Advertising Signs Depreciate
 pr0pertv Value

William Ordway Partridge, the not ed sculptor of New York, who is spending the summer on his South Woodstock place, is greatly opposed to the placing of advertising signs on real estate property in rural communities. In speaking of the matter Mir. Part ridge said, "As an artist l wage war upon the hideous advertisements which disfgure our farms. The fsrm- CT is beginning to appreciate the fact that beauty is an asset. No modern city man will purchase an agly place. It must have charm as we'll as useful features of farm, Tn fact. The New England farm is fast becoming an es- tate. 1 have known many farms to double in value 6y transformation from an ugly, ill-kept place to sight ly estate with charm and beauty"
 The following article from the Chris tian Science Monitor along these lines will be of interest:
 Advertising matter. that is intend- ed primarily to reach the farmer is rapidly disappearing from the Ameri- can countryside, according to a writer in the Breeders Gazette, progressive agricultural periodical. The farmer is reached in these days by vendors of commodities Tn other ways. The ru- ral delivery postal system brings him circulars, catalogues, magazines, and, of course, his regular daily newspaper. He is bountifuIly supplied with advef- Using matter in general than ever be- fore, and, we believe 1t may truly be said, by a better kind of advertising matter.
 But there is another and an even more satisfactory explanation for the decline of the rural roadside advertise ment. The American farmer has grown out of toleration of it. The writer referred to is right, we think, in saying that the farmer is coming to value the beauty about him and to see in the countryside something more tudu d slbc iOi DliiDOdiu Stdhuo' iiC To no longer willing, as rule, to have his barn roof, his fences, his gates, or even the fine old tree in front of his farm converted into cheap advertis. ing agency.
 This is the best part of it. Laws for the prevention of the disfigurement of nature, to say the least, are difficult of enforcement in democratic nation. If the American farmer is set on encour- aging those who plaster the country districts with advertising signs, it Is difficult to see how he can be moved by law from the error of his way. Le- gally, he has right to use the roof of his barn or the front of hIs home as a billboard. Not much is gained by threatening him. He is seldom intim- dated into doing anything he does not wish to do. But if he is learning to respect nature, to appreciate the simple grandeur of rural scenery, to see that he has no moral right to permit the distigurement of his land even though he hold it in fee simple, then the fight against the wayside advertiser is as good as won.p

favorable American development at the
moment is the Searles lake basin of Cal
ifornia. Experimentation has now pro-
crossed to the point where experts are
all hut positive that potash salts can ne
produced for under $40 per ton. This
means potash salts comparing favora bly,
