Reverse the situation and the bankruptcy line takes a straight upward turn. That's what la happening now. Fanner bankruptcies are on the Increase, land values are sliding down the scale due to the alump of agricultural prices since the war. What does the future Bold for farm land owners? Is thia the time to buy or sell? The Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foundation, after completing a survey of land values covering a period of sixty years, predicts that high land values are coming back and that within a decade farm land prices will again ba o* the climb. From the days of the Civil war to around 1900 farm land values showed lit­ tle change. Land was considered a safe Investment. Beginning In 1900 values began to rise; by 1910 the acre price had doubled. Still land continued to rise chiefly because of the advance In the prices of farm products. The war brought higher prices for farm products, crop values Increased. The result was a land boom. By 1920 the average price of land per acre was $90. $90 higher than In 1017 at the opening of the war. Farm bankruptcies dropped from 2,000 In 1917 to 1,000 In 1919. During the prosperity period of the war many farms were bought Dur­ ing the land boom It la estimated that 10 per cent of the country’s farms changed bands. Following the war the collapse In prices of grains and live •lock sen? land values tumbling for the first time In twenty-five years. Average plow land decreased In value from an average of $90 per acre In 1920 to $65 In 1923. Crop values per acre fell from $36 in 1919 to $15 In 1921. During the past two years there has been a gradual Increase, the average for 1922 being $20 nod last year the average rising to $22. Farmer bankruptcy proceedings In the federal courts Jumped from 1,000 In 1920 to 6,600 In 192S. More than 8t4 per cent of the land owners In 15 corn aud wheat producing states In ths upper Mississippi valley lost their farms. In twenty-five years the United States should be producing on a domestic basts In practically everything, unless production makes material Increases. People are moving from the land. Then the farm-to-clty movement will reverse Itself. Land values will Increase with the price levels. Bankruptcies will de­ crease with the rise In land values. The present tendency In prices Is down. They may continue down for a decade. During this time land prices may sag considerably. But with a return of production prices of farm land will go up. 5 R ia lto T h e a te r • H A R R IS B U R G B R O W N S V IL L E Saturday Saturday Barry Carey Gloria Swanson “ DESERT D R IV E N ” A SOCIETY SCANDAL’ Wednesday Tuesday in Dorothy Dalton Dorothy Dalton in “ A MORAL SIN N ER ” “ A M O R A L S IN N E R ’’ J u n c t io n c it y ■Sunday Thursday “ A N N A CHRISTIE ” ‘A SOCIETY SCANDAL’ a big sea picture An Appeal for Fair Play Subscriptions to ths Enterprise are due and payable in advance at the rate of $1 50 a year.

Agents, phone 48$R (Prepared by th e U nited State« Department of A gricu lture.) The extensive Injury unit destruc­ tion of tree* of all kinds during recent storms has brought many Inquiries to the United States Department of Agri­ culture regarding the proper method» to be followed In repairing the damage done. The following neggestlontf are made by the department. The first thing that shuttle be done Is to remove such large broken branches as are now, or may become, a, menace to life and property; this is. usually best done by cutting at the patit where broken. Attention should then be given to Injuries on the mein trunk, if limbs have been spilt, or partially split, from the- roedn trunk, all splin­ tered wood %'hout the wound should be removed ’with a sharp- gouge and mal­ let. If ’not ao situated that it can be saw«’ off. The »ear should be smoothed In ths manner Indicated In Farmers’ Bulletin 1178, Tree Surgery, and treated aa an open cavity, or as a large surface wound, as the case may necessitate. Attention to Brastohbe. Attention should next be given to repairing the Injuries on die larger branches In a similar manner, and last of all to the sma.ler branches.
