The second generation has come to
the fore, aud is taking part in the bust

what it can produce, and Just how
valuable il is for the purpose of pro-
duction and for home.
Here and there is one who declares
that tho expansion of prices and in
coming Of immigration is beyond the
limits of business safety. IL is pointed
out that land is selling in places for
prices In excess of any possibility of
paving interest from tho products of
the fields But there are other things
that make land valuable and desirable
besides wheat and corn. Conveniences
