Petty declared that the Washington
Real Estate Board has officially
acSepted definite standards Of prac

This is one of the basic factors in
bringing the practice Of real estate
to d professional basis, he claimed.
This work Is progressing in a
very definite way and its success

TKe influence OF this definite ac-
tiont of such a large body of
bfokers is being reflected generally
fn-.the local real estate field. Ere
quefftly the board is called upon
to advise the proper course to pur-
sue in handling real estate transac'
tons. and invariably it outlines the
definite principles it has formally
adopted.
Through the free service bureau,
which is in charge of the executive
secretary of the board, the board
is- constantly coming in contact

ing to real estate. A considerable
pcrtion Of this service concerns
matters pertaining to real estate
transactions located in various
cittes. Through its affiliation with
the national organization. the board
is. IN a position to extend its serv
lee TO the public by cooperating
with other boards located in al
sections of the country.
Instances have been called to the
attention Of the board where IRE.
sponsible and unlicensed real estate
brokers were wrongfufly withhold
ing. funds from innocent parties in
connection with real estate transac
tons. In practically every such
case, through the efforts of the
board. these matters have been in

funds were returned to the proper
parties. This phase of the board s
work offers a direct opportunity OF
Informing the public of the serious
nature of real estate transactions
and they are invariably advised to
entrust their dealings to only such
brokers as are worthy and qualified
by experience to render intelligent,
efficient and honest service.
The prediction was made by Pet
ty that the work of the board would
ultimately result in establishing
definite requirements for those en-
gagged in the real estate business.

CHANGES MADE IN
1921 YEARBOOK

Are we growing too much
corn?
What is the outlook for price
of wheat?
What is relation of cotton to
other Southern crops?
What changes should be
made in beef production to
meet demands?
Farmers will be helped to answer
these and other questions for them
selves by series of economic dis
cussions in the 1921 Yearbook of
the Department of Agriculture which
will be sent to the printer shortly.
The book will be different from
those of preceding years. The reason
for the change in the material is
that people in the Department feel
that the great problems confronting
farmers to-day and for the years to
come are economic in character and
should be treated as such.
In the past about one-half OF the
Year book has been devoted to mag
aZine articles on numerous agricul-
tural subjects. The other half has
III So'hNiSiS SsS"NA|S-~ Law
terial presented in rather formal
manner.
In the 1927 book the space hereto
fore given to magazine articles Will
contain worked-out studies On the
economic situation with respect to
four of our major crops-cOrn.
beef, wheat and cotton. The ar
ticles deal with these crops from the
standpoint of production, market
ing. and distribution and show their
relative Importance, both as separ-
ate industries and to agriculture in
general. They have been prepared
on concise and understandable form
and are we'll illustrated with charts,
graphs and photos, Much OF the
statistical material will appear in
digest form and supplemented by the
| inclusion of production data and new
statistics on marketing and produc-
ton. Anotler speCIa1o-feature of the
book Slf1 be a graphic SUMMARY Of
American agriculture as interpreted
tom the census figures of 1920. In
other respects the 1921 book will
contain material of former years.
In making these changes in the
presentation of material in the Year
book, Department people point out
that farmers must give continued at
tention to production problems but!
that more thought must be directed
towards cheaper production and
more improved methods of market
ing and distribution, SO that the
prices the farmer received for his
products shall be more fairly relat-
ed to production costs.
The report of the Secretary will
show the progress of agriculture
during 1921 with particular en-
phasis on the economic phases. IT.
will contain brief statement of the
work of the Department and a dis
cussion of the agricultural crisis
through which We passed last year.
The free distribution of the Year
book is made chiefly by members OF
Congress. The Department OF Ag-
riculture has a limited number for
members of it's staff and principal
cooperators
