HARDING WAS WORTH
ABOUT $50 THOUSAND
WIDOW OF LATE PRESIDENT
CHIEF BENEFICIARY UNDER
s. WILL RECENTLY MADE.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-The late
President Harding was worth about
thrce-quarters of a million dollars at
the time of his death and most of
this will go to Mrs. Florence King
Harding, his widow.
He made a new will shortly before
he left Washington last June for
Alaska, and placed all his personal
affairs in such shape that in the event
of his failure to return alive they
would be in such shape as to give his
widow the least concern and worry
after his death.
1t is learned tonight that the will is
to be filed at Marion, o., probably
during the coming week, and that it
will be probated in the old court
house at that place. The will dispos-
es of an estate worth, it is stated,
about $750,000 and Mrs. Harding is
the chief beneficiary. She will not re-
ceive the entire estate, as there are
some minor requests to persons Mr..
Harding wished to remember in this
wav. In addition to being the chief
beneficiary named in the will, Mrs.
Harding is already well-to-do in her
own right. She is not rich woman,
but has considerable estate OF her
own.

AMERICAN FARMERS
KEEP ON THE MOVE
REPORT SHOWS ONE FARM IN
EACH 10 IN U. S. CHANGES
HANDS EVERY YEAR.

Nearly 100000 United States
farms, or approximately one out of
every five farms in the United States,
changed occupants in 1922, according
to survey made by the U. S. depart
ment OF agriculture.
This is the first survey of the kind
made by the department, and while
the changes give evidence of consid.
cradle mobility among American
farmers until comparative figures for
other years are available it will not
be possible to determine whether the
extent of the movement in 1922 was
greater or less than usual, says DR..
c. L. Stewart, economist preparing
the report.
Few Changes in New England.
In nine southern states one farm in
every four changed occupants; in six
states in the New England group the
turnover was one farm in every ten,
and in most of the corn belt and west
ern states between 10 and IS per cent
of the farms changed occupants.
Changes in ownership OF farms took
place on nearly 100000 farms, or APP
proximately one farm in every sixteen
in the United States In general, more
farms changed owners in the west
and south than in the New England,
middle Atlantic and corn belt states.
OF the 100000 or more farm ten
ants in the United States more than
$500 changed the scene OF their
operations during the year. More than
Is per cent of these tenant changes
occurred in the Is southern states. In
both Georgia and Texas more than
10000 tenant farms changed tenants
in 1922.
The percentage of tenant farms
changing tenants during. the year
ranges from 3 per cent in Maine to
% per cent in Oklahoma. Seven
southern states show a change of
more than 80 per cent. In corn belt
states the range is from IA per cent in
Illinois to % per cent in Missouri
and in mountain and Pacific states
from II per cent in California to 20
per cent in Colorado.
100000 Leave Farms.
Although the number of tenant
farms in the United States shows a
net increase of $4,000 for the year,
more than 100000 tenants either dis
continued farming for some other oc-
cupation or left their communities. A
percentage decrease IN tenant farms
is shown in only 10 states and in two
states the percentage was unchanged.
In general, the largest exodus OF ten
ants occurred in the south and west.

LEADING CROPS IN
THE UNITED STATES
CORN COMES FIRST IN AMER
ICA WITH COTTON SECOND,
1T IS STATED.

Though the wheat crop in value
amounts to only about per cent of
agricultural production, it has been
attracting more attention and discus
sion in recent weeks than all the rest
of the country's agricultural produc-
ton put together. Some attention
might proftabiy be given to the 9TH
er "a per cent.
The principal crop raised in the
United States is corn. The indicated
crop for this year at the time of the
government report was 2,S77, 437 900
bushels, or 13,275,000 bushels less than
a year ago. The price OF bushel at
the farm, however, was 86H cents on
July /, compared with 81 cents on
the corresponding day of 1922. The
total value of the crop on July l last
was 81, 488.983 zoos, an increase of
100000, al over tho value Of the 1922
crop.
Two and Half Billion for Cotton.
The second most valuable crop in
the country is cotton The indicated
crop on July l was 11,412,000 bales,
compared with 100000 bales last
year. The price of cotton on July
last was also higher than the price a
year ago, being 70 cents a pound
compared with 20 cents a pound on
the corresponding day of 1922. The
total value of the cotton crop on July
last was $1,500,000, or almost ex-
actly 50 per cent more than the value
of the crop at the corresponding time
last year. The total value of oats and
barley was also higher on July | than
a year ago.
The federal reserve board attributes
the larger domestic demand for farm
products during the last year to the
larger buying power of industrial
workers arising from fuller employ
ment and wage advances. During the
first five months of 1923, for instance,
the sale of groceries at wholesale ex-
ceeded that of the same period last
year by IA per cent, and the sale of
meat increased 20 per cent.
