FARM LOAN WARNING
SOUNDED FROM EAST
Realty Mortgage Field Alarmed
by Depressed State of
Agriculture.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
KANSAS CITY. Mo. August IS
Coming into the interior from Eastern
investment concerns, such as life in
surance companies, Is a stream of
counsel to be very careful about farm
loans. The collapse of the wheat
price and the generally depressed sit
uation Of agriculture have caused
alarm for the realty mortgage field
While interest rates have not ben
increased, the requirements, appraisals
and limitations of loans have been
materially stiffened. making 1t more
difficult for any but gilt-edged securi-
ties to be written Along with this is
general turning to snortizsd loans,
which, Of course, reduced the risk an
nually.
The great volume of realty loans in
the farm country already existing is
one of the burdens of the financial
structure and the past two years
have been particularly strenuous in
the collection departments of loaning
agencies. Naturally. the present Sit
uatlon intensifies the problem by re-
ducing the debt-paying power of the
borrower. One insurance company
with S25, 10000 of farm loans in
Kansas had $4,000 more defaulted In
terest August / than year ago One
trust company with $20,000,000 in
farm loans through the Southwest re-
ports 10 per cent increased defaults,
though foreclosures have not increased
because of the disposition to allow all
possible leniency.
we receive many letters" explained
the president, saying that the Dor
rover has several thousand bushels of
wheat which he expects to bring more
money in two or three months and
asking for time This we extend as
does every loan agency when the Dor
rover is thus equipped. Generally we
are making a stipulation that when
wheat reaches 40 cents bushel it
shall be sold for enough to pay the
coupons due
The corn belt is in somewhat better
status than the wheat area, for recent
rains have given relief to sections
where the crop was seriously in need
OF moisture and. with the present price
of live stock, the prospect for mar
keting cattle prof1tably during the Win
ter is fairly good Added to the use
Of corn is appearing a large amount
of wheat feeding. which helps reduce
the surplus and makes a good return
to stockmen While corn will give no
such bumper crop as wheat, it APP
parently will make a better showing
than was indicated three weeks ago.

BUTTER CUT OFF DIET
OF FREE STATE PRISONS
Margarine, Which Many Families
Must Eat, Takes Place and
Milk Allowance Cut.

DUBLIN. (SpeciaI-As many fami-
lies in the Irish Free State can only sf-
ford to spread margarine on their bread,
butter has been eliminated from the
prison dietary system. The substitution
CT margarine for butter, coupled with 8
cut in the amount of milk served to
iailbirds at breakfast, is expected to ef-
feet a reduction OF 75o head of the
prison population in the course OF 8
year. Only prisoners On hospital diet
will be given butter
Even with these changes in the prison
dietary system it is claimed by the
minister of justice that prisoners will
have better chow than the inmates
of other state institutions. One prison
in the Free State has such q small

number CT officials engaged to look after
them is so per cent of the total prison

not confirmed, and price gains failed
