re-
| suits: The total number of farms in the
/ states was go SO3, Of which 1903 were
mortgaged, their assessed value being $40 -
! 1l3,0 and the mortgage Indebtedness
! S31 1876 900. The rate of interest was 2
per cent, and the accrued interest was
! 50, 1Ol 600 The percentage of mortgages
to the assessed value of the mortgaged
lands was 46S. The number of mortgage
foreclosures during the year was ,661, and
the number of redemptions 1871. The num-
Der of sales under execution was pa, and
the number of redemptions was 80.
There are said to be 100000 farms in
Kansas; and on this basis the editor of the
Topeka Advocate concludes that the total
mortgage Indebtedness of the state, among
the farmers, is SAG. j63, 600 The report
adds: "A great many have had to borrow
interest from the banks, and others have
not paid interest for two years
The virgin soil of the West is rapidly
ceasing to be the home and the possession
of the sturdy American freeman. 1t is re
lated of John Randolph of Roanoke thai
when visiting a neighboring planter, som,
seventy years ago, he found his hostess sur
rounded by her female servants, making
clothing for the Greeks who were strug
Cling for liberty and independence. Blu
while taking leave, he observed a troop o
ragged slaves approaching the house anC

ItI.n Good Crop for vernon. Also


The editor of the Maine Farmer is a
stanch believer in Indian corn as a crop for
New England farmers. Early last May,
at the beginning of the season, we copied
from his columns an excellent general arti-
Gle on the corn crop, urging its all-round
value and utility, with figures to show how
cost of production and value compared,
and ending 10y an earnest recommendation
to farmers TO increase the breadth of the
crop The writer of the article evidently
practices what he breaches, for in his last
weeks issue we find the following refer
ence to the results of the past seasons ex-
perence
In spite of some drawbacks due to unfa-
vorable weather there has been a fairly
good crop of corn harvested by those farm
ers who started out in the spring with an
effort to this end. To US there Is a great
satisfaction in a corn crop, and at this
time we feel good measure of pride, Just
or not, that we have Just completed the
husking, and nov have safely in store
above 800 baskets of ears, bright and
sound, OF this golden crop Had the sea
son been favorable we should have done
much better, but the crop as it is has given
profitable returns for the outlay in real
money value, and in addition brings with
1t a further contribution of satisfaction
over the result, aud sense Of independ-
ence that goes great way in contributing
to the cuntentment and pleasure of life on
the farm. There is food grain and fodder
in the corn crop.
We thoroughly believe in corn as an eco
monte crop in Maine. With the exception
of Washington and Aroostook counties, al
over the state it Is the surest crop we grow
In lite experience in growing the crop
we have known only single year of gen
eral failure Grass is called the king OF
crops among Us, but even with this croI
there has been more of failure than witt

Maine farmers, then, should raise corn

AGRICULTURAL.
The November ,rop Report.


The November report Of the department
Of agriculture places the average yield per
acre Of several of the leading products for
1890 very low Corn averages only 1917
bushels per acre, which is the lowest yield
ever reported except in 1881, when the es-
tmated Weld was only 1876 bushels per
acre. The Weld Of corn in Vermont is re-
ported at % bushels per acre, which is
exceeded by four Other states. The potato
crop in Vermont we believe is reported at
less than the actual Weld The depart
ment figures make it % bushels per acre.
THE Weld was certainly much larger than
the estimate in this part Of the state. Yet
the only states in which the potato crop is
reported higher per acre than in Vermont
are Washington ll5 bushels, and Oregon
100 bushels The average for the United
States i, only =, bishels per acre
OF the fruit product it is said that the
season has been the worst for fruit that the
department has ever reported. The ex-
traordinary mildness Of the winter, caus-
ing winter blooming and great tenderness
of bud growth rendered the frosts Of
March almost universally destructive.
Peaches have been almost unknown in the
great peach-growing sections, and apples
are a rarity in the great apple-producing
sections The Missouri river bluffs, aud
contiguous areas furnish the principal sup
plies which 20 to all parts of the country.
The Ben Davis variety, which some people
regard as only better than nothing, is the
