Higher Prices for Vermont Farms

Various cities in tho Eastern States are
complaining ON account of the extent to
which some of their citizens are coming to
vermont and investing capital in attrac-
tive farming lands for the purpose Of es-
tablishing country homes. At first sight
this might appear to be a complaint hav-
ing very little basis; hut if each county in
Vermont were to be canVasscd, many p o.
pie would be surprised at the large aggre-
gate of capital that would be found to
have been spent within our borders in this
manner by people of wealth from other
States.
Eastern cities are not alone. however IN
thus contributing to the rapidly increas-
ing demand for good farming lands in the
Green Mountain State. Conditions have
changed 10 such an extent IN many parts
OF tho West that farmers from that Sec
ton are returning to the New England
and Middle States for the purpose of Sc
curing land finding the opportunity TOR
profitable investment at existing prices
moro favorable here than beyond the Mis-
sissippi.
Nj. G. s. Isham Of Burlington, who has
been travelling on business in various
parts Of Iowa for several months, says
land there is so high that he knows OF
farmers who have returned to the East.
while others will follow their cXaml lc.
Farmers there are receiving seventy cents

for freight and other products are hiGh in

to that position so far as the southern part

Representative Horace +. Graham of
Craftsbury and Hon. Horace w. Bailey of
