FARMERS' DEBT TREND HEALTHY Mortgage Situation Is Much Better Than After War 1 An Important indication of the current financial strength of the nation's farmers as a whole and the prudence with which they have handled their record incomes of recent years is found in the trend of farm mortgage debt in the past war and postwar period. The current position takes on added importance since it is in such marked contrast with the corresponding trend during the first World War period and the three ensuing years. A finan cially strong agriculture is of the utmost significance to the nation's economy since agricul tural distress has played a ma jor role in past depressions. Figures compiled by the U. S. Department of Agriculture show that farm mortgage debt went down consistently during the entire period of the past war, dropping from $6,586 millions at the end of 1939 to $4,682 mil lions at the end of 1945, a de cline of 29 per cent. The 1945 farm mortgage debt figure was the lowest in 33 years. In the last three years the trend has been upward, but the gain for this period has been only $426 millions, or 9.1 per cent. Thus in the last war and postwar period, from 1940 through 1948, farm mortgage debt showed a net reduction of $1,478 millions, or 22 per cent. The corresponding period in the first World War, covering the war itself and the three postwar years, runs from 1915 to 1921, inclusive. Farm mort gage debt rose sharply through out this period.

In the following three years the total farm mort gage debt jumped to $10,703 mil lions, a gain of $3,365 millions or 50 per cent.
