porous farming states have the snail

Congressman delivering OF Kansas
IL a speech recently made this very
plain From census figures he showed
that the four southern states of

alone has many times that amount.
Yet Wisconsin is an ideally prosper

tits the same all through. The
hest agricultural states have the most
mortgages and the most proprietor
farmers; the poorest states have few
est mortgages and fewest proprietor
farmers. The mortgage IS the poor
mans stepping stone to ownership.
u poor man can't hope to buy a farm
unless he can mortgage it. The
south's trouble has been that the.e
is no money to loan there on farm
mortgages. Iowa owes more on farm
mortgages than any Other stare
about $2040OO,000. Nobody doubts
that Iowa is quite an agricultural
state, and yet Iowa's farm mortgage
debt is just about twice the combined
mortgage debt Of eleven southern
rates.
