DECREASE IN PRICE
OF u. S. FARM LANDS
AVERAGE GRADE WORTHS S83
PER ACRE, SAYS OFFICIAL
ANNOUNCEMENT.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Average
grade pillow lands in the United States
IS valued at $8378 per acre, as COM
pared with $900l an acre year ago,
the department of agriculture today
announced. Although showing a de
cline from the peak price OF 1920, the
average still is higher than any, OF
the preceding years. The values
shrunk more heavily in the cotton and
tobacco states of the south than any
other section, while the smallest de-
cline was shown in the far western
states.
The values ranged from an average
minimum OF $50 per acre in Alabama
and Mississippi to 5000 in Iowa:
From reports received it is estlmat-
ed that the farm land values per acre
in Georgia averaged on March l, l9zl,
about as follows:
g., Average poor pillow lands, $500;
good pillow lands, $50; all pillow lands,
$50.
Average OF all farm lands: With i'm
provements, $46l0; without improve
ments, S31.22.
These land value figures, when com
pared with farm land values yeal
ago, indicate an average decline OF 81
per cent or more over the state.

NOW APPLAUSE AT PUBLIC
PLACES COMMERCIALIZED
Is Ordered by Wire and Paid for as
a Commodity.

NEW YORK.-Applause is sup
posed to be an expression OF sincere
appreciation, but more often in a New
York theatre or opera house it is a
commodity that is paid for. That is
not news. But now comes knowledge
that the engaging Of claques has spread
to other cities. Vaudeville and burles-
que artists now can telegraph ahead
and have their applause arranged for
them. Certain persons in the leading
cities have gone into the business OF
boosting acts" and their names are
known to the right performers.
In the nationwide spread OF the
claque idea various schemes have been
used. Two sisters in vaudeville carry
their mother, who stations herself at
the gallery door and purchases ad-
missions for Youngsters, giving them
instruction when to applaud, A GER
tain comedian when on the road re
hearsed his own claquers and paid
them in advance Many advance men
ahead OF shows have carried commits
sions to hire people to enter the thea
tire and greet certain company mem
bers. All that doubtless has led up to
the establishment of the chain OF pro-
fessional claquerS all over the country,
which is part OF the standarizing OF
business that has entered all branches
OF industry.

Nickerson ''Sewcd Up" House For Wilder.
Especial to The Times)

Hartford, June S-Quite a dramatic incident in connection with the Bridgeport city judgeship occurred in the House yesterday afternoon, after the House had, to the great surprise of those who thought they knew it's temper, taken the bit in it's teeth and not only flouted the Senate majority but overrode it's own leadership by voting IF to 55 to indefinitely post pone the resolution naming Albert J. Merritt as Judge.
 After the motion to postpone in definitely had been carried, Repre- sentative Nickerson of Cornwall, who has been the staunch supporter of Judge Wilder and the only man on the Judiciary committee favorable to his candidacy, moved that the minority report of the committee naming Wilder. as Judge be adopted. His motion prevailed without opposition or debate.
 Majority Leader Buckley tn n jumped to his feet and securing the recognition of the chair moved the immediate transmission of the reso- lution naming Judge Wilder as it passed the house to the Senate under suspension of the rules. The speaker put the motion and Representative Fitzpatrick of Bridgeport, offered a motion to reconsider the vote of the | House just taken in favor of Judge | Wilder. and asked that his motion be ! voted down, so as to clinch the action | of the House in favor of Wilder | Leader Buckley immediately raised | the point or order that .he resolu ton | had passed from the control of the | transmit and was sustained by the | chair without objection. The motior | to suspend the rules was then passed l and sent to the Senate.

"CLIFF" WILSON IN ROLE OF OBSERVER (?)
Special to The Times)

Hartford, June S-Mayor Clifford B. Wilson of Bridgeport was visitor at the Capital yesterday. He renewed many of his former acquaintanceS and was quite conspicuous about the lob by of the building chatting with old friends. Shortly after the House had rejected the majority report of the judiciary committee naming Albert J. Merritt as judge, Mayor Wilson enter ed the Senate chamber, where he stood in the rear as a spectator de- clining the chairs proffered to him by others in the chamber. Practical ly the entire time that Mayor Wilson spent in the Senate chamber, the Senate Leader Alexander L. Delaney of Bridgeport was not in his chair. The Mayor and Senator Challenger chatted for a considerable time in the chamber. The Mayor when question ed as to the nature of his visit by Times representative said that he was merely observing the closing events of the session.

WILDERS SELECTION BY HOUSE
 BIG SURPRISE TO THE LEADERS
Just As ''A Merritt Was to Walk Off With Court Prize Zip Zap! Bang! and Old "Owl'' Nickerson Bowled Buckley and His Organization Over-Dennis and Fitzpatrick Stick to Wilder.

I want Merritt I will say that reply was made to a direct question by me, the question to the Senator being
 Who do you personally want?' I mad heard of no candidates, and it was stated by the Senator that his personal preference was Merritt In the course of his remarks, MT. Buck ley said: Judge Nickerson wished the matter deferred because a Ques- tion arose as to whether the commit tee would report a Republican or a Democrat That aroused some amusement because it was assumed that everybody undertood that MT. Merritt was a Republican as he is and always has been. MT. Merritt was born and brought up in Bridgeport The gentleman from Cornwall nor no other individual has a word of criticism against him. He was in the service during the war and on his return again engaged in the prac- tice of law. There Is no ques- in Bridgeport are peculiar. They were having a mayoralty election and certain independent Republicans as stunned to run an organization of their own and nominated Republican candidate and MT. Merritt assisted.
 Many Republicans at that time supported an organization for the purpose of defeating the regular Re gentleman from Cornwall raising the issue that from a Republican stand point the selection of MT. Merritt would be unpopular, it is not true. He may call the attention Of this House to the sentiment of the board of al- dermen and the two representatives from Bridgeport, and I will say that regardless of who this committee would stand for, the aldermen and the representatives from Bridgeport would be opposed, because in these cities, especially in Bridgeport there is a political fight that enters into the situation. The majority of this com mittee followed the policy of report ing out the man they believed to be supported by the majority of sena- tors and representatives from the city, and a man whose character and ability cannot be questioned"

Hartford, June S-Representatiye Nickerson of Cornwall carried Judge Frank L. Wilder to victory in the contest over the Bridgeport city court judgeship late yesterday afternoon in the House, besting the combined forces of the Senate and of the House leaders, forcing a deadlock between the House and Senate which both sides believe will be broken to- day. Yesterdays debate was par ticipated in only by Representatives Wilder and Majority Leader Buckley on behalf of Merritt.
 Rep. Nickerson declared in open ing that no word was spoken in op- position to Wilder when the matter first came before the judiciary com Inittee, adding: Judge Wilder has been the deputy judge Of the city court of Bridgeport since 1913 and has enjoyed the confidence of every lawyer and every 1nan who has had any litigation pending before him. MT. Merritt has never had any experience as judge. There is no question of the integrity of Judge Wilder, but there comes up the cry T want Al Merritt So says the prosecuting at torney (Delaney) of the Bridgeport that a majority of the Republican town committee and the Board of Aldermen favored Wilder
 Representative Fitzpatrick of , Bridgeport said: bridgeport is al most a unit for the reappointment of Judge Wilder"
 To offset Merritt's service record T the war. MT. Fitzpatrick read resO- lutions passed by the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars in April and October of last year com mending Judge Wilder in general terms for his attitude towards eX- service men,
 Majority Leader Buckley speaking for Lieut. Commander Merritt, re- ferred to Rep. NickerSon'S friendship for Judge Wilder, and stated: Ten Of the committee are in positions where no personal direct friendships are involved and are in position to decide the question entirely on it's merits.
