GROWTH OF LONG ISLAND
Vast Sum Spent by Railroad a
Large Factor.

Inc greatly increased trafic on the Long
isiand Railroad, the figures about which
were recently published, is accompanied by
d real estate movement in Nassau and Suf-
Ioik counties that is steady and secure and
lacks all features of the spectacular Four
years ago 1t was thought there was no
ACTIVITY In Long Island real estate unless
the boom features were visible, and the
circumstance was caused principally by the
tact that the first effects of the movement
OF real estate there, in 1904 had not disap-
peared from the public mind. With the
steady upbuilding and improvement Of the
Long Island Railroad system, however,
came substantial improvement in prop
erty values generally and a consequent in
lux of better class of investors and new
residents. Growth feeds on improvements
as well as on growth. The investing public
became convinced that IL the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company deemed It worth while
to invest 100000 in railroad betterments
on Long Island that it was worth while for
the public TO take advantage of the real
estate opportunities that would naturally
follow. The conservatism of the railroad
company in announcing the scope Of its
projected plans intensified the confidence
that was aroused. In other words, the in
vesting public saw something tangible for
Long Island. whereas for a generation pre-
viously no direct access between Long ISL
and and Manhattan seemed possible OF re-
alization.
Bridges and tunnels had been preached
and dreamed of for Long Island but the
coming Of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany into the territory convinced thousands
Of persons with money to invest in real
estate that large need of performance
as we'll as of promise was to be rendered;
and It was, to the extent that the Atlantic
avenue improvement In Brooklyn east to
Jamaica was established. an electric train
service between Manhattan and Jamaica
was established. the Identification Of the
main line from Jamaica to Floral Park,
Hampstead and neighboring places was
created. the double tracking Of the Oyster
Bay branch was done, the service on the
Montauk division to such important CEN
tres as Valley Stream, Lynbrook and
Rockville Centre was vastly improved and
the Long Beach division was double
tracked and electrified, thus opening TO
easy occupancy such places as Oceanside,
East Rockaway and Long Beach The
ocean front Of Nassau County is now
reached as easily as Brighton Beach and
Manhattan Beach and is susceptible Of still
further Improvement.

Sales Of dwelling houses to homeseekers
formed the larger part of the volume OF
business transacted in Brooklyn in the
first six months Of the year. There were
many more structures Of this class sofa
from January TO July than In the cor
responding period Of the previous year.

for the big increase in dwelling house
projects in the early and late spring.

RURAL DELIVERY OF EDU.
CATION

The splendid results which have
attended the extension into remote
parts of the various states OF the
instructional opportunities offered
by the state agricultural colleges
have convinced the leaders in agri-
cultural education that the next
great step Is to promote this work
by a federal law. A bill ia now in
the hands of the Committee on Ag-
riculture OF Congress Oh. D., 1S16O)
which provides for the establish
ment OF an agricultural extension
department In connection with each
of the agricultural colleges. making
an annual appropriation of $4,000
for each for immediate use and ad-
ditional sums in later years on con-
dition that each state aid in the sup
port of the work.
This measure has had unquali-
fled support OF the leading -eachers
of agriculture and representatives
Of farmers organizations through
out the country. The fact has been
emphasized that this is essentially
an investment rather than an out
right expenditure. 1t Is the third
stage in the development of Ameri-
can agricultural education. The
first was the Morrill, Act OF 1862,
establishing the agricultural col
leges; and the second. the Hatch
Act OF 1887, establishing the ex-
pertinent stations. The proposed
law will, by establishing q regular
extension service, furnish the con-
