LAND CHANGES IN ENGLAND.

In single issue of single newspaper in
London lately farms were advertised for sale,
the aggregate area of which exceeded fifty
square miles The vast estates are breaking up.
The huge land holdings of titled owners, some
of which have been in their families for CEN
turtles, are now on the market because the war
taxes are so great that few people can afford
to hold land which is not under intensive cult
walton. The ancestral Entertainments of the old
ristocracy-furniture, paintings, tapestry,
rugs, statuary and other'long treasured ar
ticles, are also coming under the hammer and
passing into stranger hands. The farms are
bringing good prices or what are so considered
in England. Many eighty-acre tracts with good
buildings have brought from eighteen thousand
TO twenty-one thousand dollars, tenants being
given the preference as purchasers. England
has also her share of war millionaires who are
buving real estate for the distinction landed
possessions give them; but feudal England
with its vast estates will soon give place to
modern England with its many farms owned by
many people.

DALLAS, Texas, Oct. 29.-The Y.

the Texas Poultry, Butter and Egg
association, to help win the war by
refraining from dressing any turkeys
for shipment outside the state OF
Texas before December l "by which
time the birds will have matured ano
will carry a much greater amount OF
flesh.
The Texas association already had
passed a resolution to the enect that
no turkeys should be dressed in Texas
and the southwest until after Noyem'
Der Is and then only hen turkeys
weighing more than six pounds and
tom turkeys weighing more than ten
pounds.
Turkey dealers were not prepared
to say today how the association
would act on the food administration
request. However, there was little
doubt but that the dealers would DO
their bit,' by agreeing not to dress
turkeys for shipment until after De-
cember /.
IF this request is general through
out the country and if dealers in gen.
eral agree to it," one dealer explained
