Farm ownership in
Texas is not increasing
in proportion to the in
crease of rural popula-

and tenants express the
opinion that under pres

The price paid by the
Texas farmer for credit,
says the report, is al

1t is highest in the small
farm district of East
Texas, and lowest in the
cattle and wheat regions
of West Texas. It varies
widely, however, in each

trucker and dairy farmer
of East Texas pays less
for credit than the ALL
cotton farmer, and the
all-wheat farmer of the
West pays more than the
farmer-stockman of the

who gives a mortgage on
his livestock and. grow
