Although no summary of sales to

repeal has caused considerable slow

County Mentioned In
National Geographic

Garrett county received mention in
the July issue Of the National Geo
graphic Magazine III connection with
an illustrated article by Albert A. At
wood, on Potomac, River Of Destiny"
There appears in the article picture
of a speedboat churning the waters of
Deep Greek Lake. Its relation to the
Potomac River was the fact, as quoted
in the magazine, although only seven
miles from the Potomac river, the
man-made lake near Oakland, 2,462
feet above the sea, drains into the
Ohio River system. Backbone noun
tain separates the two watersheds.
This comparatively undeveloped vaca-
ton land on Maryland's roof is twice
rs far from Baltimore as from Pitts

Baltimore Sun photographer, who was
here several years ago.
The article contains much informa-
ton about the old c. G. O. canal from
Cumberland to Washington.

Farm Real Estate
Values Increase More
Than SO Per Cent
Specialist Informs Carter Level
Is Getting Higher Monthly

Farm real estate values in Mary
land have increased 50 per cent since
the prcwar years 1935-1939, DR.. S. H.
Default, head of the department of
agricultural economies and marketing
at the University of Maryland, has in
formed John H. Carter, county farm
agent.
The present level Of farm real es-
tate vaulcs in the state is thirteen per
cent below the peak reached in the
First World War, but they are in
creasing by about one per cent per
month, with about one more year or so
to go to be comparable with the same
period in the First World War, De-
Vault said.
Forces tending to increase land val
ucs, he explained, are low interest
rates from alternative investments,
purchase of farms as d hedge against
imitation, high farm commodity prices
and accumulation Of liquid funds at
the disposal Of farmers and others.
Need To Be Informed
He added that prospective farm pur-
chasers need to be well informed on
land values, productivity of the land,
soil types, condition, usefulness and
adequacy Of farm buildings, and adap-
table farm enterprises. They should
avail themselves of a competent land
appraisal service before buying, ac-
cording to Default, who said both
credit and appraisal value should be
based upon normal yields and normal
prices.
The University specialist warned
that prospective farmers with little or
10 farm experience will generally be
better off if they postpone the pur-
chase of farms until they have ac-
quired experience as farm tenants or
! iaborcrs.
POStp0nement Best
Default said that when land values
have risen unduly, farmers ordinarily
will be better off to postpone purchase
of farms and use their accumulated
savings to retire debts, purchase war
bonds, improve the farm and plant
and build up cash reserves,
He added that encouragement
should be given to the transfer Of
farms to bona fdc farmers rather
than to land spectators.
