.'11.' I1'" report was prepared
u.iar tj gujK-rvision of John Lee
Cou'ter expert s-pecial ag'-nt for agri-
culture. The tr.tJtl number of farms in the
t 1 1" l .i'-s u.rated by their own-
ers which ere mortgaged in 1910 is
;.?! o 2i-I-S;; were report-
i 1 as l.cm mortgage. Thesi fig-
u'i-s show an increase since 59"'.) of
IT 7 i'cr cent in the number of farms
!"ur 1. i'i 1 of 4.4 per cent in the
i .p'tr if f.i ts free from mortgage.
The i'1-i'ort will s'aow that 5S.I04 farms
w re OiMi"l by managers a de-crea.-"
of 1.7 per cent since U0 and
. . i 7 G fans were operated by ten-
' ani an increase of 16.3 per cent since
! ' So s'a' -'irs pertaining to mort-!
gas.'e indebtedness weie secured for
farms operated by tenants or hired
managers. It would be practically im-
possible in many cases to reach - the
owners of such farms to ascertain the
facts.
Land Values Increased.
The toti'l value of the land and
buildings of the .101'6:11 farms for
which both the fact of mortgage in-
debtedness and its amounts were re-
ported was $6330.M-0Ol.iO and the
amount of debt was $1720000000 or
27.3 per cent Of the value. The corre-
sponding -proportion in 1810 as shown
in the rejwts was 33.5 per cent. There
was thus during the twenty years a
marked diminution in the relative im-
portance of mortgage debt "on the
farms 'mortgaged due primarily to the
very rapid increase in the value of
the land in farms. The average amount
of mortgage indebtedness per farm in-
creased from 34 44 to $i;2S9 and there-
fore the owner's equity per farm in-
creased from $2220 to J 1574 or more
than double.
The statistics with reference to the
number of farms mortgaged for the
past three censuses are not precisely
corauarablo although nearly so.. At
the census ci' 1 11 0 questions as to
mortgage debt applied to all farms op-
erated by owners while at the two
preceding censuses they applied only
to the smaller class of "owned farm
homes;" those farms occupied by their
c.vi:-T3 rs homes.
Mortgages and Prosperity.
in maklag corowrtcs between geo-
graphic divisions and between cen-
suses it should be borne in mind that
the fact of mongaee indebtedness is
not necessarily an indication of iaes
of prosperity. There can be no ques
tion but that American farmers pen-
eraiiy were more prosperous in K'lu.
than at the two previous censuses and
yet in that year a larger proportion
of the farms were mortgaged. The
proportion of mortgaged indebtedness
is higher in Iowa and Wisconsin than
in any cf the other states and yet
these states are among the most pros
perous in agriculture. Aitnougn in
seme cases mortgages are placed on
farms because of poor crops or other
misfortunes or because of mismanag1!-
ment. they often represent an unpaid
portion of the cost of the farm itself
or money expended for additional land
or for 'buildings and Implements and
machinery and live stock.
In the United States as a whole the
number of farms or farm homes oper-
ated or occupied by their owners
which were free from mortgage In-
creased l.-ss rapidly di'ing each of
the two last census decades than the
number mortgaged. The proportion
mortgaged was .28.2 per cent In 1SS0
31.1 per cent in 1 300 a?d 33.C per cent
in 1910. In 1910 the proportion of
owned farms mortgaged was highest
(40.1 per cent) in the west north ceu-
tral; the lowest proportion (IS. 8 per
cent( 22.7 per cent and 20.6 per cent
respectively) in the South Atlantic
cast soutn central anu mountain oivis-
ions.
In every geographic division except
the middle Atlantic the proportion of
farms mortgaged was greater in 1010
than in 1900 and in every division ex-
cept the west north central the pro-
portion was greater in 1910 than in
1800. The most conspicuous increase
in proportion of farms mortgaged has
been in the three southern divisions.
In !!) there was no vry great!
difference among the several geo-
graphic divisions with respect to the
ratio of indebtedness to the value of
land and buildings the highest ratio
being 31.5 per cent in the middle At-
latnic division and the lowest 23.4 per
cent in the Pacific division. In every
division the ratio of indebtedness to
value was materially lower in 1910
than In 1S00.

Oyster Bay Oct. 23. After a good
sleep Roosevelt awake in good spirits
this morning. No visitors will be ad
mitted to see him until Thursday.
Four physicians were with the col
onel on his arrive! at Oyster Bay yes-
terday and after they had dressed his
wound they told him that the one cs-
seii'ial thing was complete rest.
After examining the patient they
said the :ound was still wide open
spoke of the possibility of infection
and added they were unable to say
whether It would be possible for him
to take up the work of the campaign
aga-n.
Col. Roosevelt said when his wound
had been dressed that there was no
longer the need of constant supervis
ion of physicians because he was "all
alone but concluded It would be the
wisest to accede to bis wishes. They
all went to New York last evening
and said they would not returu until
this afternoon.

onel calls his negro butler is acting as
nurse under the direction of Mrs
Roosevelt. Ho has been with the col

Washington Oct. 22. Although in
number the armies confronting each
other at the rebel infested iort of
Vera Cruz are considerably smaller
than those engaged in earlier battles
in the state of Chihuahua officials
here are inclined to believe the de-
cisive battle of the Mexican revolution
will be fought by these forces.
Tue state department is ignorant of
the number c' troops under command
of the federal general Beltran. Ameri-
can Consul General Canada is aware
of the strength of the Diaz defensive
forces but the state department de-
clines to divulge the information on
the ground that it would be unfair to'
do so. The impression prevails bow-
ever tiiat altogether about t'.oou regn-j
iarly organized troops will do battle j
providing an engagement is not avert-'
ed by the wholesale desertion of the j
regular troops to the Diaz Btandard.j
While no instructions bearing onj
the point have been given to Capt.
Hughes the'Ainerican naval command-
er at Vera Cruz the stale and navy
departments tacitly have given their
approval to the measures he has taken
for the safety of foreigners as well
as the injunction laid down by him
ou the federal commander of the Mex-
right. The physicians were doubtful j 'tan gunboats iu the harbor to re-
at first whether he should be left irain irom uoiiiorument.
There is said to be an ample prece-
dent for this iast action on the part
of Capt. Hughes though there is rea-
son to apprehend a vigorous protest
from the Mad. ro government against
what it in .iy regard as an interfer
ence in its military operations calcu-i
laud to defeat tb well iaid plans ijrj

something worth having. They
don't speak that way about the
