farm SITUATION
| DECLARED BETTER
Improvement in Lands Is
Noted Through Realty
Board Survey.

Measurable improvement in the farm
lands situation Is indicated In a national
survey Of the farm lands market which
has just been completed by the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards. The survey brings together re-
ports from member real estate boards IN
70 communities. The results were as
follows:
|. A larger volume of farm acreage
was sold in 1927 than In 1926 at the
same or at higher prices.
2. An upward tendency is recorded In
farm prices in Al per cent OF the COM
munitics reporting Prices are reported
either stationary or upward IN % per
cent Of these communities.
Prices for farm lands as OF the past
year we're reported to be higher than
prices prevailing for the same lands in
1914 IN al per cent of the replies made
to the associations inquiry, and In IS
per cent of the cases prices we're stated
as on a level with the price Of the pre-
war year. In "a per cent of the COM
munitics prices we're reported lower than
in 1914.
g. Purchases of farms are now pre-
domnantly by persons elccting the farm
as n business enterprise and as a home.
However in 10 per cent Of the communi-
ties reporting purchasers are buying
farms to hold for an increase In price,
and in per cent they are buying farm
land as investment property.

sign of vines and trees in lovely blue
green's and with birds and blossoms in
orange and pomegranate shades against
a deep cream ground. The outside door
Is delightful shade of blue green. and
happily this color Is not lost with the
closing of the door. for there Is the

antiqued with coat of shellac which
not only serves to soften the color but

PLAY SPACE URGED
FOR SUBDIVISION
Need for Proper Supervision
Stressed by National
Realtors President.

Allotment of park and recreationa!
areas by subdividers at the time OF
plating should be done in co-ordina-
ton with the rest of the citys park
plan.
While such gifts OF play space are
valuable to the community, the forlna-
ton Of small park or playground areas
without proper provision for upkcep or
supervision Is not an asset, ana Will
eventually depreciate values in the
neighborhood.
These principles were set forth by
c. c. Heat Of Louisville. Ky, presi-
dent of the National Association Of
Real Estate Boards. in an address de-
livcred before the National Recreation
Congress. He dwelt upon the difficult
ties of setting up arbitrarily principle
that all subdivisions should be accom-
panied by park or playground allot-
merts.
"A subdivider who has any regard
for the future value of his property
would hesitate before opening up an
ground in the heart of it. There must
be supervision or the gift will turn out
to be a nuisance and depreciate values.
The subdivider who expects to set
apart a portion of his tract for COM
munity use should do it in cooperation
with some expert in recreation. SO as
to get the best possible advice as 10
where the playground and recreation
centers should be located and how they
ought to be set up, just as he employs
engineers to make layouts and devise
sewer systems or water systems. he
said
With the development of fine resi-
dental areas the practice of setting

community park or center is becoming
more and more general. Upkeep and
supervision of such tracts may be safe
guarded by putting ownership and adj
nlinistration in the hands of an as

owners. But the subdivider who makes

pie of his growing community cannot
obligate himself indefinitely for its
supervision and upkeep Recreational
leaders. who are urging extension of
21e practice of making park allotments
ahould see to it that the city in which
such land is situated is shown the wis
dom of accepting that property and
undertaking to supervise 1t. Mr.. Heat
Drought out.
The rule sometimes laid down that
enc acre in every ten in a subdivision
ought TO be set aside for public use
sounds all right in theory, but If you
are subdividing a small tract of 10
acres. you cannot cut out one acre and
devote that to Fairgrounds without
having a very illogical arrangement.
All things OF that kind ought to be
done under comprehensive city plan
that locates Fairgrounds and public
spaces where they ought to be located,
and then arrangements should be made
with the developer to set aside tract
or make some contribution toward set
ting aside an appropriate location"

all calculations. BY this means the

Most important. however. Is the fact
that the Typographical survey permits
the home builder to use house design

particular lot in question. BY so doing,
he may add hundreds of dollars to the
value OF his house and grounds.
While the ordinary location survey,

is good enough for the requirements of
building departments and most fnanc-
ing organizations. the Typographical
survey Is OF the utmost Importance in
the matter of adapting the right house
to the right site.
It is extremely difficult for the per-
son with little or no surveying expert
ence to visualize just how the design
which he favors may or may not fit n

Almost all people take great care in

The entrance door comes in also for

OIL STOCKS TAKE LEAD
IN MARKET ACTIVITY

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, September 6.-The oil
stocks today took the place in the mar
ket that has been occupied at different
times recently by the motors. coppers,
iron, steel and amusement. public utili-
ties. rails and food products shares.
The Standard Oil group was not so
prominent as we're the issues of indie
pendent producers and refiners. This Is
explained by the fact that while there
are no combinations likely or dividend
changes probable in the latter group
there is talk of mergers to follow those
already effected among the independ-
ents. There is also considerable spec
ulation as to what may be done in the
early part Of 1929 with the increased
profits resulting from higher prices of
oil since last Spring.
Some of the largest operators In the
market have been identified with the
movements in oil shares Conspicuous
are the Fisher Brothers. who have been
accommodating Texas Corporation stock,
which was dealt in in large blocks. In
the process of rounding out this cor
poratlon. 1t acquired control last March
Of the California Petroleum Co. and it
is believed to have an eye on other i'm
portant producers.
A significant movement is that which
mas been under way for some DAYS in
the shares Of the Tidewater Associated
Oil Co, whose outlook is believed to be
better now than at any time since the
two important refining and producing
units were brought together in Febru-
airy. 1925. or shortly before the oil in
dustry came face to face with the crisis
due to overprOduction.
The statements of many of the oil
companies In the June quarter showed
marked improvement compared with
the previous quarters. They will be
even better when the figures for the
three months ending September 80 are
published. As several of them reduced
or passed their dividends. they have
been building up a strong cash posi-
ton, while at the same time cutting
down their outstanding obligations
This Is one feature that has made
them popular to those who buy stocks
for capital appreciation rather than for
income.
