Excerpt from State and Federal Marketing Activities and Other Economic Work, Vol. 18: January 5, 1938 A study of the changes in outstanding farm mortgage loans of lead ing lending agencies from 1930 to 1937, and of the growth in their ao quired farm holdings, was reported recently by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. Normal J. Wall, author of the report, stated that this 7-year period of rapid reduction in total farm mortgage indebtedness was marked by a continuous increase in the amount of assets held by lending agencies in the form of farm real estate. These farms were acquired through liquidation of loans by foreclosure or assignment of title to the mortgage holder.
