Discovery of gas on the fcirport property about a year ago was welcomed as a natural convenience for heating airport buildings, but the production increased steadily and has reached commercial proportions.

Eleven wells at the rate of cubic feet a day and more wells to bring production to 40,000,000 feet a day are under way. Three million feet of gas a day is sold to the local gas distributing company for domestic use and approximately 1,000,000 feet a day is used at the airport. The remainder is shut off for future use. Most of the wells are along the banks of the Missouri river which borders the airport on two sides. A test well is being drilled on the Kansas City municipal airport, across the river from Fairfax, in the hope that it, too, may derive an income aside from aviation.

Huntley plans to spend the win WASHINGTON, Oct. 6. "An increasing demand for good farms indicates that thinking, business-like farmers, believe that this is an opportune time to acquire high grade farm property," is the report by E. H. Thomson, president of the Federal Land Bank of Springfield, which serves the First Federal Land Bank District comprising the New England States, and New York and New Jersey, to a meeting of the presidents of the Federal Land Banks here with the Farm Loan Board.

"There is the further fact that within the last sixty days collections on outstanding mortgage loans, aggregating in excess of $50,000,000 in this district, have shown material improvement. While a very severe drought extending through most of the Northestern States seriously shortened crops in many districts the prices for most products grown in this district are promising. The dairy and poultry industries appear to be in a strong position for the immediate present. Potatoes and apples, two important cash crops, are bringing substantially better prices than a year ago. In one important producing district, potatoes are now bringing to the producer about $1.40 a bushel as compared to the ruinously low price of 30 cents a bushel a year ago.

"A very interesting feature of the demand for farms is found in the fact that practically all sales are mc.de to local buyers, people within the immediate community, indicating a renewed confidence on the part of those in the best position to judge. The industrial cities are very hard competitors with agriculture for labor in the Northeastern States, but there are already indications that the enterprising and far seeing young man on the farms are turning their eyes toward the country rather than toward the city, as has been done so much in the past ten years. In spite of the trend toward corporation farming in some parts of this country, the farm of the Individual farm owner still has a very real place and future in Community Club Meeting Today Item of City News The next meeting of the Community Club for making hats will be held at Mrs. Frank Warner's today beginning at 10 o'clock, also the Christmas gifts to be made at the regular meeting will be on display at Mrs. Warner's throughout the day.
