DEMAND FOR FARMS.
Piedmont Section Dealers Report
Unprecedented Calls.

LYNCHBURG, Va, August 2.-Lo-
cal real estate agents here report an
unprecedented demand for farms In
the Piedmont section and especially
for property which lies contiguous
to Lynchburg. This is despite the fact
that there is no longer many inquiries
from western farmers who would
come east. Some of the dealers claim
the transfers this year will double
those of last year, and at prices rang
ing from $50 to 5000 an acre. Further
increase in prices are expected as
soon as projected road Improvement
programs in the counties about
Lynchburg advance.
Strange to say, most of the buyers
are farmers from nearby counties
who are selling tobacco plantations
and are buying smaller places con-
tiguous to the city to make their
homes in the future. The demand for
small farms has induced many own
ers of large plantations to divide
their places before offering them for
sale. The general maximum demand
now is for places with a maximum
of arabic land and fifty acres lin
woodland or pasture.

FIRST DRY MONTH;
FEWER ACCIDENTS
Baltimore Authorities Also
Have Reduced Number
of Arrests.


3 BALTIMORE, August s.-What ef-
feet has prohibition on accidents?
Has the advent of the dry era meant
a falling off in the number of daily
casualties and was the demise Of the
demon rum accompanied by de-
crease in the number of mishaps
which befell workmen, pedestrians
and others?
These questions have suggested
themselves to students of statistics.
They never have been answered in
Maryland, for the reason that prohibit
ton in this state was never tried out
before July I, 1919.
Figures compiled this week for the
first month of the arid period indi-
cate that fewer persons have met with
accidents since July 1 than when
liquor was available.
