ARE AFTER EASTERN FARM 3.
With prime farm lauds In north cen
tral states advancing la value in the
past fifteen mouths alt the way from
Jlfi to $-10 per acre, n decided move
ment has set in along the line of a
purchase of cheap New England farms
many of which have passed hands in
recent years for n pood deal less than
It would take to erect the buildings na
them. There is one biff advantage In
these New England farms, entirely
apart from fertility of soil, which may
l bo little or much, and that is thetr
nearness to big markets and n large
body of consumers. While the writer
would not suggest the purchaso of
these eastern farms without personal
ly lnsHetlng thein any more than la
would farms located in Texas or Ore
gnu, he Is of the opinion that at the
prices at which many of them can be
bought they are well worth looking Into
