That Is Grand Total Realized
by Messrs. Davies and
Day Since Opening Of
Sale on May 81.

Several hundred lots were sold yes
terday al the afternoon and evening ses-
sions of the Morris Park sale. which IS
being held 10y Joseph p. DAY and j. Ciar-
ence Davies in the clubhouse Of the for.
mer racecourse. Prices were away below
the market worth of the lots. as csti-
mated by many experts
When Auctioneer Day stepped down
from the stand last night the total num-
Der OF lots sold since the opening day,
May 81. was considerably over two thou
sand. and the sum realized for them was
about So50Cd0.
The majority Of properties so far sold
has been secured by small buyers Tho
sale will be continued tomorrow. and
will last until every one Of the 3,0l9 lots
comprising the Morris Park development
has been knocked down to the highest
bidder.
This is widely recognized as the day
when one dollar has almost the pu'chas-
ing power Of two dollars in the vacant
lot market. Briefly. it is the day Of
golden realty opportunities.
At the close of last nights session J.
Clarence Davies and Joseph 2. Day issued
the following statement regarding the
sale:
We feel that the prediction that the
offering Of 3Ms lots az auction at one
time would result in bargain prices has
been abundantly fulfilled The State
Banking Department recognized this Ger
talnty before giving its approval to the
sale, and in making its estimates as 10
what amount the sale might be expected
10 realize due allowance was made for IT,
but even these estimates have proved TO
be far too high.
"A few specific instances ought 10 be
sufficient TO convince any one familiar
with real estate prices and conditions in
this city that these lots have been selling
al far below their real value.

possible to buy for 500 or $500 each lots

While the prices have been a decided
disappointment TO everybody connected
with the sale. except probably the buyers.
the sale has developed not few crafty
ing features.
"One Of these has been the demonstra-
ton of buying power on the part Of the
public when il has before il an Offering

that prices are 10 be determined solely
10y omen, honest bidding. This is specially
significant. coming as il does Al a time
when the lack OF buyers is the almost
universal complaint of real estate brokers
and operators.
Another important development has
been the number Of out of town buyers.
These have come from almost every East
ern city Of prominence from Boston TO
Norfolk and from as far West as Chi
cago The surely favorable outcome Of
these investments in Morris Park cannot
but broaden the interest in New York
real estate and add materially to its sup
port from other parts OF the country in
the future.
In seeking an explanation Of the low
scale of prices which has prevailed at the
sale there is another important factor 70
ne considered that is the unwillingness
Of the Banking Department to give its
sanction to anything except the most mat
ter Of fact announcements concerning this
property. Without appearing TO critcise
this attitude, il is nevertheless a fact that
this conservatism has been more than
protection 10 buyers-it has actually put
large profits in their pockets. The ma
jority of Morris Park buyers really do not
appreciate and will not appreciate until
they see the changes that the next two or
three years will bring about the true
value Of this property"

The Kelsey women are profession

White River country they were en-
ployed in Miller County. Missouri.
The men folk in the family are also

Keeping Up The MILK Flow.

Keeping Up The Milk Flow.
The amonnt OF cream sold by
Missouri farmers has diminished
about one third during the last three
weeks. This DECREASE is largely due
TO the recent severe drouih that has
dried up the pastures. Only those
COWS that have received some feed
besides pasture grass have kept up.
usual milk flow. The farmer who
allows his cows to hustle for them
selves on the parched pastures is max
ing mistake. Not only is it hard on
the pastures bu, it is false economy to
allow the cows to drop off in milk
yield IN order to save a few dollars
on the feed bill. The grass, especial
ly the bluegrass, must get its new
growth from the roots, and if it is to
make the best growth possible and
produce the largest amount. of feed
it must be allowed to get a fair start.
Grass grows much more rapidly after
it is up couple of inches than when
it is closely cropped. BY observing
this point favorable weather condi-
tions will result in good late pAstures.
In order to take advantage OF these
good late pastures and to profit by
the higher price OF bu,terfat which is
paid in the fall and winter the milk
yield Of the cows must be kept up,
for if it is allowed to drop off j, can
never be regained. Money spent for
feed that does not return prof,
now will do so later.
What to feed for this purpose will
Of course depend upon the kind OF
feed that is at hand. II possible, the
feed should be succulent and che ap,
If not it will probably be profitable
to feed the higher priced dry feeds.
as grain and hay in order to maintain
the yield. The green feeds which are
usually used for this purpose, sor.
ghum and corn, are not to be haC
this year because the drouth came Sc
very early. But where a green feed
is availale it should be fed. For tn,
farmer who is lucky enough or wis'

FRIENDS RAISE
EXTRA MONEY
TO KEEP SPAID

It was learned today that a move
ment was started a few days ago to
increase the salary Of Arthur r. spaid
as county superintendent Of schools
by popular subscriptions from $1,000
to $4,000 a year, to try to assure his
continuance in the office. He already
had sent his resignation to Governor
Miller on the ground that the salary
of the office was not sufficient to meet
the needs Of himself and family.
Within two days $500 had been
pledged by different subscribers TO be
added TO the $1,000 salary paid by the
state TO Mr. Spaid as county superin-
tendent Of schools. When he learned
that the move was under way TO In
crease his salary TO $4,000 a year. Mr..
Spaid informed some OF his friends
who we're interested in the movement
that he could not continue as county
superintendent here as he had been
elected to and had accepted the posi-
tion of county superintendent Of
schools In Dorchester county,
Maryland, and he said he
intended to go there on August /.
He had accepted the new place and
felt in honor bound to go there. Mr..
Spaid when asked about the move to
increase his salary, here today admit
ted that he had heard of it but he de-
clined to discuss It. He said he
expects to take up his new work In
Dorchester county on August /.
