small birds were taken to the MAIN
land of Europe and were kept in
cages. They were called canary
BIRDS" or simply "canaries."
Most songbirds will die before long
if kept in small cages, but the ca
naries proved to be different. They
did not batter their heads and wings
against the cages. Instead they
came to feel quite at peace when
supplied with food and water. They
sang merrily in the homes Of their
owners.
In their wild state canaries are
found not only on the Canary Is
lands, but also on the Madeira Is
lands and the Azores. All these
islands are in the east-central At
lantic.
Wild canaries of the islands named
belong to the finch family. They
have greenish feathers above and
yellow and brown feathers below.
They make their nests out Of
moss, dry grass and plant down.
Early in spring they build homes
in low trees and shrubs near the
coast, the nests usually being less
than II feet above the ground.
After from three to five young are
Matched, and taught to fly, the par
ents leave the nest and build a new
one some distance from the coast.
BY August the parents may have
moved twice more, each time going
farther inland.
The last nest may be built in the
highest mountains on the islands.
Sometimes one pair of canaries
raises four broods in a single year!
The food of wild canaries is made
up largely of plant seeds, tender
shoots and fruit. Figs seem to be
the fruit which they like best.
Wild canaries have a song which
is sweet and strong" but it is
perhaps less pleasing than that OF
a good cage canary. Clever men
have taken pains in breeding the
birds to bring about the best in song.
The breeding also has led to
changes in color. Many cage ca
naries are entirely yellow.

There is a Latin word, "canis,"
which means dog" and it was used
in naming the Canary Islands. Large
dogs were kept by the natives when
Spanish soldiers and sailors con-

West had a better four-club bid
than a double of three hearts-but
perhaps he knew South would mis-
play the hand.
The diamond king was the OPEN
ing lead. Declarer won and quickly
returned club to clear out dummy's
singleton. West won with the Jack
and continued diamonds for two
more rounds. Declarer ruffed, led
a club and ruffed in dummy, and
then somewhat late) stopped to
figure out how to ruff his two re-
naming clubs. 1t would have been
a neat trick but he couldn't perform
it, being devoid of entries except In
the trump suit itself. The ines
capable result was: Down one.
Declarer should easily have fore
seen that he wouldn't be able to ruff
all his clubs, and should have looked
for another plan. The right play
at the second trick was spade, and
after ruff1ng the third round of dia-
monds, another spade. Then, and
only then, should declarer have
started on his club rufing. A sec
ond club lead, ruffed in dummy
would permit spade ruff by de-
clarer, and now, after drawing
trumps in two leads, declarer could
ruff a second club and throw his
remaining club loser on the estab-
lished spades.

Farm Prices Rising
All Over Country,
Survey Indicates
BY MAURICE WALKER

e~fe%s @~@"@N~ @~"%f"s
MANY Americans today are
NA planning tor the future
by investing ir farms, and
any one who is thinking Of
purchasing one, had better do
it as quickly as they can in
view of a steady rise in prices.
This is the advice Of 208
farm land experts from every
region of the country report
ing to the National Associa-
ton of Real Estate Boards
for their local real estate
boards in a special survey of
the farm lands market. Farm
selling prices are higher than
they were a year ago, three
fourths of the communities
reported, and only Z per cent
show a price drop. The me-
dian price advance for the
country as a whole is Is per
cent.
Four-ffths OF all the farm
areas Of the United States re-
porting 10 the National Asso-
citation in the survey expect a
continuation Of the price rise
through the coming u months.

MANY ARE INVESTORS

Investors make up An amaz-
ing portion Of THE farm bty-
ers today. The local real
estate board reports indicate
that for the nation as a whole
investors. constitute 80 per
cent of today's buyers.
While in many region
farmers make up 100 per cent
Of the buyers. for the country
AS whole they average only
56 per cent. The remaining
6 per cent are city people
buying with varying ideas as
to the farm as a home. a
subsistence aid. a way Of life,
or a means Of future security.
A large portion of the farm
ers now purchasing farms, two
out of five are tenants who
are acquiring as owners the
place on which they now live.
A desire TO hedge against in
fiation motivates perhaps 40
per cent of today's buying,
farm land experts reported TO
the y. A. r. + 3. In some
farm regions this motive is
not at all a factor of the local
farm market. In other sections
the observers report that prac-
tically every buyer has hedg-
ing against imitation in his
mind.

LIST REASONS

Difficulties in getting farm
labor and farm machinery
are behind many sales today.
Some sales have been due to
forced liquidation of the hold
ings Of farmers called in the
draft. For the country as a
whole the association survey
shows about 20 per cent of
the sales to be due TO such
war caused difficulties. In one
community in every five, as
many as half today's farm
sales are so caused.
If you are buying a farm to
operate. buy one already
equipped, and one you can
handle yourself in large part,
or have your labor supply and
equipment in sight, the farm
experts advise. Only a minor
element in today's farm sales
is liquidation of properties
repossessed by financing agen-
cies, For the country as a
whole the survey indicates a
median of 10 per cent Of sales
are by such companies. In
only 3 per cent reporting
communities are there still
any large number of farms
in the hands Of financing in
stitutions. In these few, how
ever, sales by financing
agencies are still large mar
ket factor.
