OUR FARMERS ARE GETTING
RICR7
PAYING OFF MORTGAGES ON THEIR
FARMS AND CASH FOR FERTILI-
zEBs AND SEEDS.

! A Public Ledger correspondent has in
qnired into the financial condition of Jer-
sey farmers and finds them in condition
of great prosperity. Notwithstanding the
fact that they are paying their mortgages
off at rapid rate money is not tight
with them and they are meeting their
notes promptly" and ''have money left to
pay cash for seeds and fertilizers We
quote the portion devoted to Gloucester
county iarmers;-
The financial condition OF the farmers
of Gloucester county has not been better
for many years. This is the experience OF
the agriculturists as class although, as a
matter of course. some of the soil tillers
are still complaining of financial distress
but in the words of prominent merchant,
who has large business dealings with the
farmers there are men farm ing who know
little or nothing of the practical side of the
business, and il is hoping against hope
for success with that class.
THE records of the County Clerks Office
in Woodbury. are probably the best evil
dence of the prosperous condition Of the
farmer, generally speaking. County Clerk
Ridgway is authority for the statement
that not in his incumbency of seven years
as Clerk bias there been as maDy mort
cages Cancelled by the farmers in period
OF four months as from November last
until the present time, and, added the
Clerk, double the number of mortgages
were recorded against the farmers during
the week of March 25 1899, as during the
week Just ended" Clerk RidgWay could
not estimate the amount represented in the
cancellation of mortgages on farm proper
ty, but he said it reached many thousands
of dollars.
A prominent banking official on Satur-
day, when asked for his opinion on the
financial condition of the farmer, said !:
Money is not tight with them. We have
the opportunity to know the condition of
things, and the farmer, as regards his
business with the bank, is in far better
circumstauc S than for a humber of years,
their notes hav Hg been met promptly"
+" A leading granger stated on Saturday
that the farmers were undoubtedly in
better circumstances financially than for
long period in the past. Most of them
have money" said be, with which to buy
their seeds and fertilizers this year, and
the future holds out much promise to the
soil tiller. What the farmer needs now.
while the movement for organization for
better prices is being perfected, is com
bination to control the acreage under til
lage. One great cause of the low market
prices is the immense amount of truck
raised the markets are glutted; every
man strives for the largest crop, and as a
result the supply far exceeds the demand,
and prices must necessarily drop.
"The farmer is beginning to realize,
however, that too much of one crop does
not pay. and when they cut down the
acreage and stop Quitting the markets
they will even better their present con-
dition.n
