Old-time Songs.

The celebration In Bethesda and

people took the news without much
noise making. Everybody was smil-

to each other.
The youngsters were first to break
the ice. They appeared from houses
and stores, beating tinpans and
ringing cowbells. Several impromptu
parades, all composed of children
Of school age, formed. American
hags, IN some cases as large as the
children waving them, were every

taSSels. No one was too surprised.
Often, on Pennsylvania avenue,
E, F and G streets and intersecting
thoroughfares the marching, shout
ing crowds got too dense for the
sidewalks and moved into the street,
bringing traffic to a dead stop,
milling around stalled automobiles
and exchanging pleasantries and
sometimes drinks with their occu-
pants.
Several hundreds persons stood on
the steps of the Treasury and sang
patriotic songs.
At the height Of the celebration,
10 fire engines and trucks responded
to false alarm at Eleventh and F
streets. AS the apparatus started
to leave the scene a score of cele-
brants clambered aboard a truck
and refused to get off. They stayed
on their perch for 20 minutes before
consenting to allow the vehicle to
return to its station.
Many of the automobiles crawling
along the downtown streets had
blossomed out suddenly with bunt-
ing and other decorations. One had
a long paper dragon attached to its
radio mast.
On F. street between Ninth and
Fourteenth traffic stopped almost
entirely for several hours. Street.
cars barely moved. One trolley op-
orator, stalled at Fourteenth street,
apparently thought he was holed In
for the night and turned out the
interior lights. His car was practi-
cally empty.

Mr.. Burson pointed out. Year after

the soil by the animals graz
ing the pastures and marketed in
the form of livestock and livestock

started for the new continent with a

More than 40 constitutions have

situations.

Parity Guarantee Factor

Another favorable factor today is
the fact that farm prices are guar.
anteed by the government. at 90
per cent Of parity for at least two
years following end of the war, a
factor not present after World War I.
But in spite of these favor
able circumstances, it is pointed
out that the large number of re-
sales (%one-eighth Of all sales)
indicates speculation Is influence
ing the farm market . that
twO-ffths of sales during 1914
carried a debt of IS per cent or
more Of the purchase price
and that in many Of these sales
involving credit, the farm buy
ers have assumed a debt great
er than the full market value of
the land four years ago . that
in many cases current sales
prices are higher than can be
justified on the basis of long
time earning capacity.
In South Carolina and Kentucky
values are up more than double
their 1885 : 1899 average, largely
because of tobacco prices. Values
are up mor than 80 per cent in
Colorado, 81 per cent in Indiana.
Arkansas and Wyoming. 70 per cent
in nine other states. Averages are
above 1920 levels in one-sixth Of the
states and equal or above 1919
levels in one-half of the states.
To combat these soaring increases
the USDA has named a National
Agricultural Credit committee Of
governmental leaders and repre-
sentatives of major lenders in the
farm mortgage credit field to meet
in Chicago periodically to plan curbs
on the inlationary rise in farm
values. But the question still re-
mains up to the individual farmer:
Agriculture. as measured by the
true dollar volume Of its physical
goods has increased from a $40, O00,-
0O0, 900 industry to a $4,000, 600. 900

ended January l. 1945.

Can't Judge Milk Cow
Bv Size of Its Veins

The old notion that a high-produc-
ing COW can be judged by the num-
Der and size of veins showing on the
surface of her udder. and those run
ming along her belly, has been tossed
out the window by dairy specialists.
They have checked on that notion
and found there is no significant re-
lation between the size and number
of veins and the cows milk-produc-
ing ability.
BY keeping financial and produc-
ton records, having a sound breed
ing program. practicing disease con-
troll, feeding high quality roughage
and by practicing modern manage
ment methods. higher milk produc-
ton can be secured. Ability to pro-
duce milk is inherited and the vol.
ume can be raised considerably by
proper herd improvement methods.

Skyrocketing Land Values

DEPARTMENT Of agriculture Of
- ficials and leaders in the farm
mortgage credit field are more than
a little concerned at the present
trend Of rapidly increasing farm
land values which are sk~yrocketlng
in much the same fatal pattern set
during and Immediately following
World War I.
Not only is government alarmed
over these soaring values. but pri-
vate industry is equally concerned
to such an extent that the Ameri-
can Bankers Association Is urging
its country bank members to follow
conservative lending policies and to
beware Of spectators who would
boost prices beyond what bona ide
farmers can pay"
As Of July l, the level Of farm
real estate values had risen to an in
dex Of 100. or a rise Of SO per cent
since March, 1941. as compared to
an index Of ITO in 1920 or a rise Of
IS per cent from 1915 to 1920. But
the end Of this increase is not yet
in sight and, with guaranteed farm
prices, return Of thousands Of vet
Grams who want farms and relaXa-
ton Of rationing on farm machinery,
these farm values may equal or
even exceed the boom" values
which crashed with such devastat-
ing effect in 1922 and later.
Farmers Remember Crash
Many thousands Of American
farmers well remember that crash.
when some 49, 900 farms. over
capitalized at high per acre prices,
went the foreclosure and forced sale
route. Then from 1926 when farm
values started to come back until
the crash year Of 1929 when values
again hit the toboggan, more than
800, 600 farms were sold under the
hammer of the foreclosure auction.
e and went into the portfolios Of
banks and insurance companies.
viii American farmers forget
the lesson learned during those
years and now, with pockets
bullying with money, bid up the
prices Of farm land to another
crash year?
There are some contrasts or saw
ing factors now. which were not
present in the last war: % in most
areas the level Of values started
from a point about Is per cent be.
low the base Of World War I; (2)
there are more sales for cash now,
about SIS per cent al compared tc
less than so per cent in World Wal
I; (3) farm real estate debt con.
tinues to decline in spite of soar.
ing values. whereas during and
after World War l.. mortgage debt
continued to increase.
In four years farmers have paid of
1916, 600, 900 in farm mortgage debt
and the total debt today on farm
real estate is S. 71 900, 900 or less
than half Of the all-time peak of 1923
when the debt reached $40. 1856, O00,.
600.
