SUSSEX FARM LANDS IN DEMAND

Howard c. Stewart, agent for the E.
A Strout Farm Agency, made a record
last Wednesday when he sold three
farms in one day. The sales were the
farms of William Gels, near Smiths
Store, to Frank c. Baughman of Wash
ingtOn; Leonard Smith, near Redden,
,to William Ford of Newark, N. j.; and
Albert Smailes, near Georgetown, to
F. G. Pluncknett, of Toronto, Canada.
Had these sales been made a few days
earlier, before the close of the agencys
fiscal year. it would have carried the
,ales for the twelve months beyond the
eighteen million dollar mark As it
was. the largest farm agency in the
world closed the year with a record
of 1868 farms sold, with an aggregate
value of $17,966,400 Last year the
agency received 151, 1856 written in
quiries for farms and 1888 people
called at their offices to inquire about
farms. The advertising appropriation
for 1920 is to be double the amount
used in 1919 and the more than 900
agents expect to double the amount
of sales for the next twelve months
Mr. Stewart is preparing to get out
his yearly catalogue in a short time
and is advertising in other columns
of the paper for farmers who wish to
sell their farms to let him know about
them. During the past year Mr.. Stew
art sUiG Ii farms himself, ami expects
TO make it 40 farms for this year
Those who get their farms on his list
will soon get the benefit of his new
catalogue.
