The mortgage •n his farm bears interest at the rate of 0/L Last year he had a good crop and sent $4000 to the mortgage company with the re­quest that it b© applied on the principal, as he desired to settle with them for the interest later. After much correspondence the mortgage company returned the cheque. A year has passed and payment has never been made, so that there is no doubt what­ever but what our oountry would be much better off without insurance and mortgage companies.
