Distinction for state.


West Virginia as result of the
present census has proud distinc-
ton concerning the property OF It's
farmers. This state is in class by
Itself in the matter of small per-
centage of mortgaged farms. In an
editorial entitled "Grist from the
Census" the National stockman
calls attention to this distinction.
The editorial Is as follows:
The big mill at Washington Is
slowly grinding out the census re-
turns, Some agricultural statistics
for about a score of states are now
available and they foreteli interesting
comparisons later. We have exam
ined these reports to ascertain
whether1 the system OF tenaatry ia
increasing or decreasing and find
some curious things. For instance,
In Pennsylvania, Maryland, New
Jersey, the New England states and
Missouri 1t Is decreasing. In Illi-
nois the number OF tenants increased
301 per cent in the last decade, in
Minnesota 90 per cent. in wiscon-
sin Z per cent, in Kansas g per cent,
in Indiana only 2 per cent, and in
Michigan only 4 per cent. The
three states which show the largest
increase in tenantry also reveal a
decrease in the use of commercial
fertilizers as compared with ten
years ago-1llinois 81 per cent,
Minnesota IS per cent and Wiscon-
sin So per cent. Let the fertilizer
men and the farm owners figure this
out as they please-we merely cite
the facts. Farm mortgages AFFORD
another interesting morsel for the
student. The progressive state of
Wisconsin has more mortgaged
farms than clear ones, and the
Western and Northwestern states
have a much higher proportion of
mortgaged farms than the older
states. Pennsylvania. for example,
has 112,995 free and 50s5S2 mort
gagged Garqs; Michigan has 1914.
free and S2,47S mortgaged. and
Minnesota has 56,744 free and ST.
GAS mortgaged. West virginia is in
a class by itself thus far with only
s,456 mortgaged farms against
$3.50 clear ones.

Exponent wants the council to wait

prevent the widening of the pave

far more money for the strip. The

whether hold-up is limited at.
