Farm Lands Increase In Value.

The value of farm lands OF the Unit
ed States Is estimated at $3.50 per
acre, as compared with s40.S5 year
ago, s4O.3l two years ago, $3.50 three
years ago and s36.23 four years ago.
The census reported the value Of
farm lands In 1910 as $50 40, and In
1900 as sl5.57 per acre.
In recent years the value OF farm
lands has been increasing at the rate
OF about per cent year. or approx
mately 81 per acre per year. The ex.
ceptional increase OF the past year
may be explained partly by the reac-
tion In the southern cotton states foi-
lowing temporary depression last
year, and partly by the stimulus given
by the war to prices, particularly Of
grain.

The stage Of ripeness at which fruits

be regulated by the season ms well ms
by the demands Of the market for

cool weather the fruit should be rlper
