owl Notes Sharp Rise
In Prices Of Farms,
Recalls Last War
By the Associated Press.

BY tne AssOClAtcQ FIcSs.
The once of War Information
has reported q considerable rise in
farm land prices and at the same
time recalled the disastrous collapse,
of values for both land and farm
products which followed the boom
of the last war.
The report cited as an anti-infla-
ton factor the record OF $3.50 .O00, 600
in farm debts paid of in 1912. about
three times the average of the three
previous years. 1t said the rising
prices of the World War were ac--
companied by skyrocketing mort
gage debts.
1.-TWO other factors are also IA
vorable," owl continued. Down
payments on recent land purchases
are reported to be substantial, as a
rule. and there is less speculative
buying than during the last war"
AS of March /, 1943, the report
showed per acre values of farm
lands in the United States at 80,
based on 1912-14 prices as 100. COM
pared with 81 for March /, 1912, and
the low point Of 73 in 1888, at the
bottom Of the depression.
Farmers won a minor temporary
advantage from the inflated prices
Of the last war, owl said. when
grain rose in 1919 to an index figure
of 233, based on the 1909-l4 average
as 100, and the average index of
all farm products reached 213.
In the smae period, however, the
report said, the farmers living and
production costs mounted to 202.
It continued:
I'm the meantime, the farmer,
despite the handsome prices he was
receiving, already had begun to lose
in the race between the prices he
got and the prices he paid. The
ratio of prices received by the
farmer to prices paid for living and
producing items was at its highest
in 1917, when the figure was III.
BY 1919 the index was los; it re-
NAMED at that point during the fol-
lowing year, but by 1921 had fallen
to 80. The ratio recovered some
what, but at no time from then on
reached parity, and at the depth of
the depression it stood at a low
OF 61."
Since the outbreak of the present
war, owl said, the average Of farm
prices In this country has risen
more than 80 per cent, and farm
income about 80 per cent, while the
average prices paid by farmers, in
cluding interest and taxes, has gone
up only about Is per cent.

BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY
(America's Gard Authority


Winning the national amateur
pair championship brought a thrill
to Kenneth Cadwallader and Arthur
Waterbury of Syracuse, N. Yes
pecially Waterbury, who was going
into the Army the following morn
ing. The amateur event Is so named
only because players with 10 or more
Master Points are not eligible to
play In 1t. It should really be called
the Non-Masters' championship. II
Is the one title that cannot be de-
Tended, as the winners automatic
ally become Masters.
Here Is one Of the hands that
helped make Cadwallader and Wa
terbury Masters. Several pairs with
the North South cards tried six no
trump. They probably thought that
everybody would be in at least SIX
hearts, so that the way to try FOR
a top was to play the hand IN no
trumps. But the diamond lead de-
feated the contract when the heart
fnesse failed.
Cadwallader and Waterbury, with
the North-South cards, were con-
tent to play for the safe six hearts
and shared their top score with only
two other pairs. This Is a good ex-
ample Of the counsel given by our
top-fiight match-point bidders: Play
for the safe average and the tops
will take care Of themselves.
