Farm Conditions Painted Too Black Claim of Realtor Majority of Agriculturists' on Sound Basis and Making Money, Omahan Declares. The greatest calamity that has be 'allen the farmer In the last three years, according to Mr. Martin, vice president of the Omaha real estate board. Is that he has been compelled | to listen, morning, noon and night „ to advice and criticism from the city Me, the hanker, the merchant, the jijfchf'r, the baker,—who knew what {■Be the matter but never seemed qilte willing to demonstrate Just how the agricultural Industry should toe conducted. Mr. Martin, In a talk to the real ■estate hoard, said the farmer le get ting sick and tired of reading state ments from financial and other busi ness men about "how hard up the _ farmer le.” ‘‘The farmers," Martin said, "with the exception of maybe 5 per cent of them, are getting along all right. They are making money, and will continue to make money If the finan cial men and the politicians will let them alone. "Agriculture’s position Is much •ounder than that of the other in dustries which are still endeavoring ot maintain themselves on wartime capitalizations and at boom prices and costs. “It la the soundest Industry In the country today, carrying a smaller in debtedness, paying a better average* dividend and possessing a greater ele ment of safety than any other equally large business enterprise. "Only one essential element went out of the agricultural Industry dur ing the lata depression,” he said. "That element was confidence. This, however. Is returning and becoming stronger every day. People have be gun to realize that every ton of ore removed from the mine, every tree out from the forest, diminishes the value of the remaining property; but the farm properly handled can yield It* bounty and at the earns time be come more valuable from year to year."

A recent editorial In the New York Times refers to the realtor as one of two truly American artists. The Times editorial Is based upon the opinions of two Frenchmen, Gen eral Gouraud, the Argonne hero, and the diplomat, De Lignereux. A copy of this editorial, which In reality refers to the realtor who sub divides residential property, has been sent to I. Shuler, Omaha realtor, who Is chairman of the home builders and subdividers division of the National Association of Kc-al Estate Boards. The editorial, using an opinion giv en by the diplomat In a book pub lished by him a few years ago, says: "It was his opinion that, though America had achieved creditable Imi tations of European music, European literature and European painting, the only truly native arts were the Indian hasketwork of the southwest and the domestic architecture of city sub urbs.” The Times points out, "And the artist Is none other than our old and daring friend, the realtor. They say the pioneer spirit has passed from America. Yet, what else Is It that In spires a man to stand upon a barren flat and see It blossoming like a rose with sturoo bungalows, flipped lawns, etc. Nature, to the realtor. Is merely the spot upon which residen tial developments can be planted.” An interview from General Gour aud Is quoted as follows: "It Is the fine open *p«ce around the little home* that I like. No walla that ■hut off the private garden from the public view; here we drive for mile* and mile* through pretty afreets, each house contributing lta garden for the enjoyment of all."
