MORTGAGES AND FROspERIrK
According to Financial authorities
farm mortgages arc p6aln cn lhe
increase . fact that, ANONYMOUSLY,
nowaday1 il 4 certain elgn oi revly-
lug prosperity. The day when farm
mortgages q plenty sisnifled depres-
sion Is past; liberal borrowing on
farms means the contrary today.
Notwithstanding the Increase Of
Farm mortgage loans. they do not
seII to Western investors with the
snap and 60 that 50 pleases the deal
ers IN them. Herein lies big fact
concerning the condition Of the
American farmer in the year A. D.
1909, his ability to borrow At q rate
50 low that investors in the West are
mot satisfied and are more and more
becoming buyers Of securities, bonds
principally. but also stocks, because
they get d higher rate for their
money. Tie fact that prime mort
cages on farms in Illinois and Iowa
no longer allure Jones with 500
surplus. which be wants TO invest, a
that Jones has familiarized himself
with securities which were empty
names to him q few years ago. Jones
wants to "play safe" but he cannot
submit to a rate Of 4 ~ per cent to
4 8-4 per cent for farm mortgage,
when he can buy bonds that are
equally secure and get 5 and 8 per
cent. The public service corpora
lions, the manufacturer and the rail-
road company can, and will and do
pay more for money than the Ameri-
can farmer. Moreover. Jones can
turn his securities into money quick
~ when he wants his cash again,
which never has been 50 true Of
mortgages.
The anomaly about the increase Of
farm loans when general business 10
no longer in distress Is explained BY
one mortgage house thus: I'm the
rural districts this last financial diff
flcuIty was felt less than BY any
other class Of people. Farmers have
had four years Of excellent crops and
are well fixed. The farther west you
90, the less they understand what
The panic was a year ago. Scarcity
81 farm mortgages indicates failure
with farmers. When farming inter-
lists are successful, farm mortgages
Increase. There Is no difference in
he position Of the farmer when he
Is successful and that Of the msr-
,hant. They both reach out. In do
ng so they borrow money. There
ire far more farm mortgages now
han the demand for them meets"
