GROWTH OF THE
farm MORTGAGES

Before the World War the
farm-mortgage debt of United
States farms was only about half
as large as the annual gross in
come of farmers. This was true
even at the peak of the postwar
boom. But at the beginning of
this year the farm mortgage is
about twice as great as farm In
come.
To pay a dollar interest on
the principal of farm debts today
takes more than twice as much
farm products as before the
World War. With the average
of farm values of approximately
at the pre-war level, and with
the price of farm products at
about As percent below the pre-
war level, the total mortgage
debt on farms is about three
times as great as it was in 1910.
Therefore, there are now three
times as many dollars of interest
or mortgages to be paid, so that
the real mortgage debt on farms
is about three times as great as
it was in 1910.
Interest burden on farm NOR
tages, which is now about IA
billion dollars, is about 900 mil
lion dollars annually. Nearly
SO per cent of farm mortgages
exceed so per cent of the value
of the land they incumber
Nearly 10 per cent of farm NOR
tgages equal so per cent of the
value of the land they incumber.
Above % per cent of these
farm mortgages are held by in
surance companies. , CONNER
cial banks hold about 10 per
cent. Farmers, active or retir-
ed, hold about Is per cent.
Interest payment on farm
mortgages are now more than
five times greater than the inter-
est payments on the World War
debts. The only method of re-
lief to the farmers seems to be
to increase the price of farm
products. One of the direct
ways to sec ure this relief. to
raise the price of farm products,
is to eliminate the wildcat"
interstate trucks which bring
chaos in the local market of all
farm products.

BENSON CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE PROTEST

The Chamber of Commerce
of Benson have sent out a cir
cular letter aga inst the propos-
ed legislation regarding the reg
ulation of trucks and busses, to
wit:
The town of Benson is very
largely dependent upon the
Apache Powder Company for
its existence, and we have been
very reliably informed that the
Apache Powder Company is,
under present operative condl-
tions, dependent upon the trans
portation of its products by
truck. A large part of its dro-
duction is being shipped to Cali
fornia by truck---secured only
because they were able to quote
favorable delivered prices via
truck, which existing rail rates
would have precluded. With
the mining industry in the So.
west practically at a standstIll,
the Apache Powder Company
would not be able to continue
to operate without business
which it has secured outside of
the State of Arizona.
The Apache Powder Comp
any normally employs about
two hundred men at its plant
near Benson, and is one of the
largest taxpayers in Cocnise
County, its taxes having been
approximately $4,000 per day.
The citizens of Benson are
much concerned over the pros
pectiye legislation. The COM
munity is not opposed TO just
taxation and proper regulation
of trucks and bus lines, but
does believe that regulation of
interstate traffic is within the
scope of the Federal Govern
ment rather than individual
states,

PATRONRE HOME INDUS
TRIES" GOOD SLOGAN

The Coolidge Chamber of
Commerce is circulating neat
Pamphlets setting forth the
many opportunities, to farmers,
investors and home-seekers, to
be had in Coolidge.---We don't
know where they were printed,
we do know that we wanted the
job,-- and the Examiner was re-
quested to bid on the various
sizes and quantities of folders
and was the lowest bidder. A
committee was named to have
5000 small folders printed at q
cost not to exceed. $500, and
that is the last the publisher of
the Coolidge Examiner heard
about the matter. until the
finished pamphlet was handed
to him.
"Patronize Home Indus
tries" is a good slogan when
followed.
AS we said before, we don't
know where the folder was
printed, however, it seems that
some important information to
homeseekers was left to the
imagination of its readers; some
mention of our churches should
interest homeseekers, also some
mention of the active Fraternal
societies are usually of interest
to homeseekers.

DAMAGE MARKETS FOR
HOME GROWN PRODUCTS

Grant Observation-Disclosures can
wreck any perishable commod-
ity market by dumping at anv
given time more than the mar
ket can consume" said Paul r.
Baxter, of Phoenix, manager OF
| the Farmers Produce Company
and of the Central Wholesale
Terminal Market, and chair
man of the executive committee
of the Arizona Producers Pro-
tective Association.
Besides wrecking our local
commodity markets for the
truck and fruit growers of Ari-
zona, they also damage markets
for our homegrown products
outside of Arizona. A trite ex-
preston is that two birds may
be killed with one stone. Now
let me show you how these
itinerant Observation-Disclosures kill
ed four big birds with one stone.
after the freeze in the spring
of 1882, when a considerable
quantity of our local crop of
oranges and grapefruit was
frozen, these itinerant merchant
truckers brought in large guam
titles of eggs from Texas points
and sold them there and else
where.
Thus they GD, broke the
local market price for Arizona
eggs; ;(2), broke the price of our
citrus fruit: (3). destroyed the
good reputation of our citrus
fruit wherever sold: (4) and
helped to tear up and wear out
highways, all at one and the
same time.
So effectually was our citrus
fruit market abroad injured
that it will take ten years to
eradicate that damage. These
truckers gave our citrus fruits
such a bad reputation in Cali
fornia and New Mexico, in
numerous Texas points, in Den
yer and Pueblo, Colorado, and
as far east as Kansas City, Mis-
souri,, that dealers that ceased
to buy Arizona citrus fruits
from dealers here for fear that
they would get the same infer
ior fruit. We are still suffering
from the damage done to our
citrus fruits by these truckers
on that occasion. The truckers
picked up this fruit here for a
song they sung themselves and
sold it to unsuspecting dealers
and consumers abroad who do
not understand the damage of
freezing to citrus fruit, and at
low price which broke our Cit
rus Growers Association prices
for standard brands, which this
association and our Chamber
of Commerce have worked hard
for many years to establish.
Zone of the worst results is
that our citrus brands and trade
marks have In many markets
lost their cumulated value. /
can remember when we receiv-
ed one dollar a box more for
Arizona grapefruit in California

but these truckers just about
abolished premiums there by
selling worthless, frozen, un-
graded and irresponsible Arizo-
ma packs.
"These itinerant merchant
truckers also ruined the value

broke the price of our standard

graded lettuce in the field here

ADEQUATE FACILITIES

NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-About
10000 persons in the nation are
partly or wholly crippled by the
ravages of infantile paralysis and
most. of them could be greatly
benefited if adequate facilities ex-
isted, according to statement by
President Roosevelt.
To help provide those adequate
facilities Birthday Ball in honor
of President Roosevelt will be

nation on January 80, the pro-
ceeds to create a permanent en-
downent for nationwide work by
the Warm Springs Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis.
The Presidents Statement
President Roosevelt said in his
statement:
SIN spite of the great strides OF
medical science and the many
generous gifts to preventive medi-
cine, comparatively little has been
accomplished in helping to restore
to active and useful citizenship
the. more than 100000 people IN
America who are partly or wholly
crippled. About half of this num-
Der are victims of Infantile Pa
raiysis. Most of them could be
greatly benefited If adequate IA
cilities existed.
MANY of the leading ortho-
paedic surgeons have come to
recognize the growing Importance
of physiotherapy, especially when
these directed exercises are given
in the medium of water. Certain
ly the results obtained so far at
Georgia Warm Springs prove the
value of warm water treatment.
Plans For The Future
placing the Georgia Warm

more patients there, but eventual
ly the establishment of similar CEN
tiers in many other sections of the
country.
