FARMERS VICTIMS
OF RUINOUS PRICES
IN NORTHWESTERN STATES
THOUSANDS BANKRUPT.
MANY LOSE HOMES.

WASHINGTON Vivid pictures
of the financial distress and physical
suffering which farmers in our north
western states are experiencing are to
John F. Sinclair. banker of Mime
apolis, Mimi, and submitted by him
to the senate committee on agricul-
ture and forestry.
Mr.. Sinclair obtained these facts
BY means of a QUESTIONABLE address
ed to bankers in Minnesota, North
Dakota, South Dakota and Montana.
The survey revealed that many farm
ers are being driven by their hard
ships into bankruptcy and to suicide.
Only small percentage OF the queS-
tions asked of the bankers IN these
states were answered, but the dis
closures are startling.
In the four states canvassed by
Mr. Sinclair the total number OF sui
cides in the last twelve months was
1903, of which 81 were reported in
North Dakota alone The total, it is
believed. was very much larger than
this but the QUESTIONABLE was not
fully answered on this or any other
point. The bankruptcies among farm.
ers in the four states were l,544. Ot
these 743 were reported from North
Dakota.
foreclosures in these states within a
wear. Again North Dakota had sad
pre-eminence, with a total OF Z,45o
foreclosures. This number represent
ed rs per cent of the firms in the
state. More than 5000 farmers have
been forced to abandon their farms IN
these states within the last three years,
the survey showed. In North Dakota
the number of farmers compelled. to
leave their lands was 2,667; in Min
nesota. 1,717; in South Dakota l,|o5
and in Montana 2,013.
Taxes in these states have grown
to be an almost insupportable bur
den, the statistics indicate. In North
Dakota the taxes have increased by
II per cent in the last three years,
according to Mr.. Sinclair's statements
In Minnesota the increase in taxes IN
three years has been AZ per cent; IN
South Dakota 80 per cent and in Mon
tana 20 per cent.
