$13,600,000,000 in the red at the
start of 1952, the Bureau of Ag

in short-term and real estate
loans pushed total farm indebt
edness from $12,000,000,000 on

at the start of this year.

New Poultry Disease
To Receive Attention
Washington (U.R) The Agri
culture department plans to set
up a research program to "throw
more light" on the new poultry
disease, "air sac."
An announcement said that
department officials discussed
the newly-discovered respiratory
infection with poultry patholo
gists from seven states last
week. Several experts attended
the meeting, the department
said, and agreed to visit areas
in Delaware, Maryland, and
Georgia where "air sac disease"
Is most prevalent.
farmer borrows to buy cattle,
feed, or farm machinery.
The report said there was an
8 per cent gain in farm-mortgage
debts during the past year.
This was one of the largest per
centage increases since 1920.
BAE said mortgage indebtedness
rose in every state and hit a na
tional total of $6,299,576,000.
This increase lifted the farm
mortgage debt to near 1942 lev
els, BAE said, but left it still
well below the $10,785,621,000
peak hit on Jan. 1, 1923. BAE
said the value of mortgageable
property at the start of this year
was much higher than in either
of the two other high mortoage
years.
Soil Conservation
Payments Extended
Washington U.R) President
Truman signed a bill Monday
extending for two years the pres
ent program of direct federal
payments to farmers for certain
soil conservation practices.
Under the Soil Conservation
Act, the payment system was
supposed to switch next January
1 from direct federal payments
to federal grants in aid to the
states, which would in turn
make the payments to farmers.
Some states have not yet set up
machinery for handling the pay
ments! The bill would continue the
present system to Dec. 31, 1954,
so that all states could change
to the new system at the same
time.
