Many Farmers Borrow.

Nearly two thirds of the farms
of the state are encountered with
debt, according to Secretary of
State Elmer S. Hall, who OH Mon
day received full report on this
subject from the United States
census bureau. Mr.. Hall has
worked out statistics which show
there are 57,773 farms in the state
that are free from debt and there
are "a, 258 farms in the state that
have some mortgage upon them.
No reports were received from
1879 farms. The number of farms
reporting the amount of debt was
87,o8I and the amount of the mort
gage debt was S354574. 39I The
value Of the land and buildings on
these mortgaged farms aggregated
S937.385358. The ratio of debt
to value Of the property is 37.6 per
cent, and the average rate of inter
est is SIS per cent.

NOT MUCH ORE SHIPPED
DURING MONTH OF JULY
More Ore Was Shipped from GOgebic
Range in July Last Year Than the
Total So Far This Year.

Only asa ,oS9 tons of ore were
shipped from the docks at Ash
land from the Gogebic range mines
IN July, according to the state
ments made public this week.
Last year during the month of
July, 1875, $50 tons of ore was
shipped OF more than 200, 900 tons
IN excess Of the total shipments
from Ashland for the entire 1927
season.
In 1920 the total shipments up
to July I, for the season was s.
600, Io8 as compared with 900, o25
tons to the same date this year.
The same falling off in ship
ments is noted at all the lake ports.
At Duluth shipments for July show
a decrease of 1902 $50 over the
tonnage of last year, while the
total shipments for the present
season is I,424,977 tons short of
last years figures.
To date only 9,S36, $50 tons CT
ore has been shipped from the docks
as compared with 81, POI ,463 tons
last year. The figures for the
various railroads handling ore for
the docks are given below:

Crops Show Improvements.

Growing crops show somewhat
further improvement over a week
ago, reports the crop reporting
service at Madison. This is due to
showers and more moderate tenn
peratures. 1t must be remember

ton of corn, growing crops were in
desperate circumstances two weeks

Early potatoes are practically a

Right of Fishermen.

An opinion given out by the
attorney general of this state gives
the fishermen the right to fish in
streams which flow through lands
that are posted against trespass
if they confne themselves to the
beds of the streams or to the waters
by fishing from a boat, and the
riparian owner of the lands border
ing a stream has no right what
ever to interfere with fisherman
so long as he does not trespass
upon the shores.

MANY MILLS IDLE

Out of the total of $40 blast fur
naces in the steel manufacturing
districts of the lower lakes, Pitts
burg and the east, there we're only
So stacks in blast on July or about
10 per cent of the capacity of the
plants of those districts named.
More than 5000 tons of ore
were on hand at the Erie docks on
July /, or more than enough to
keep the plants at work at 10 per
cent capacity for mo!~ tnan year.
On Jnly /, 1920 there were 23, o74
tons at the lake ports, but all the
mills were at work at capacity.
During the month of June there
was 400, 900 tons of ore con
sumed at the furnaces as compared
with 4, SAC, 900 tons in June, 1920
MORN FREIGHTERs WITHDRAWN
More freighters were withdrawn
from service this week and there is
more idle tonnage than at any time
since the season opened. All the
lines, including shippers, have been
hit hard and there is only one fleet
Of any size that is operating full.
More than half of the vessels Of
many big fleets are at dock, says
a Cleveland dispatch, and it is
understood that some of the freight
ers dropped in the last few weeks
are laid up for the season.
A small amount of ore for de
livery at Lake Erie ports came this
week, but the business did not cut
any figure in the foreign market as
tonnage was lined up through con
nections. There is a little better
feeling in the steel trade and while
most furnace interests that plan to
take ore have named the tonnage
required it is expected more orders
will be booked later. Some shippers
are sending ore forward faster than
they did last month, but ship
ments are light and the general
opinion is the movement for the
+ season will not exceed Is. 900 tons.
Last year the tonnage shipped was
/ IS, ooo, 900 tons.
Owning to the small shipping
orders, considerable ore is being
placed on dock and storage room
at some ports becoming more diff
cult to obtain. Little future load
