Experience in the care ~ new
strawberry beds shows that u pays

throughout the growing season using
a small cultivator every week or ten
days. according to experienced straw
berry growers. The bed should
never be allowed to become foul with
weeds A. IL requires considerable
time and work to clean out such a
bed.
After the bed has been set in the
spring and up until the first % July
il should be cultivated with small
implement or tool preferably a Ia
tooth garden harrow making the cul-
tivation in both directions A. soon
as the runners have grown to about
one foot long the two-way cultiva-
iiun may be discontinued and the
runners allowed TO form matted
row which should gradually ill up
and widen on, until about 10 inches
wide.
Up until the time Of discon,inu-
ing the two-way cultivation only a
small amount Of hand hoeing is
necessary but as soon a. the runners
have formed matted row. grass

FARM MORTGAGE INDEBTEDNESS

! Mortgage indebtedness against
American farms more than doubled in
the decade between 1910 and 1920. ac.
cording to figures published by the
census bureau. Mortgage indebted
ness increased more rapidly than the
value OF all farms, the increase in
mortgages being 1850, while the in
crease in the value of farms was only
1850. Mortgaged farms must have
shown a greater increase in value
than the average, however, for the
census figures show that mortgages
in 1920 amounted to only 2O.1% of
the value of the mortgaged farms.
while in 1910 they amounted to
2738s.
An increase in mortgage indebted /
ness is the usual accompaniment of |
rising prices for farm products and
rising land values, or of what we call
good times. Under such conditions.
farmers borrow money to increase
their working capital Also, in times
Of increasing land values when farms
are sold, mortgages of increasing size
ire given by the purchasers. Judgl
ng by what has occurred in previous
lecades, it is not surprising that the
census returns show more than
DOUBLING in farm mortgages.
Does the fact that farm mortgages
increased 1850 in 10 years show 7
hat farmers fell back financially in I
nat time? 1t means that farmers as
whole went deeper in debt. but if p
oes not mean that their liabilities f
ere greater in proportion to their +
otential assets. s
For example, suppose Nebraska is
rmer had a quarter section worth W
5000 in 1910, and mortgaged for
,730, or 273% of its value the m
erage for that year. He would have ST
equity in the farm of 1920. In 1t
20, this farm would be worth dl
l,76O, at the average rate of in 10
ease in value of 1850, and at tn
average rate in increase of mort co
&c indebtedness would be mort pc
sed for $6,347 leaving him an
lity of $15.413. ga
The slump in prices of farm prod lie
S in the past year has greatly re- gr'
led the income from farms and is ha
ng to make it hard digging to carry OF
