MORTGAGES INCREASE
WITH VALUE OF FARM
Gain During Last Decade Ap-
pears Almost Startling.
Growth Has Been Most Marked in
Sections Which Have Made Great
est Progress-No Cause for
Alarm, Says Bulletin.

tPrepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
While the increase In farm mort
gage indebtedness during tie last dec
AIDE appears almost startling, the
increase is not in itself a cause for
alarm, declares the United States
Department of Agriculture In De-
partment Bulletin 1O47, Farm Mort
gage Loans by Banks. Insurance
Companies. and Other Agencies. a
new publication prepared by v. N.
Valgren and Elmer E.. Engelbert and
now ready for distribution. The in
crease, say the writer's, is rather a
logical result of increased market
value of farms. The rise in these
values, in turn, reflects better farm
incomes during the decade than pre-
vailed during the preceding years,
these incomes being to a considerable
extent invested in added permanent
improvements in the form of build
ings, fences, silos, and drainage and
irrigation systems. According TO pre-
liminary reports for the census of
1920, mortgage Indebtedness on farms
operated by full owners amounted to
$4,012, 711,213, as against $1,726,172,-
81 in 1910. The information avail
able concerning the amount and
sources of farm mortgage loans in
the United States is f~ragmentary, the
bulletin points out.
A very large percentage of farm
mortgages is the result of land trans
fers, the mortgage, like tenancy, form
Ing a rung in the agricultural ladder
to farm ownership. The size of the
mortgage naturally tends to bear a
direct relationship to the purchase
price of the farm. To the extent
that farm mortgages are the result
of investments in productive perma-
nent Improvements and equipment by
existing farm owners, they evidence
progress and not repression. In gem
eral, the increase in farm mortgages
during each decade since data were
first gathered by the census has been
most marked in sections which have
mate the greatest progress during
that period. Even where improve
ments are paid for out of savings in
stead of with the proceeds of loans,
the increased value and price of a
farm is quite certain to result in a
larger mortgage in case the farm is
transferred to a new owner.

Excellent Wit Resistant Type of To-
matoes.

They are selections from the Greater
Baltimore, Stone and Merveille des
Marches (Marvel of the Market), three
of the best commercial varieties
grown. They possess. in addition TO.
viii resistance. all the good qualities
Of their parent varieties. Extensive
field tests have shown them to be well
adapted TO all parts of the United
States in which tomato wilt is present.
The work done in connection with the
development of these varieties is de-
scribed in n new department bulletin.

sistant Tomatoes. by F. j. Pritchard,

ton. =
Very few commercial varieties of
tomatoes possess appreciate resist
ance TO wilt. The Duke of York and
the Buckeye State, apparently one va
riety under two names, are highly re-
s%istant, but they produce poorer fruit
than the varieties developed by the
department.
L~iyingston's Globe is somewhat re-
s~istant, but its fruit, although of good
size and shape, is Objectionable to
inner and also to dealers in some
others markets because of its purple
color. Moreover, it is very susceptible
to nailhead rot, q destructive disease
prevalent in the South.
Obtain Resistant Varieties.
Superior wilt-resistant varieties
may be obtained by selection from
varieties that normally produce a
heavy crop of excellent fruit, and vary
considerably in the degree of wilt re-
sistance possessed by their individual
plants. Even If such varieties are sus-
ceptible TO wilt. If they produce occa-
sional resistant plants. they afford
good material for selection, but the Sc
lections have to be carefully tested
on uniformly wilt-infested soil for a
period of several years in order to OBJ
tain the best strains or varietiss-a
process requiring more time, skill and
expense than the average grower can
give to II. Most varieties transmit APP
proximately the same degree of wilt
reSisthh'e !" an lhSht piahtS anu coh-
sequently offer little opportunity for
Improvement by selection. Tomato
plants selected for wilt resistance
usually transmit to their immediate
offspring as much resistance as can be
developed from them by subsequent
selection In a few instances increased
resistance has been obtained in the
second selection, but not In later Sc
lections.

The only successful means of con-

the United States Department of Agri-

tomatoes in the Middle Atlantic, Gulf

wilt fungus lives in the soil and in
vades the tomato plant through its

His Fiy.t Long Pants.

Mrs. Robert StoltZ As he WAS taken
TO a small cage among the "lifers,"
the hardened criminals, doomed to
spend the rest of their days behind
prison bars, guIped as they peered
with wondering eyes at the youth.
The boy was dealt his heavy SEN
tence by Judge Loring after trial
that lasted three days. His aunt, Mrs.
Catherine Maree Of Chicago, en-
ployeed one of the two lawyers who
defended the boy. Their insanity plea
was quickly overthroWn. No evidence
was offered at the trial that the boy
was badly treated at the Stoltz home,
and it was shown that he shot the
woman in cold Blood. The states at
tOrney asked the death chair, but the
jury demurred point and made it
life Imprisonment. Many protests are
being filed against the sentence, and
movement is also under way to con-
tlnue the fight to have the boy ad-
judged insane.
