STATE LEADS NATION IN FARM VALUATION Raleigh, April 2. (ΛΡ) —North Carolina lends the nation in its in crease in farm real estate values during the past HO years, accor ling to estimates released by the Féd éral and State Departments of Agri culture. An average acre of a North Caro lina farm real estate worth SI on an years ago is now valued at *224. California, in second place, shows an increase of !>.'< per cent. Curtis Tar le tori, Agriculture De partment statistician. said, "Al- | though exceptionally profitable j crops of tobacco and cotton have been a major factor in the sharp increase in land pi ices in North Car olina, the broader significance ol these increases must be appraised in the light of impending postwai adjustments in the agricultural pro duction of the area." He said that there has been a rise of 1 1 per ceo' in the val; e of farm real estate in the Unite;! States during the past j year, and five percent during the ι past four months. Reports show that prices of farm commodities and farm incomes reached new record levels in 1 il 44 and prospects for 1945 appear bright in most agricultural areas. ::h M - hero eu ι . e lc\ ee - 150 Forts Blast Tokyo Air Factory < .
