APPRAISE FIRM LAHOS IN 11. S. Reason* F or Purchase Os Farmit Al Given Prices DiMqwd VrbatM. 111. Nov 4 — For the first time in the history of the United States probably, the* value of land has been compared with Its gross productivity, over a 47-year period, with regional differences emphasised. The average American acre for th. period between 1932 and 1934 was warth the grass taeslpte from only 4 7 acres, according to "Gross Earnings as a Guide in Farm Appraisals.'' an article In the latest 'issue of Appraisal Journal, by Professor Stewart. The fact that In a period ot fall Ing prices of product* real estate become* worth the yea is value ot more acre*, white In a period of rising prices of product*, real estate become* worth the year s value of fewer acres. Bi ewart ex,plain* in terms of the economic lag "When product values arc high and when they are low in relation jto the previous year, buyer* of land usaally do not regard them a* peimanoietly so. Real estate is tscught at a given time for th* sake of returns to be received in all future years, especially those future year* near emrogh io suffer little discount when th* present worth of their Incomes u e (imputed " plowed trader as green manure will not be cheeked against their allotmen la Election ot the non-wheat allotment option disqualifies thst farm for 194 n wheal parity pay ment* and the 1940 wheat loan and c onservation payments on the I wheat allotment acreage are mad>* at the rate for general crops lbi stead of the wheat rate. Mr Gerhe stated that a farmer ' wh" failed io sign the wheat plait automatically takes the wheat allotment classification, aud all wheat he plants for any purpose will be counted as part of hla farm s wheat strange He will receive uo wheat parity payment, but by planting within hu allot meat he amy receive the agrtcaitaral rouaervatlun paymeal for wheat, and will be •Mgible for a wheat loan if it is 1 ifcrid.

Nov. 4 Increasing Injury to peaches from attack* by the hickory capsid has resulted in numerous inquiries at the Stale IGaperiment Station here for information on effective control measure* and ha* led to extenaive trials of various spray* At the prseent time a lime and sulfur combination is giving the beat result*. but a search i* being made tor cheaper and even mon* effective material*.

Injury may amount to a* much as M per cent of the fruit. With peaches growing near hickory tree* showing much more injury than those on trees further removed from the source of infestation The simplest and surest means |of control is the eradication of hickory tr»es in the immediate vicinity of the peach orchard, says Mr Smith, but many growers obiject to destroying their hickory 'trees and in such case** spraying I the last three wee ks in June- must lee resorted Io for control In the light of work d*me thus far, the I beat rraults have !»»•••» olilaleeod with a »pray mixture made up of 25 pound* eac h of lime and sulfur lu 10te gallon* of water.
