One of the incidents Of the late finan-
rial panic is the firmness with which
LAND values have passed through a ma
tional crisis. In other paics Of 1857
1878 and 1898 prices Of real estate de
clined both In rural districts and great
cities. Prices for farm products ruled
lower, rents reacted and he earning
ability of real estate investments de-
clined.
While industrial investments Stow
largely decreased earnings for the past
eighteen months, the income from ag-
ricultural lands has enlarged through
increased production and higher prices
for farm products. There has been a
larger migration from the cities to the
country of people out Of employment
who had formerly worked at Industrial
production. The weakness Of skilled
professions as compared with hus-
bandry is evidenced by the great army
Of unemployed that is compelled to &C
cept enforced idleness through the dull
ness of Industrial enterprises.
The independence insured by the
ownership Of country homes n the
certainty of living incomes from small
farms Is turning the attention Of many
Inhabitants Of cities to the advantages
Of farm life as compared to the uncer
tainty Of employment in great cities.
he demand for small holdings Is
breaking up the big ranches and sparse
ly settled districts are becoming ran
idly dcnsely populated by immigrants
and energetic people who are striving
for an independent living.
The vast areas hat are being 70
claimed by irrigation are being sub.
divided into small farms and will be
operated under a system OF scientific
cultivation. Rev. Mr.. Dedrich has set
the example Of what can be achieved
on a small farm by purchasing fifteen

| thousand dollars near Philadelphia. and
! operating the small farm with a dairy
He l%iuuidated the mortgage from the
income of the fifteen acres, and demon

Farm lands are steadily advancing
in value. There is no method to en-
large the area of farm land except by
