Their experience, according to Mr..
Brookings, has demonstrated great
reduction in cost of production and an
increase in productivity under chain
methods, as compared with small in
dependent units.
One of the purposes of the Federal
Farm Board, which is proposed by the
Hoover administration, is to study all
suggestions of this character. and to
encourage their application whenever
found practicable. 1t is said that Gov

that these will be considered by the

loans during the period of land value
imitation and which have been COM
PEELED to forclose.
"These lands" says Mr.. Bookings
"are now doubtless available at a low
price. The three joint stock land
banks which are now in receiversnir
are no doubt DESTROYS to liquidate theii
assets as quickly as possible.
Tracts at Low Cost.
"The fact that these various tracts OF
lands are available at low cost makes
the present time opportune for the
formation by promoters Of agricultural
Corporations which could operate these
farms profitably in chains"
Mr.. Bookings believes that the appli-
cation of corporate organization to as-
riculture is one of the best means OF
regenerating that industry. The three
Joint stock land banks own altogether
about 10000 acres of land, which they
carry on their books at about $780,
600, and in addition have about $780,
600 in process of foreclosure. AS COM
pared with this, the SO solvent joint
stock land banks have more than So
900, 900 tied up in outright foreclosures
Mr. Brookings' belief is that the
banks which have acquired land in this
manner. especially the defunct banks,
would be glad to sell their outright
holdings at cost and probably much
less considering the revaluations, while
their actual value under efficient. or
ganized methods of cultivation, would
in his Judgment be potentially much
greater. and that if the corporations
purchasing these farms had adequate

so cavalry, at Fort Myer. Va. COM
manded by Maj. John T. McLane. The
squadron will form at 1910 am March
on pennsylvania avenue, facing south,
with the color guard opposite the north
east gate of the White House. The de-
tachment of police forms on the left
of the Cavalry squadron.
According to approved plans. the first

dent-elect Hoover and two members of
the congressional committee and will be
saluted formally by the escort.
Following the presidential car will be
automobiles occupied by the Vice Presi-

others invited by the President. The
cars will proceed in single column. with
