few individuals or syndicates of in

ago was considered in the cOuatry'

unprecedented real estate activity.
As the Capital of the greatest ma

velopnent Of the city has been in
the northwest section. and it will
continue TO be, because of the i'm

There is no more serious men

the discomfort which is fostered by
a brief that one cannot enforce his
legal rights because of poverty. To
spread that notion is to open
broad road to bolshevism.

OF County
Decreases
Fewer Acres Under
Cultivation This Year
Than Last; Berries
and Fruit Gain

That acreage devoted to staple
grain and fruit crops in Marion
county have decreased by 872 acres
since 1919 is the startling fact dis
closed by the report completed
Thursday by the county asserror's
office. This report which is sur
vey of agricultural, and horticul-
tural activities in this county also
reveals heavy gains in fruit and
berry acreages over I919-1920

crops.
The Marion county report of hor-
ticulture and agriculture, as corn
pleted recently by the county as
SCISSOR shows that fruit and berry
acreages are making heavy gains
oyer paintings in grains and other
field crops.
Fruit Acreage Gains.
The report accounts for an acre
age of 187,721 devoted to all crops
for the year 1920. OF this acreage,
144,328 is in grain and other field
crops, while 43,393 is in fruit and
berries. This is compared to the
1919 report from the same source
which shows acre age as follows:
grain and other field crops, 172,-
'49O; all varieties of fruit, 16.103: a
total crop acreage OF 1S8,593.
BY these two reports it is shown
that fruit and berry acresages in
this county have increased by 27.-
29O over 1918; while the loss to
areas formerly devoted to cereals,
hay and field crops is 28,162 acres.
While the hop acreage for 1920
