Will Redwood
County Land
Boom Next Year!

The question as to whether or not
Redwood County land will go higher
or be lowered next year is the topic
that is being discussed by practically
every farmer. In this connection the
Karin Management department of the
United States at Washington has this
to say:
Certain temporary evil results of
speculation IN land are becoming ap-
parent. In the corn belt most sales
during the past six, months have III
volved the immediate payment of only
small per cent of the purchase price
at the time of sale, the remainder Of
the cash payment to be made on March
/ next, at which time the buyer is to
receive possession of the farm. Tn q
large number Of cases the farm sub
sequently is sold several times. As d
result no one knows who will be the
owner on March I, and tenants are
unable to make contracts for next
year Consequently, many tenants will
be unsettled and uncertain IN their
plans for the coming year.
ion the other hand, if the farm is
now occupied by the former owner,
he can make no plans for the farm and
is inclined to neglect the improve
ments and the preparation Of the
fields for next years crops.
The method Of selling the land
several times over with reference to-
settlement on March I, contains GER
tain elements of danger. The seller in
each case depends on the settlement
BY his buyer. The latter in turn be-
comes q seller and depends on the set
Element to be made By his purchaser
in order to make his own cash pay
ments on March I. There are IN

the pleasure of wild life, and he has
spent his life in enjoying them and
in teaching others, through his writ
ings, how to enjoy them. He became
a naturalist, and even in his advanced
age he still lives close to nature, still
studies nature, still finds pleasure in
observing the ways of bees and but
terfies and wild flowers and hills and
woods and streams. Nearly thirty

New Jersey State Liquor
Dealers Protective League
to Lead Fight
HOPE TO TIE 1T UP
FOR TWO YEARS
Fight Will Be Made On Adoption of
Prohibition Amendment BY Legisla-
No Wet Streak.

ATLANTIC CITY, n. J., Oct. Il
Liquor interests of this state, delegates
to the annual convention of the New
Jersey State Liquor Dealers Protec-
tive league have laid plans to start
court proceedings to hold up the en-
forcement of the federal prohibition
amendment on constitutional grounds
when the amendment would become OPP
erative on Jan. 16.
The conviction was expressed that
the other IS states holding the refer
endum privilege will join New Jersey
in the test and so tie up the law that
at least two years will have elapsed
before the highest courts can give a
final decision.
Following the advice of legal council
the delegates adopted resolutions call
ing upon their lawyers to institute in
junction proceedings as the first step
in the fight, the instant notice of the
operation of the federal amendment is
served upon them. Their principal
fight will center around the fact that
state legislatures in referendum states
ratifying the amendment usurped pow
ers of the people, and they are conf
dent that the courts will back them up
in this claim. They are also convinced
that many states that have been dry
for years will be demanding a referen-
dun, and once the proposition is put
up to the people their battle will be
won.
The dealers had been confident that
the restrictions of the war time prohi-
bition law would be lifted shortly, but
they have had information that
changed their views. Leaders ex-
pressed the opinion that the war time
ban would still be in operation on Jan
uary 16, and the anticipated short
breathing spell would therefore not be
granted them.
Former Congressman NJ. f. Farley, of
New York, addressing the convention
as the national legislative representa-
tive, asserted that there was no posi-
bility of putting over any "wet" leg
islation. Congress, he averred, was
easily three to one against any such
overtures, so great was the influence
of the Ant-Saloon league.
