In Michigan the data thus far returned are only partial, but the com- missioner estimates the total assessed value of the farms of that State at §335,- 000,000, and the mortgaged indebted- ness at $64,000,000, with an annual in- terest of nearly $5,000,000. In Illinois the aggregate value of the mortgages on lands and farms is §142,400,000; the annual interest is $4,919,000, The total number of acres of entumbered land in Illinois is 8,082,704 in a total acreage of 84,081,180.
