Heart Disease Takes
Increasing Toll in
Older Age Groups
Mortality Rate Drops
Sharply in Lower
Brackets, Census Shows

Although the mortality rate
among persons under IS years of
age has been declining, increasing
fatalities among those in the older
brackets have more than doubled
the death rate from heart disease
during the last 40 years, the Gen.
sus Bureau reported today.
Heart disease-the greatest single
cause of death-claimed 385, ,191
victims in 1910, or at the rate of
1925 per 100000 population. This
was the largest number of deaths
recorded from heart disease in any
year. The death rate in 1899 was
275,5 per cent 100000 population.
The following comparison be-
tween 1900 and 1910 shows the
sharp decrease in death rates in
tho lou age brackets.

Wheeler mentioned present restric-

hundreds Of thousands Of dollars to

Americans could go into Canada

INITIATION TREND
IN VESTS FARM
LANDS REVEALED
GENERAL AGENT OF FARM CREDIT
ADMINISTRATION ISSUES
WARNING

Initiation in farm real estate may
be Just around the corner in the Pa
cific northwest, r. E. Brown, general
agent of the farm credit administra-
ton of Spokane, warned recently, or
the basis Of a survey of present farm
sales prices.
Average farm sales figures in Mon
tana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon
In the last three months Of 1871 were
10 percent higher than In the same
period of 1910, Brown reported. These
increases ranged from IS percent In
northeastern Montana to percent IN
southeastern Idaho.
The increase in northeastern Mon
tana reflects a natural rebound from
distressed levels of past years" Brown
said. "For the district as a whole, In
Guiding Montana, the increases which
have occurred to date have not
brought prices to an inflationary level
vet. but the tendency toward initiation
is present in the trend. Unless prices
are held at or near present levels, in
flation will result"
The survey upon which Browns
warning was based was conducted by
farm credits research department..
This survey also showed:
l. Farm sales in the last quarter OF
I941 were % percent greater than in
the same period Of 1910. Greatest &C
tivity was noted in western Washing
ton, where the gain was So percent;
in central Washington and northeast
ern Montana, where the gain was 80
percent, and in western oregon, where
farm sales jumped Is percent. None OF
the IS areas into which the four states
were broken down for the study showed
increased sales of less than 10 percent.
2. There is no particular bidding for
farm lands by spectators as yet ap-
parent in the market; however, ii per-
cent of sales reported were made to
investors.
3. More than two-thirds of all sales
reported were made to present farm
operators in the areas where sales
took place. Twenty-Five percent Of the
farms they bought viii be consolidated
with present holdings. Distant buyers
were most active in coast areas, IN
northeastern washington and north
central Idaho.
4. Corporations, retiring farmers and
active farmers each accounted for APP
proximately one-fourth of all sales.
The remainder was sold by estates,
individuals other than farmers, and
others. In all parts of Montana ex-
cept western Montana, corporation
sales accounted for approximately so
percent of farms sold. Sales by active
farmers were believed to reflect in part
a substantial movement from farms to
defense industries in cities.
S. While figures on sales to tenants
were not obtained, the record of the
Federal Land bank of Spokane for the
entire year of l941 was cited. OF LOTS
properties disposed Of during the II
months, ISL were sold to tenants or to
former owners or their relatives.
