MORTGAGE DEBT ON OWNED

by the Census Bureau giving
the amounst and percentages Of
mortgages on owned homes ano
farms IN the United States in
1920 cu1npare' with 1890, a per
iod Of thirty Yeas.
This report shows that the eS-
tlmafed debt on owned farms in
1890 vas $1,0S6.OOO and the total
value Of these farms were esti-
mated at 5000 900, 900, the ratio
Of debt to value heiny :}:).6 per

The mort gage debt on similar
farms III 1920 was S5,OO1 100000
and the total estimated value Of
these farms was given as SIT zoe
OOO.OU0 the ratio Of debt to value
being 2S.4 per cent. The value
Of The farms during the thirty
year period showed an increase;
Of 1854 per cent while the mort
gagged debt increased only 800,
per cent. which shows a fairly
healthy condition generally with
respect TO farm ownership.
We have no available up-to~
date figures for North Caroline
Or this county, but the depres-
sion of the past two years has
served to place many an addi-
tlonal mortgage upon the farms
in this section and the South
which it will take many wears to
liGui,ialc. It is a regrettahle con
dition, for when there is Il mort
gage OF. tie farm the interest on
this mortgage, at least. must be
earned before there is any profit
to the owner. Farming on heav-
lily mort tagged land is an uphill
undertake ing and the obligation
should never be incurred except
under he direst necessity.
