INCREASE IN VALUE
OF FARM PLOW LANDS
Something Occurred That May
Be Called Phenomenon.
Least Rates Of Advance Are Found In
New England and Middle Atlantic
States-Upward Movement
N Corn Belt.

When farm plow lands increase in
value per acre by one-ffth In one year
and by one-half IN four years, some
thing has occurred that may be called
a phenomenon" These increases In
value are indicated by the results Of
investigations by the bureau of crop
estimates. In March, 1916. pillow lands
In the United States had the average
value Of $3.50; in the same month in
1917 the average was $62.17; In 1918
it was S6s.38; In 1919, S74S1; and at
the same time of the year In 1920,
S9OO1, building values In all years not
being included Ia the average.
The average value OF 1920 Is 81 per
cent above that of 1916, As per cent
above 1917, 30 per cent above 1918,
and d per cent above 1919. Hence It
appears that by far the greatest rate
Of yearly increase was from 1919 to
1920. To the extent that ploW-land
values are related to crop prices, this
hind the advance In crop prices Is ac-
cording to rule.
Values approximately doubled In the
South in four years, and that is a part
OF the country where plow lands have
low values. They are oTertaking the
higher values Of other states. The
least rates Of advance in values are
found in the New England and Middle
Atlantic states. In the corn belt,
where values are highest, the upward
movement Is strong.

RECORDS PROMISED IN 1920
Millions to Be Spent In improving
Public Highways and Transporta-
ton Facilities.

The year 1920 promises to develop a
revolution In Americas two great
problems and transporta-
ton.
Ali over the country great interest
is being manifested in better roads
and improved transportation facili-
ties.
The coming Of the pneumatic-tired
motortruck has given an impetus TO
the movement for a national highway
system that is sweeping everything
before It.
State after state has passed, with
out noticeable opposition, appropria-
tons for millions Of dollars to build
and improve main market and inter
county highways.
What these activities portend can be
visualized in some measure when it is
said that Of the 100000 miles Of
roads In this country only 200, 900 miles
are improved.
Motor transports work at highest eff
ficiency on good roads, although the
pneumatic truck tire is rendering con-
spicuous service in transporting
heavy loads over swamp ground and
the sandy soil Of fruit groves.

Plant a garden It pays in many
ways.
Seeds must be planted In moist sell
but not In wet or sticky soil.
Haul out the manure and old straw
stacks and scatter it on-the fields.
For pasture purposes timothy or al
sike clover have been mixed with red
clover for planting on light soils.
Doubtless, II farmers were to keep
records Of what their gardens pro
duced they would find them the most
valuable plots on the farm.
Soil must be made fertile and Do
rOus with decaying vegetable matter
or manure to insure in the soil a good
comfortable home for helpful bacteria.
Constant, steady moisture IS desired
by all plants at all times; vegetables,
particularly, give best results when
growth Is steady and rapid.
Ducks, like geese. make their own
nests. You can help them provide
places and material, but they don't like
much attention being paid to their
nesting

OYSTER SHELLS ARE NEEDED
Lime Is Essential for Hens to Manu-
faCture Eaqs-FoWIs VIII Bal
ance Own Ration.

PulIets and hens do better for hav.
ING oyster shell as a regular part Of
their ration. This was proved by the
New York experiment station some
years ago, when a poultry writer con-
demned the use Of oyster shell as IN
necessary.
1t was proved that pound of oyster
shell contains enough lime to manu-
facture about seven dozen eggs. This
should not be fed in the mash. Fowls
know more about what they need to
eat than we do. If they have the
oyster shell. ground bone, meat scraps
and grit In hOppers before them, with
a variety of ground grains In dry
mash. they will balance their ration
better than we can balance 1t for
them.

There are many times when a days

TURKEYS ARE HARD TO RAISE
Reason IL Because PouIts Are Allowed
to Become Chilled or Damp
and infested.

Many people say that turkeys are
too hard to raise. and fewer Of them
are raised from the number of eggs
set than any other kind Of fowl. This
Is almost always because the little
poults are allowed to get chilled or
damp or lousy during the first month
or six weeks. After that age turkeys
are the hardest OF fowls.

improved. 1t is an easy matter to
have an agreement so each farmer
will drag the road In front of his
farm. This would maintain the road
till the regular hands could be called
out at stated intervals or till the COM
missioner could make the necessary
repairs.
The time has come when we must
consider the roads an asset, indis-
pensable to the well-being Of the
farmer and his family. This being
true. is it not every mans duty to do
all he can to keep the roads In good
condition. The individual as well as
the county Is responsible.
