KANSAS COMMENT



Lands are advancing in price no
where as in the farming regions of this
country so rapidly as in the corn belt.
1t is a limited area and cannot be pro-
htably extended north or south of GER
tain ATTITUDES. It is unlike the other
great cereal, wheat, as that can be
grown in nearly every zone around the
world. Enough wheat land can be
found on this continent to bread the
world, but the central regions of United
States have pretty nearly q monopoly
of corn. The uses for it are increasing,
and the consumption is likely to more
than keep pace with production. The
crop this year is estimated at the vast
total of 200, 900 600 bushels. That is an
amount to be spoken of but not IN
derstoOd. 1t breaks the record. Rookie
Teller couldn't buy it all with all the
capital he controls. It is the climax
of series of good crops. yet the mar
ket is close to 40 cents a bushel and
more likely to advance than to recede.
This corn business accounts for the rise
in land, and it is likely to continue

With a carpet
Green and gold,
And with colors
Manifold.
Green and gold
And heliotrope;
And across

Comes the calling
OF the lark,
From the early
Morn till dark.
Harvest time:
And down the way
Comes the creaking
Loads of hay;
Comes the corn
And cotton, too,

And now the tune,
Now the Jig
And rigadoon,
Holds the boards:

Come the time

An Irish Farmers Experience.

An actual case of purchase is as fol-
lows: A small farmer lived upon a
tract of 1914 acres of land in County
Tipperary, a good agricultural sec
ton. For some years past he had
been paying to the landlord an annual
rent of f6 12s., or about $33. He
wished to purchase the land. and it
was offered to him by the landlord for
ESQ or about $3.50. He made the nee
essary anplication to the authorities,
borrowed the money from the govern
ment, and paid the landlord for the
place, gaining from him a deed in fee
simple. The government retained
what might be termed a mortgage
upon the place, which is to be released
at the expiration of forty yearly pay
ments of "A As, or about S21. In
forty years from 1904 the purchaser
will have paid to the government about
$40 for his farm. He began also to
pay taxes upon the place as soon as it
was listed in his name. His first years
taxes amounted to 26s., or about $3.50.
This amount may be increased or di-
ninished according to the valuation
put upon the property and the rate of
taxation adopted from year to year
