TREND BACK TO FARM FOUND

Farmers show more optimism
and a back-swing to the farm from
the city is noticeable in the fourth
annual survey of the farm lands

citation of Real Estate Boards.
Greater activity in farm lands than
year ago was found. Prices have
a tendency to advance and are
higher than in 1914. The associat-

farm purchase at the present time
is the occupation of the farm as a
home and it's conduct as a bust

communities reporting show this

reason for buying is the expect

FARMERS SUGGEST
ONE DAY FOR DOE
Will Propose Bill to Protect
Summer Crops Ravaged
by the Herds.

A one-day open seaosn for the
killing of doe deer, hitherto pro-
tected from gunners over a period
of many years under the New
Jersey game laws, will be proposed
by farmers to the new State Legis-
| lature.
This move, taken by the agri-
culturists as means toward protect
ing their crops in the summer from
being ravaged by herds e the fleet
footed animals, bids fair to bring
clash between the farmers and
sportsmen.
Terms of new bill as proposed
by the farmers for killing of doe
were discussed by deer hunters to-
day. 1t provides that there shall be
one day of open cunning for female
deer on December 81 or %, 1927.
After the close of the regultS~ five
day season for BUCKS. = would be
illegal to kill bucks on the same
day that does are shot.
Pennsylvania is to have a short
open season for does in rural sec
tions where the herds are said to
have become destructive. This has
given the New Jersey farmers hope
that similar relief may be afforded
to them in thinning out the raiding
deer.
Hunters have successfully com
batted efforts by farmers over a
period of several years to lift the
protection upon does. They argue
that even one day of shooting of
the female animals would SO de-
populate the forest herds that the
future of buck-hunting would be
seriously affected.

porting optimism, it is significant
that s. per cent report conditions
better than last year, 80 per cent
the same, and only IA per cent
worse. There is sharp section
division, however, as to whether
optimism or pessimism prevails,
optimism being the greatest in the
southeastern, north central, noun
tain states, Pacific states and the
Canadian sections, and pessimism
predominating the north Atlantic
central eastern, and Great Lake
regions.
Foreclosures Show Decrease
I'm some communities no fore
closures were reported and 81 per
cent of the communities reporting
foreclosures indicate that their
number was smaller this year than
last, with 62 per cent reporting
favorable attitude on the part of
the banks toward renewal of loans.
Prices remained the same this
year as last in 46 per cent of the
communities reporting, but took an
inward turn in 80 per cent The
large majority of communities, rs
per cent, report current prices to
be lower than those of 1920, with
the general comment that deflation
is complete in their opinion, while
80 per cent report the prices to be
higher this year than in 1914.
The trend toward the farm sup
ported by the statement of AZ per
cent of those reporting that the
farming population in their COM
munities is increasing, of 25 per
cent that it remains unchanged.
Again the movement is clearly ap-
parent by sections, the majority
of those answering in the central
eastern, southeastern, south central,
north central sections, the noun
tain and Pacific states and Canada
reporting this situation. Only in
the North Atlantic section and the
Great Lakes region is the populat-
ion reported to be decreasing to
any considerable extent"
