VALUE OF FARM
LANDS GOES UP
increases Are General Through
out Country, Says Fed
eraI Bureau.
ABOUT 81 PER ACRE PER YEAR
Estimates Based Upon Reports From
Crop Reporters Show Few Ex-
ceptions in General Upward
Trend in Rural Districts.

Washington. value of farm
lands of the United States, without I'M
provements, Is estimated at $45.55 per
acre, as compared with $40.85 year
ago, $40.31 two years ago, $3.50 three
years ago, and $36.23 four years ago.
The census reported the value of farm
lands in 1910 as $32.40, and in 1900 as
1857 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-
ton in the Southern cotton states fol-
lowing a temporary depression last
year, and partly by the stimulus given
by the war to prices, particularly of
grain.
Increases have been general
throughout the United States, the only
noteworthy exceptions being orchard
lands and some irrigated lands in the
Northwest, which apparently had been
-overvalued before.
The percentage increases in value
of farm lands in the past year by Sec
lions of the United States are: North
Atlantic states, 10 per cent; eastern
part of north central states, per
cent; western part of north central
states, IL per cent; South Atlantic
states, - per cent; south central
states, IL per cent; far Western states,
IL per cent; entire United States. Ills
per cent.
The percentage increases in farm
land values in four years. that is,
since 1912, are; North Atlantic states,
IL per cent; eastern part of north CEN
trail states, 20 per cent; western part
of north central states, % per cent;
South Atlantic states, % per cent;
south central states, % per cent; far
Western states. "a per cent; entire
United States, 25.7 per cent.
These estimates are based upon re-
ports from crop reporters of the bu-
reau of crop estimates.

TELEPHONE FOR
FOREST RANGERS
TWo-and- -HaIf-Pound lnstru'
ment Part of Their Regu-
lar Equipment.
USEFUL IN REPORTING fires
PatroImen Can Tap Forest Service
Telephone Lines and Quickly Get
In Touch With Headquarters
Of Supervisor

Washington.-A portable telephone,
made of aluminium and weighing 2A
pounds, the invention of a forest
officer, R. B. Adams of Missoula, Mont,
will be part of the regular equipment
of patrolmen on the national forests
the coming field season. This instru-
ment is regarded as a great improve
ment over the set formerly used, which
weighed ten pounds.
It is said that a fieldman equipped
with this telephone, a few yards OF
light emergency wire, and short
piece Of heavy wire to make the
ground connection can cut in any
where along the more than 2O,Ooo
miles of forest service telephone lines
and get in touch with the headquar'
tiers of a supervisor or district ranger.
To talk, one end of the emergency
wire is thrown over the telephone line.
the two ends are connected to the
portable instrument, and the 1nstru-
ment is connected to the ground wire,
the end of which must be thrust into
the damp earth or in water. Contact
with the live wire is made possible by
removal of the insulation from a few
inches of the emergency wire.
The Adams instrument does not
ring the bell of the receiving tele'
phone, but instead causes a screech-
ing sound from a small megaphone-
shaped apparatus descriptively known
as a "howler." This instrument is IL
stalled at the ranger station telephone
and is said to give effective notice that
someone is on the wire. If the field
man needs to talk with someone else
where on the line, the ranger station
instrument can be used to ring up the
person wanted, when the conversation
can be carried on.
Forest officers say that these port
able phones are especially valuable in
reporting fires and other emergencies
with the least possible delay, and also
in sending instructions to fieldmen
and keeping the district rangers In
formed as to the progress of work go
ing on in the field, thus supplementlng
the regular telephone sets installed
at lookout points, ranger stations, and
at convenient intervals along forest
service roads and trails.

BOY, 10, CHURCH ORGANISE
Young Musician Is Master of Difficult
Selections Plays All Sorts of
High-CIass Music.

Centralia, Kan.-Centralia people de-
clare the town has the youngest
church organist in the state. and prob
ably the only boy organist. Edward Ev-
erett is only thirteen years old. and
when In his knee-pant suit he walks
UP into the choir gallery on Sunday
mornings, strangers might think he
was going to pump the church organ
or maybe sing in a .children's chorus,
but would never suspect he was the
church organist for a real grown-up
choir, including music supervisors and
teachers.
And when he gets on the bench at
the organ you cannot see even the
top of his head, so the music gives
one the impression of coming from the
organ without any assistance. When
the services are over and Edward
walks out, strangers are astonished.
He shirks none of the regular pro-
gram of the services, but plays volun-
taries and anthems as well as the
hymns, and chooses difficult. high-class
music.

while coming to Sheyboygan found a
