Even as the army expanded the

relaxation of regulations designed to
curb the distribution of political lit

not prevent the transmission Of any

FARM VALUES:
No Spree

Although good returns on heavy
volume have stimulated agriculture
during World War II and led to a
brisk turnover in farm lands at in
creasing values, no runaway credit
extension has marked the realty
dealings.
With operators purchasing two
thirds Of the record number Of farms
sold in 1913, ST per zen of the trans
actions were for cash, and most of
the remainder involved large cash
down payments.
Because farm land values were
about rs per cent Of the 1912-'14
level when the war broke out, they
are still about so to go per cent
below the inflated prices of 1920 de-
spite their steady rise. although the
average rise in value has been about
81 per cent, increases have totaled
as much as SO per cent.
Inflated values above real earn
ing possibilities in some localities
has hindered the Farm Security ad-

foes formations in the open plains.
With about $4,000 men facing the
British in this sector, Nazi Marshall

Allied drive by sharp counter.
