already has a membership OF 6.5OO.
There Is to be a golf match starting at

A staff Of experts have been at work
during the past two weeks putting on
the finishing touches and completing
the furnishings of the building. The ex-
terror is a masterpiece of architectural
skill and the interior Is work OF art.

Stretching away as far as the eye can
reach in one direction. the vision Is en-
chanted and still confined within the
grounds of the club. A forest of pines
forms the hedge on the rim of low lying
hills, which on the other side slope
gently toward the Sound.
The majority of greens in the golf
courses can be overlooked from the roof
of the sports house. A close inspection
shows that there is perfect drainage and
that shower never will interfere with
twosome or foursome or single. An
elaborate system of irrigation is also In
stalled. In fact, nothing appears to be
overlooked which could possibly add to
the perfection of the courses.
The picturesque element enters largely
into the scheme of development, nature
taking the principal part. The courses
are dotted with historic trees. shelves
Of rocks and numbers of thickets. A
miniature lake glistens in a deep hollow
with mossy banks and delightful turns
and windings. In the winter time.

there will be skating and skiing and

The property on which the hotel is
built is famous for its natural beauties.
On one side the property is bounded by
the White Plains road and on other
sides by Purchase and North streets.
The hotel building Is situated on the
highest point of land on the property
and is connected by interior highways
with both Purchase street and the White

Architects and Home

OF Baker, Crotocl, Inc.

A decided Improvement In the archi-
tectural design of country houses Is ap-
parent in the suburbs OF New York. Just
at present there Is an unusual amount
OF home building adjacent to the city.
and the custom of recognizing the execu-
tive and consulting abilities OF archi-
tects Is becoming more general among
almost all classes of home seekers.
This wonderful new field for the
architects labors has possibilities OF
the greatests interest and Importance

and to the general public. The trend to
the suburbs and country Is unmistak-
able. The age OF the city dweller Is

There are. however, many things to
be considered In the selection OF a home

choice of the house itself.

GREAT INCREASE IN
DEMAND FOR FARMS
Sales in 1922 Have Assumed
Surprising Proportions; New
York State Leads.

A tremendous revival OF confidence IN
the future Of American farmers is In
dicated by big increase in the activity
of the market for agricultural lands
which has taken place within the last
two months. according to reports from
a leading farm selling agency.
The number of inquiries for farm
properties began to show big increase
soon after the beginning Of the year and
has been steadily growing since and now
has assumed surprising proportions The
L. A. Strout Farm Agency. which last
year sold $2o.00O000 worth of farms.
says the present demand is greater than
ever before.
Its sales for four weeks in April set
a new record in the twenty years OF Its
history by aggregrating $50 farms trans
ferred: and If business continues at
this rate or in the same relative pro-
portion for the remainder Of the year.
Mr.. Strout believes 1922 will 60 over
the top as by far the best year the
farm selling business has ever expert
enced.
New York State. as usual. shows the
greatest activity with a record OF
eighty-five farms transferred in this
State in four weeks. There was close
struggle for the honor of second posi-
ton between the States of Florida, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania. Florida farm
lands finished the month trifle in the
lead. with fifty-ninen sales of farms.
while New Jersey farms ran next with
fifty-seven sales and Pennsylvania third
with fifty-five.
Maine. usually one of the most active
c..- a.
closed the month with an aggregate of
forty-six transfers. while its neigrbo--
ing State. New Hampshire. shared in
the general increase with a total trans
fer of thirty-seven.
Michigan and Ohio are two States in
which the market for farm property is
always active, for their lands have been
held at much lower values than the one
crop farms of the middle West. Conse-
quently they are attractive TO farmers
or city dwellers In the States further
west, where land speculation during the
war sent prices so high that there was
little market for the farms of such
States as Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas.
This demand for Michigan and Ohio
farms increased in April. with the result
that thirty-nine sales were reported by
the Strout agency In Michigan and
thirty-four In Ohio.
Two other States where tho demand
for farms is about even were Massa-
chusetts. with twenty-six sales, and
Maryland. with twenty-four. Arkansas
and Vermont ran a neck and neck race
with eighteen sales in each State. while
Missouri reported twelve. Indiana and
Delaware eleven each. Connecticut and
Virginia eight.
