Farms Are Selling.
(Kansas City Star.)

tkanSaS City StarJ
 The farm real estate situation has improved Land is being purchased investment. Insur- ance companies have re-entered the field of farm loans Refinancing the part of the Government and of large industrial corporations at lower rates of interest is a factor in other fields There is tremendous amount of idle capital available for investment Low earnings in industry and fear of further Government regulations cause hesitation on the part of those who have funds to invest There is general feeling that land bought at cur rent values is safe. Regardless of what may happen in the way of imitation of control, land will still have to be operated to furnish food and clothing for growing population.
 A recent report from the Farm Credit Admins traton indicates calls for relief from threatened foreclosures have diminished The total number Of lappeals 50,313 during the first fifteen months after commissioners loans were made available. When it is considered that there million farms in the country and less than l per cent of the owners applied relief from foreclosure it would seem that the distress not widespread as expected Of there were other sources of help Many were so deeply involved that they felt it useless to apply for loans.
 Federal land bank bonds heretofore drawing 5 per cent interest have been called and new bonds with a 3A per cent rate have been issued. The new bonds oversubscribed, indicating renewed confidence in farm obligations.
 There is every to expect a further appre- citation in land values. Suburban or subsistence farms in demand from workmen in the city who find it possible to lower their costs of living through the production of vegetables, poultry and dairy products and meat Suburban farms which can be developed into attractive homes by those who have capital to invest ard prefer the country to crowded conditions in the city have Stmula ted values within twenty to twenty-five miles of large centers of population. There is also a renewed demand for farms on the part of those who have a farm background and have found that their : ployment in cities is too irregular to give them a sense of security. All of these groups added to these who normally purchase farms have brought about a decided upturn in land values

 Unique in it's very nature, the Alaska ice pool is gamble unlike any other earth Primarily, it can't be fixed" at least no one has been able yet to move that ice solitary minute before old mother nature decides to honor the winner There odds; you just win you lose Everyone puts up the price; persons guess is good as another's and if there is such thing as honest gamble. the ice pool fills the bill
 Every other sport, while proponents for the most part try to keep it clean, has been at some time other tainted with the mire of corruption Horse racing baseball, football prize fighting; the touch of the crooked gambler has at times stained them all. Horses and have been "doctored'; baseball and football games have been thrown and there have been prize fighters notorious for laying down" to the other fellow. But there is liking" the ice It simply goes out every year about the time, depending climatic con- dtons.

All the thousands of Americans who have been broke in London, Paris Berlin will sympathize with the German tourists seeing New York on budget of $2O spending money for five days

Random Notes

On Saturday members of the Organic Act
Committee of ST. Thomas conferred with
members of.the Organic Act Committee of
st. Croix They considered several propos-
ed changes in the draft on which they are
working.
A Washington paper carries some strange
If not sensational news about Puerto Rico
and the Virgin Islands. 1t says there is talk
about another Virgin Islands investigation
and hints that Governor Cramer is disgust
ed and feels like resigning.
: Here in the islands things seem tranquil,
that is the opposing forces are qulet.H they
are working silently with their supporters
in Washington it is not publicly known.
At all events while the recent disturbance
was from outside forces or forces thrown out
of the administration the present upset, If
the Washington paper is right comes from
within the official family circle. Being Gov
ernor of the Virgin Islands under the new
Dealis no easy task. The bosses at Washing
ton change their plans as often as the clock
ticks and this being the New Deal labora-
tory of the Nation all eyes are focused
here.
