Owing to Its Informative matter about Brunswick county ' it Lh being republished in fuU . here.) This article, written with direct sfereqce to Brunswick County, ill apply equally or at least in large part to many another orth Carolina county. Expert* iroughout the United States who ive made an exhaustive study id analysis of conditions have sen frankly stating that there ill not be near half enough farm ,nds to supply the demands that ill rise when the war ends and le service men return. These claims of a forthcoming lortage in farm lands are alreAdy sing substantiated. In any secons of the United States it 1* iw extremely difficult to buy * irm. In these difficult centers id elsewhere, inflation has al:ady set in. Farm lands are alsady 40 per cent higher than icy wete in 19U9. This is only >r the aveiage, in many case* nd prices have already doubled ! : near that. The return to civil fe of many millions of service io" o rrl man rrn erarl in rlofana* ivii uiiu liivii vngugvu in ubibiwv idustries will increase the deland for farm lands to the point here prices may be on beyond II reason.
