Mogford. general man ager of "The Trucker and Fruit Grower, a Magazine for the Na tion's Garden," will be In Eliza beth City Tuesday for a confer ence with business men and other* with a view to the advisability of moving the magazine from Wil mington. N. C.. Its present home, to this city. Mr. Mogford had been expected here Monday, but advised that he waa unable to come be fore Tuesday. Immense value to Elizabeth City and the rich agricultural sec tion surrounding it is seen by local busineaa men In the establishment of a magazine of the type of "The Trucker and Fruit Grower," which until recently has gone by the title of "The Nation's Garden." Besides ifrovlng of much worth in | advertising this city and section. ; it would serve to promote Im- 1 proved agriculture on a broad scale, aud Incidentally would ! bring substantially increased rev?- j nue here, they declare, Buxton White, of the Buxton White Heed Company, is perhaps the most enthusiastic advocate of energetic steps to bring "The' Trucker and Fruit Grower" here. No other one thing would go aa far toward improving agricultural conditions In this part of the State, he contends, declaring that the publication is well worth the support of local capital. Mr. Mogford was with the "Pro gressive Farmer" for about ten year*, according to Mr. White,' and built up the circulation of that publication from 40.000 to , 460.000. He says he would have , no difficulty In building a large! circulation for "The Trucker and j Fruit Grower," with Klizabeth , City as its point of publication. 1 The magazine, though only a year and a half old. already has a clr- ; dilation of 8,000 and Is rapidly gaining In popularity throughout, the trucking and fruit belts of the) southeaster part of the State. i Actual printing of "Thf Truck er and Fruit Grower" would be letJ on contract, with local printing 1 concerns eligible, of course, to ] submit bids on it.

IIOVI.K |||j ?* At MtMMI New York. Aug. 10 ? Instead of seizing the old stampeding pack and plunging Into the frosen North, or saddling the burro and seeking the deaert sands, the modern seeker after sudden for tune Is cranking up the trusty flivver and running to the near est real estate hoom. Ho does not have to go far. for booms are reverberating In scores of localltlea In the nation. The method of approach may be dif ferent but once on the scene the tension and procedure at the real' estate booms Is exactly the same as have obtained at every big mining and oil excitement In the{ last 76 years. the booms of largest prepara tions on at present are probably those in Florida and along the gulf coast of Mississippi and Louisiana. South bound trains. j on which traffic la ordinarily light; in the summer time now are swamped with gueats In summer. Automobiles are congesting every Southern highway, filled with land seekers and land sellers. Many would-be investors held off laat winter In Florida In the hope that they could buy more ad vantageously In the hot weather Populations of cities which ordi-1 narlly drop 600 per cent after February havo Increased this year. Hundreds of thousands of, workmen, farmers and mechanic? have moved from other states since June to work in Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana. Streets, hotels, bootblack stands and park benches are cluttered with men ,and women selling aud buying lota ? fast. Owners of Mississippi coast realty are many millions richer than they were six months so. Between Bay St. Louts and Ocean Springs and around Lake Pont chartraln values have jumped amazingly and property to the West has had equal advances. J The booms still continue on the Pacific coast, although the new*' nras of the Los Angeles excite-! ment appears to have worn off. i/os Angeles showed Florida the way In high preaaure salesman ship. and the realtors In the: Southeast proved apt enough pu pils to outshine their Instructors In some instances. An extent of the operations In Miami for ax-' ample may he seen from the (act that July hank clearings totalled 91100. 060. 291 as compared wlthl 912.306. 789 In 1924. Other; Florida and Mississippi towfts have recorded similar advances, j The move toward the open spa cos of beach or upland la not eon fined to the 8outh. The latast ; boom Is bass ? drumming In the1 rockaway section of Long Island, I where special police were neoes sary to keep buyers and sellers from blocking traffic. For a timr property chsnged hands so test sharpers were able to give a bad check for a property, sell at a , profit, and escape before the bad. check came back. ! Other points of Long Island. N.} J.. and West Chester county are. staging booms of their own. all> being handled along the Florida1 'system. The writer saw a prop-! ierty owner of Long Beach stand, on the board walk one night this! week and dispose of over 9100.- < i00? worth of hla own lots within I an hour. In the neighborhood of Chicago similar activities are apparent un der prospects that commutation | service and automobile traffic will enable many now living In the city to move to suburban locali ties.

It Is estimated the promot ers, the municipality and other property ownera have spent 940. 000.000 on improvements. 4 Generally speaking, the real estate activity le doe to two or 'three factors.
