HIGH PRICED LAND
BUYERS LOSE MONEY
AT PRESENT, BERTSCH

CAMBRIDGE CITY, Dec. 29.-That
the farmers have borne their full
share of the recent depression was
pointed out by Uriah Bertsch, prom
inent farmer of Cambridge City, We'd
nesday. Bertsch had just completed
balancing his yearly accounts and re-
ported that his receipts for the year
were just half those for the previous
year.
II fear that farmers who bought
land at the high prices of 1919 will
have a hard time paying out, if they
went in debt for any large part of
their purchase" he said. eff l had to
pay interest on as much as half of
my investment at present interest
rates, l should be in a bad way,
too"
viii Not Pay Interest.
Present prices for farm products
and stock will not pay the high in
terest charges on money borrowed to
pay for land during the boom, to say
nothing of making payments on the
principal and supporting the farmer,
too. Probably many who went in
| debt for too large a margin of their
investment will be closed out though
perhaps not in the immediate future.
My own farm is paying only per cent
on the capital this year. No farmer
can borrow any money at that figure ~
Though not living on the farm at
present. having turned the actual
management over to his two sons,
Bertcsh is actively interested in his
two farms and does much work on
them. He also takes a deep interest
in farmers organizations, having
hnIr in
and being at present vice-president
of his local federation.
Cites University Data.
In speaking of prevailing prices for
| livestock, particularly cattle, Bertsch
said they were entirely too low.
Citing state university feeding ex-
! periments which showed a loss even
| on the most profitably fed cattle, he
said: Profit in feeding depends on
| the market. Three hundred pounds
of grain put on a thousand pound
animal, for instance, always costs
| more than is received for that three
-! hundred pounds. If there is profit
on the animal, it comes from selling
! it at better price than was paid
for it, and to get profit. it is neces.
sary to take loss on the three hun.
! dred pounds"
| ''The feeder is in a bad shape now
and it is certain, since he is not COM
PEELED to, that he will not continue
to produce without a profit" Many
! hogs, for instance, have been shipped
in lately, though prices offered are
not extraordinary"
! CENTERVILLE, Ind, Dec. %
Four cars of nicely finished, smooth
! hogs went out of Centerville Tuesday
1t was reported that four cars also
had been shipped Monday.
AS result of the recent cold snap
farm butchering has been made the
order of the day in this vicinity

does custom business in this line

The Filipinos declare they have no
grEdge or grievance against the Amer
lean people. Their appeal is accom-
panied by message Of friendship and
gratitude for all that America has done
