of farm lands have been made locally to farmers owning ad

string to depend their resources. While cannot
state definitely how many farms have changed hands, we
would feel safe saying that from 100 to $50 quarter
tons have changed ownership in the section tributary to
Dickinson within radius of about 20 miles. Perhaps so
per the land which has been sold has not been under
cultivation during the past few years."
Bismarck correspondent of the bank writes: Some
of the farmers talking about wishing to buy of
the cheap land at this time and in there is this
year there will undoubtedly be good many purchases of
that nature made"

FIVE MILLION FOR GOOD ROADS
Approved Bond Issue for Delaware's
Roads Show More Work to be Done

Approved Bond Issue for Delaware's
Roads Show More Work to be Done
Judging from the manner with
which the General Assembly is ap-
proving of bond issues for new high
ways, the road construction for the
next two years will be almost on a
par with that of the prior two years.
If present plans go forward success
fully and there seems to be no OBJ
struction or objection to them, then
between $50 and IT'S more miles of
concrete highways will be added to
present ATS miles Of improved road in
the next two years. The roads will
cost approximately five millions of
dollars.
The cost of the new highways will
be divided equally between New Cas-
tie and Kent with a bond issue of a
half million dollars each and Sussex
with a million dollar issue. The House
of Representatives has already ap-
proved the bond issues for Kent and
New Castle and with Sussex, it ap-
pears as though the only thing being
considered is the method. The Sus-
sex cOuntians want to turn the mil
lion dollars over to the State and have
the State build the roads. Previous
ly the matter was arranged through
the Levy Court of Sussex county, but
in the bill now pending, the State is
authorized to make the arrangements.
Added to these two millions of dol
lars raised by new bond issues, there
is two millions of dollars which the
State Highway Commission has avail
able for new work. Added to this the
State will receive from the govern
ment approximately $750,0O0 during
the next two years for Federal road
work and this brings the total up tC
nearly five million.
1t is expected that the starting oi
the work this year will be repetition
of that of two years ago, when owing
to the legislature being in session ap
prOval of road work was not accom-
plished in time to make an early start
But while waiting for the General AS
sembly to complete their considera
tion of new roads, the State Highwa.
Department is planning to start il
. with some contracts left unfnishe'
and some new work already planned.
