FARM LANDS SOLD
BEYOND VALUE
Statistics Show Instances
When Land Sold Too High
To Justify Returns.

AS result of the phenomenal adj
vance in Iowa land values during the
spring and summer of 1919, the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, in cooperation with the Iowa
State College Of Agriculture, made an
investigation, which shows that the
prices at which farm land was sold in
many sections OF that State were too
high to justify the returns which can
be made from it, 1t was found that
the average value OF Iowa farm lands
increased $121 per acre in the FIVE
years from 1915 to 1920. and that $63
of this increase occurred between
March 1919 and March 1920, the
twelfth month including the period of
the boom. Over 65 per cent of the
buyers and over SO per cent of the
sellers were farmers, while, contrary
to general belief perhaps, less than z
per cent of the buyers and but little
over IL per cent of the sellers we're
real estate men. The facts relative to
the percent of return on investment
in these lands which we're brought out
make it clear that they are valued in
excess of their earning capacity. The
investigators point out that with land
paying but per cent on capitaliza-
ton, and loans running at 6 per cent
or more. buying a farm on a large
margin of credit is a difficult under
taking for the farmer of average alb
ility as a manager

BULK OF U. HOPS
CROP SENT ABROAD.
Hops Crop for 1920 Is $780,.
600 Pounds; Consumption
Declined.

Hops did not go down and out with
the extinction of the brewing indus
try in this country, although the pop
ular expectation was that they would.
To a considerable extent, hops are
now used in making cereal beverages
of the soft drink" order, but the
bulk of the crop is exported say crop
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. The United
Kingdom received more than one-half
of the exports of the calendar year
1919, and large quantities were sent to
Canada, Japan, France. and in less
degree to many other countries.
The hops consumed by brewers
and exported, less the imports for the
fiscal year ending with June 30, aver
aged in round numbers 46,s0O 900
900 pounds in the FIVE years 9O1-19O5
5O,3OO,O0O pounds in 19O6-191O: 3d.
100000 pounds in 19l1-1915. These
figures are equivalent to the produc-
ton of hops, except as affected by
one-fifth of the difference between
stocks at the beginning and end of
the periods.
During the World War. the con-
sumption and net exports of hops
declined sharply 5O,3OO,OOO pounds in
1916 to 21,4OO.O 900 pounds in 1919 after
which movement rebounded to a.
100000 pounds in 1920. The hops crop
of 1920. as forecast November l. is
3s,90O.00O pounds. While prohibition
promised almost to annihilate hops
growing in this country, the war re-
moved European competition in Eu-
market abroad was provided The ex-
tent of restoration of Europe's hops
production and consumption may con-
ceivably affect the size of the future
crop in this country, according to the

And pretty as a pink,
With midnight curls and teeth of
pearls
And eyes like pools of ink,
And cheeks and lips that shamed the

So rich their crimson glow,
She never let herself be caught
Beneath the mistletoe.
Now Mllicient, is forty-two
And single still, alas!
And knows herself passee if she
Believes her looking glass;
If to her house at Christmas time
You ever chance to go,
Lo you will find her standing right
Beneath the mistletoe.

HAVE SOMETHING TO DO.

The straightest path to failure is to
have-nothing TO dol
There is really but one dangerous
element 10 society at large, and that
lies in those who have nothing to do.
The idler, the mere taker, the COM
painer-these are consumers, not con-
tributors.
Always have something to do-being
certain, however, that it is something
useful. Honest work is honest work,
whether in California or Norway. And
it counts.
Theodore Roosevelt always had
something to do. He had made the
habit of work SO much part of all that
he was, that hardly minute of any
day got away from him. IL was his
custom TO hive book always about
! him so that lie could thrust bis active
mind into its pages at every interval
during the great tasks Of his career.
! Minds DON'T wear out They merely
go to sleep with the body.
Youth hides behind wrinkles and
puts a touch Of glory in hair that be.
comes silvered where the mind and
body have worked together against
sloth and waste.
Always have something to do.
Work gladly and with heart All
profit lies in service. And service is
measured in intention, worked out to
the best of ones ability.
The harder you work, and the more
you do, the greater number of mis-
takes you are sure to make. But if
you don't know how to make mistakes
and then to profit from them the
chances are that you will accomplish
comparatively little.
Always have something to do that
makes you happy and that adds to the
happiness Of others.
