Most Farms Are Mortgage FreeTabulationShows
One - Fifth Of
South’s Farms
Are Mortgaged
Southern Magazine Compiles Statistics
Of Farm Moragages
Total Value Of Southern Farms Wilt
Exceed Ten Billion Dollars
While Existing Mortgages Only Ap
proximate Two Billions Dollars
The Southern Agriculturist, wide
ly circulated farm paper of the south
says that we are talking entirely toe
much about what we have lost, and
too little about what we have. South
ern farmers are not bankrupt. The
farms of the overwhelming majority
of southern farmers are absolutely
free from any sort of mortgage. ^
According to the census of 1931,
403,203 southern farms carried some
sort of mortgage. But 799,320 south
ern farms were mortgage free.
Doubtless a very large number of the
farmers whose farms are mortgaged
are not seriously handicapped by the
mortgages. In many cases, perhaps
the owner is within one or two or
three payments of freedom. The mor
tgage represents progress when it
means that a hard-working, thrifty
farmer is paying for his farm on the
installment plan, and we may be sure
that many of these mortgages are of
this nature.
The total value of southern farms
is $10,670,614,051. The total amount
of mortgaged indebtedness of south
ern farms is only about six per cent
of their value.
The total value of the farms mort
gaged is $1,847,525,895. This jaeans
that the mortgaged farms are carry
ing on an average of a mortgage of
35 per cent of the value of the farms.
The value of the unmortgaged
farms of the Southern States is $8,
823,088,156. This means that only a
little more than one-fifth of the farm
land of the South in value is under
any sort of mortgage.
Almost one-third of the farm-mor
tgage indebtedness of the South is in
Texas.

Reading, Writing—and Jelly Making |
Camp Fire Girls Making a Batch of Jelly for the Crowd.
rpHE joys of camp life—as Camp
-*■ Fire Girls know them—take in
many activities. “Roughing” it in
the out-of-doors, playing games with
the crowd, writing letters home—
and reading letters from home—are
part of them. But there are other
things, too, which come under the
head of joys.
The work of the camp, for ex

expert instructors, to take care of
themselves, and to do worth-while,

In one of their biggest camps, at
Lake Cohasset, in Harriman Inter

make jam and jelly for the camp
pantry. Naturally, in camp, the
girls follow th© short-boil method
