Land is being purchased as an investment. Insur- ance companies have re-entered the field of farm loans. Refinancing on the part of the Government and of large industrial corporations at lower rates of interest is a factor in other fields. There is a tremendous amount of idle capital available for investment. Low earnings in industry and fear of further Government regulations cause hesitation on the part of those who have funds to invest. There is a general feeling that land bought at cur- rent values is safe. Regardless of what may happen -lin the way of inflation or of control, land will still have to be operated to furnish food and clothing for a growing population. A recent report from the Farm Credit Adminis- tration indicates calls for relief from threatened foreclosures have diminished. The total number of appeals was 50,213 during the first fifteen months after ccmmissioner’s loans were made available. When it is considered that there are 6 million farms in the country and less than 1 per cent of the owners applied for relief from foreclosure it would seem that the distress was not so widespread as expected. Of course there were other sources of help. Many were so deeply involved that they felt it useless to apply for loans. Federal land bank bonds, heretofore drawing.5 per cent interest, have been called and new bonds with a 3% per cent rate have been issued. The new bonds were oversubscribed, indicating a renewed confidence in farm obligations. There is every reason to expect a further appre- in land values. Suburban or subsistence ¢ in demand from workmen in the city it possible to lower their costs of living hrough the production of vegetables, poultry and products and meat. Suburban farms which be developed into attractive homes by those ve capital to invest and prefer the country ded conditions in the have sl values within twenty to twenty-five miles of populction. There is also a renewe lemand f farms cn the part of those who have a farm background and have found that their em- ployment in too irregular to give them a sense of securit All of these groups a to these who normally purchase farms have brought jed upturn in land values. M. - s a d The Treasury’s Deficit. (New York Times.) The end of April finds ine Federal Gevernment with a deficit of about $2,700.000,000 for the current fiscal year. This is approximately $600,000,000 less than the deficit at the same point last year. It is still further below the budget estimates submitted by the President to Congress early in the present session. With only two months remaining before the end of the fiscal year on June 30, it is now practically certain that events will prove the budget estimates to have overshot the mark by at least a bililon dollars. If comparison is made between this year and last, in order to explain the improvement shown| in the Treasury's position, two points stand out as of primary importance. One is an enormous shrink- age in the expenditures of RFC. By the end of April last year it had spent more than $1,300,000,000, chiefly for the purchase of preferred bank stock and for loans to aid in the liquidation of closed banking institutions. This year RFC has spent only 20 YEARS AGO t was unofficially announced in | Washington that Germany had call- against commerce in the North Sea | and Channel until its legality had been | passed upon by experts on inter-! national law. The last night of Juneau's three- day baseball carnival promised to close with enough success to send the baseball season off to a flying start. Dr. F. M.
