Farm Owners Want I To Till Own Soil More farm tracts were bought during the past year for actual farming than for any other reason, according to a survey by the California Real Estate association gleaned from a report issued by the National offices. More than 67 per cent of the purchases were made because the buyers wished to take up tilling the soil as a business on their newly acquired land. Next to farming, more farms are bought for Investment than for any othei reason. Flv of the purchases were made for as-semhlylng land on which to situate nn airport, a reason not Included in any replies received the survey last ivr.

Twenty-one farms were hought for hoirfes, two for-subdlvlslons, one for a forest preserve, ana only three were taken in trade. Replies were received from 78 farm land brokers submitting data on 350 farm sales in all. sections of the United States and Canada. An. increase of 25 per cent in the number of farms sold In 1929 over 1928 was reported.

The California dairy man is both a farmer and a business man.

He ia willing to adopt scientific! methods of conducting his business and he is willing to learn from those who have made a study of his problems. For instance, several carloads of cull dairy cows and calves were sold for beef and veal at good prices on the Los Angeles market in January by farmers in Fresno, Kern, Kings and Madera counties. Checks were remitted promptly, TO FOLLOW PLAN. "This practice, recommended by th annual dairy conference called at Berkeley by Director Crocheron of agricultural extension service, has proved so satisfactory- that dairy organizations in other counties are considering a coopera tivs shipment plan, whereby cull dairy stock can sent to th Los Angeles and San Francisco beef markets In car lots. Q.

E. Gordon, dairy extension specialist, recently advised culling of 10 per cent of th cows In California herds as soon as possible. "Culling of cows that are not earning their keep Is being urged by the United States Bureau of Dairy Industry," continued Greene "Several hundred dairy cows in the United States have produced more than 1000 pounds of butterfat each In on year, and many herds aver, age 400 pounds or more per cow. in average in iZ8 lor cowa en rolled in dairy herd Improvement associations waa 296 pounds, al though "the average for all cows In the United States is only 80 pounds per cow.

Prompt passage of the Keyes-Elllott public building bill by the senate would enable the department to speed up its plans much more rapidly than at present besides making available for this and other years an increased sum of money. The contracts that have been or are to be awarded this year cover every section of the country with the structures ranging in size from village postofflces to the enormous $14,000,000 building to be erected in Chicago. This will be the largest postofflce building In the world This program will afford employ ment not only for many thousands of men in the actual building con-H structlon but for many other thou sands In the quarries and factories. Besides the Chicago building, other mammoth structures, the contracts for which wl(l be let this year, include a $0,500,000 structure In Pittsburgh. 21-story $6,000,000 structure in Boston and a $3,300,000 building which is to rise on the present site of the federal building in Baltimore.

GIGANTIC PROGRAM Leaving out of the equation the $40,000,000 expenditure which will be expedited by the passage of the Keyes-Klllott bill for this calendar year, $10,000,000 worth of projects to go on the market by June and approximately $30,000,000 u.orlh between that.tlmo and October 1.

Last year's yield was the heaviest known on the west sioe. There were about 25.000 acres in cotton In the Dos Palos-Firebaugh area.

A substantial increase in acreage is anticipated for 1930." Flckett said farm land inquiries in the state hav increased each year for several years. "Interest in Miller 4 Lux lands," he declared. can be taken as a fair indication of the land market In California because we sell acreage for every agricultural purpose. -Inquiries rig agricultural purpose.

Ownetship of Homes Urged By Realty Head Money Paid as" Rent Ge.ls Full Result Also, Declares Wood. Arguments in favor of home ownership were advanced yesterday at a meeting of member of the Oakland Real instate board. Fred T. Wood, president of the board, in an address to the members outlined many of the advantages of home ownership, as against th practice of paying rent.

"Th modern American family." ha aald. "which Is considering the possibility of buying a home must weigh costs with advantages, and should weigh them carefully. There la a general notion that money paid for rent la money thrown away as compared with money apent for the purchase of a home. Such a notion la unsound. The man who pays money for rent buys with that money his ull money'! worth.

But th family which puts the same money into a 'home buys more. "Hera are aome of the things," ha continued, "which every family pays for when It pays its monthly rent bill: taxes, repairs and decorations, insurance, allowance fdV possible vacancy, interest on the investment represented In the house, the landlord's legitimate profit. "Now let ua consider what happens to the family when it decides that It will cease to pay rent and Instead begin to make payments on a home of their own. Wa will go over th list again: "The renter has been paying taxes indirectly in every month's rent bill. The insurance la required with a home whether it la rented or owned.

The interest on the investment represented In the home la covered Just aa it la whether it ia rented or owned. "The home owner doea not have to mt for the Dossible vacancy al lowance, nor does he have to pay a "heavier charge to cover whatever loss the landlord would sustain during times when bla prpperty lies vacant. "The renter pays for his repairs and decorations as part of his rent bill. Of course the family that owns its own home must pay this charge directly, but every housewife knows ehe can make the charge for repairs and decorations in a home that is owned much lower."
