APRIL: 100 PATETTE COUNTY LEADER, FAYETTE, IOWA PACK FIVE Corporations Own Many lowa Farms Insurance Companies Listed 0,000" for Saln January 1 Insurance companies still hase a large volume of Towa farms for sale according to W. G. Murray, economist at lowa State C'ollege. A1 the Brat of this year.

over 4.000 farms comprising 1,3 million acres i were listed for sale, according to speclal reports from 41 insurance panies to the Inwa Agricultural Experiment Station. While a recent survey shows that these companies, representing practically all companies with Iowa farm land, reduced their holdings almost one-fourth during 1941, thoy still have farms for sale in every county of the state. Murray says. The Farm Credit Administration Agencies have only 669 farms remaining to be sold this year, these groups having diaposed of almost one-half! their farms last year. Corporate-owned farms are larger than average in size.

Insurance company farms on hand average 204 acres. Unless these corporations spilt their farms to make payment terms especially attractive, buyers will be restricted more and more to those able to make down payments. To the tenant anxious to buy a farm but possessing only a linited amount of capital, this presents a serious situation. Murray points out. Most of the insurance company farms are in the hands of a relatively few companies.

Ten companies out of the total of 41 own 85 per cent of all the farms. The concentration of farms is even more pronounced when it is considered that three leading companies have more than one-hall of all out of a grand total of 6,287 farms. WINDBREAKS ESTABLISHED AT LEAMON FARM, PUTNAM, WILSON FARM, WESTFIELD The Arst and most important step in establishing 3 windbreak or other plantings is to plant a live tree, G. R. Ramsey, Extension Forester of Iowa State College, explained to the groups attending the two windbreak demonstration plantings last week.

Mr. Ramsey went on to say that 11 the roots of young trees are dried out when they are delivered they should not be accepted. He explained that they should be unwrapped immediately and heeled in with moist earth. He recommended the making of thin mud to keep the roots moist as the trees are being planted. In planting the tree, he explained, the roots should have room to spread outward and downward without curling up.

Moist earth should be packed against the roots Armly so there will be no air pockets. Mr. Ramsay does not recommend putting water in the hole us this makes air pockets when the soil dries out. Winbreaks were established by Mr. Ramsay and County Agent Paul E.

McElroy at the J. Leamon farm in Putnam township and at the Mrs. Chas, Wilson tarm in Westfeld township. The demonstrations are a cooperative project between the Extension Service of Iowa State College and the County Farm Bureau. Only one demonstration per township is established.
