EXPLAINING TROUBLE ON THE
FARM

Chicago. Sept %. Regarding some
of the corn belt farmers and their
troubles, here is some history.
During the boom incident to the war
many corn belt farmers mortgaged
clear farms to buy other farms on
speculation at $3.50 to $500 an acre. In
many places $500 to $500 an acre was
common in Iowa. These farmers also
bought heavily of fake oil and indurtrial
stocks High priced corn was fed to
higher priced cattle, and renters signed
leases for farms at $25 an acre cash
rent. Some of the country bankers
tried to stop it, while others had fin
ger in the business.
After the shrink in prices of farm
produce and live stock natural incl
dent to the conditions then prevailing
here and abroad many Of these rent
ers and a number of farmers who had
mortgaged their lands so heavily found
themselves in bad corner.
About this time, to cap the climax.
the federal reserve banks, after boost
ing interest to per cent, called in an
enormous amount of paper, thus com
pelling the country banks to squeeze
the farmers They sold stuff for almost
nothing.
Last spring | was calling on Iowa
bankers, Here are the statements of
two | recall in this connection One
banker said: 1T was speculation in
wildcat stocks and oil units and boost
ing land values which hurt us much
more than the shrink Of farm produce
prices" Fifty miles distant another
banker said: This is a German settle
ment. We had no speculation here and
no sale of lands at fancy prices. Our
farmers are prosperous My bank has
plenty Of money have had to loan
100000 outside"
During the past year have examined
number Of farms offered for trade
In only a few cases have found any
equity above the mortgage. In one
of seventeen only three had any equity
above the mortgages. One was plaster
ed for $3.50 an acre. Now is it posi-
BILE for man to work out of any such
debt with ordinary farm produce and
live stock
have been speaking Of class
Many Iowa and Illinois farms are clear
of debt To these farmers such prices
as we have now are fairly good. To-
day hogs are worth $40 a hundred
That means a dollar for corn fed to
them il handled right
