for sale because of non-payment of taxes. Only Strafford County had less 

 than 10 per cent of its farms advertised. In Merrimack County taxes had 

 not been paid for 49 per cent of the farms by December 1, the due date. 

 Delinquency in Sullivan County, as of the dates from which interest was 

 charged, amounted to 38 per cent of the farms. The delinquency in these 

 latter two counties obviously does not indicate a proportionately greater 

 delinquency than the group of eight counties, but rather shows that a large 

 proportion of delinquent taxes are paid before advertising.
