Millions in Farm Mortgages.

Western farmers have grown
rather particular about their in
debtedness. One of the common
requirements of the modern
mortgage Is that the mortgagee
shall accept any portion of the
principal at the time of any in
terest payment. This means that
the harvesting of a good wheat
crop, or the fortunate sale of
bunch of cattle, may wipe out the
debt, and the loan agent must
find another borrower. Howev.
err, one insurance company has
$40, 100000 in Western farm
mortgage loans, and the interest
thereon is sufficient to pay ali It's
death losses. Another company
has 500, 100000 in these loans,
scattered over the Mississippi
Valley. Th larger sums are in
Illinois, with about $26,000,O00;
Minnesota, with $4,000, 900; Mis-
sonri, 81, 100000; Iowa, $40, 700,-
600; Ohio, $8,000,000, and lesser
amounts IN a dozen other States.
1t places approximately 1000
farm-mortgage loans every year.
and has tits history loaned $685.
100000 In this way, with practi-
cally no loss. A report in the
Annals of the American Academy
of Science, gives the amount of
mortgages held by the life insur-
ance companies at $490, ,632, 508,
or 27.7 per cent. of the companies
assets. This, however. includes
loans on city property as well as
those on farms. The percentage
is second only to that invested IN
bonds, indicating the partlallty
for this form of investment by
the most conservative of invest.
ors.
The insurance. company is safe
guarded in every possible way.
| The lnterrogatories of the appli-
cation cover four large pages, and
include everything from the size
of the borrowers family to the
use he proposes to make OF the
money. They even inquire into
his habits and his standing 10 the
community; tor the well informed
investor realizes that the best
part of his security is the person
ality of the borrower.
Thus, 1t happens that tile insur
ance companies have few foreclos
ures and practically no losses on
this class of investments. Of re-
cent years the value of land has
increased so rapidly that every
loan,- made, as theseinvestments
are, on basis of 40 per cent. of
real lue,-became "gllt edged, !"
and was the best possible securl-
