An explanation of the advance 1n the
value of farm lands given by the Drpnrt
mi'nt of AKilculture In a rt-cent report, anil
basd on answers to inquires, Is In-
tt'rpsllnf as an economic study of general
real estate conditions. Farm land has In
creased In value throughout the wliolo
(ountry more than 38 pT cent since 190i, aa
reported by the experts of the department,
and tills la such an astoundlns fact that
an explanation la Important. An extensive
nnd exhaustive analysis la made of the Bit
uatlon and many reasons given for the
unprecedented advance, which may be di
vided Into stable reasons and artificial rea
sons. Among the stable reasons are: Rural free
delivery; electric railways and good roads;
the movement of townspeople to the coun
try; the pressure of population and the
scarcity of free land; better and cheaper
transportation and market facilities; bet
ter culture methods, better fertilisation,
to. j
The rise la value from these causes may
be regarded as permanent and, to the ea
ter t to which they have raised values, these
Vaiues will endure, but other causes are
asKlgned. which may prove only temporary,
uch aa: A series of good crop years; tn
oreaaed prices for farm products and the
decline In the rate of Interest In farming
communities. These causes naturally fol
low In the wake of the other rauses and
re but aecondary. Insofar as values have
advanced because of speculative or seml
speculatlve purchases, because of tempor
ary plenitude of money nnd a succession
Of good crop years. It may prove a fictitious
advance.
The farmer has profited to a great ex
tant If permanent values have risen even
half of 88" per cent In five years, and prob
ably far beyond the Increase In the prosper
ity of any other one class of persons.
The Increase In values of farm land, by
ectlons of the country, has In five years
been as follows:
The southwestern states, 40 per cent;
western states, 40 per cent; southt Atlantic
states, M per cent, and north Atlantic
states, 13 per cent.
Measured by the crops that the land pro
duces, cotton land showed the largest In
crease, with 48 per cent; hay and grain
land followed with an Increase of 36 per
cent, and live Btock farms; 84 per cent.
Among the many problems confronting
real estate dealers and Investors Is the
great change that has taken place In the
retail and wholesale districts of Omaha.
Property In the retail business district
which was bringing 2 or 8 per cent a year
on the Investment and hard to rent at
any prloe Is now yielding air Income which
ranges from 7 to 25 per cent, and the sup
ply of business buildings for retail pur
poses la so small that several retail mer
chant have been forced out of business
recently because of their Inability to secure
suitable altes.
Contrary conditions, however, prevail
with regard to the supply of buildings for
wholesale purposes and a large district,
which was formerly the center of whole
sale activity, now contains many large
three, four and five-story buildings stand
ing Idle, with little hope of their immedi
ate rental. N
Real rsnte brokers and owners are Just
bcglnr'n.f to realise the fact that much of
their property In the former busy whole
alo district Is now on the market with r
visible demand. The cause of the vacancy
of so many large buildings suitable for
wholesale Durposes can be assigned to two
principal reasons, although subsidiary
causes may enter into the situation in In
dividual cases.
The first and main reason Is the lack of
trackage facilities, and tho socond Is tho
'haracter of the buildings themselves,
"lthln a tract bounded by Harney, Jones,
aith and Twelfth streets there are at
least eight or ten large buildings vacant,
which could and should be filled with busy
blves of industry In the wholesale oommer
I world and were formerly occupied by
Pleading wholesale firms of Omaha.
la said by many prominent real estate
lealera that these buildings are now vacant
because they are old and Ill-adapted to the
modern methods of transacting business,
but, they are also without trackage facili
ties Man of the Arms, which formerly
tocuplod' these buildings, are now oocupy
,ng new buildings east of Tenth street with
pur tracks built to their sites and other
flrma are planning to build or move to
more desirable locations, with the result
. that a large area of vacant buildings has
been made.
It Is reported that the owners of the
buildings are willing to remodel them to
meet the changed conditions, but hesitate
when It appears hopeless to secure tracks.
The building of aeveral spur tracks Into
this district Is objected to because It would
entail many grade crossings Intersecting
the street railway tracks with consequent
danger from collisions.
Some real estate brokers report that the
business during the last month has been
mailer than any this year and the most
unfavorable experienced for many months.
The remedy for the prevailing conditions
Is now in a fair way of solution, however,
as It Is possible that a concerted effort
. may be made by property owners In this
district toward the establishment of a
number of spur tracks Into the dlislrlcL
The movement has met with objection on
the part of the street railway company, but
It la hoped that these objections can be
removed by an agreement not to do any
switching of freight cars across the street
railway grade crossings during the hours
of street car traffic, all cars to be moved
in and out between 1 and 4 a. m.
Complaints are heard on all aides from
real estate dealers regarding the condition
of the market during the month of May.
To a certain extent business has been al
most paralysed, notwithstanding thut ex
tensive advertising has been done univers
ally lu an effort to counteract the unfavor
able weather conditions. It is reported
that the Inquiries from prospective In
vestors have been very numerous, but diffi
culty has been encountered In closing up
perilling deal.
Many new residence and suburban subdi
visions were formally opened during the
month and plared on the market, with tho
result that the sale were somewhat dis
appointing. Real estate brokers art now convinced
(hat weather conditions play most Im
portant part In their business and the con
ditions existing In Omaha have been dup
licated In nearly all other large cities of
the country. The backward spring has
made it difficult for Improvements to be

LOOK BACKWARD FOR WEATHER
Recollect Ions of Bygone Years When
Overcoats Were Worn
In Jane.
The prevailing talk about the late frosts
and damaged, crops was brought up to an
Interesting point on tho floor of 'change in
Cincinnati through the recalling by James
A. Loudon, one of the oldest active grain
merchants in that city, of the destructive
frost which visited this country on May
17, 1K9, forty-eight years ago.
"There are few who recall that frost,"
he said, "but I have a very distinct recol
lection of It. That season, or spring, like
the present one, had crops and produce
coaxed tut early with mild, warm weather.
Then came a sudden turn cold, which re
sulted In the blighting frost forty-eight
years ago. From tho Mississippi river east.
-and you must remember there was nothing
west at that time to amount to anything,
crops were blighted. Prices Jumped with
leaps and bounds, and flour was shipped
from Philadelphia to Pittsburg, and from
New York to Buffalo. Farmers, thinking
that their crops had been ruined, went Into
the market and bought flour. I remember
having an order for 200 barrels of flour,
which I sold at a profit of 11.50 a barrel.
After the excitement had died down there
came a period of excellent growing weather
and crops were resown."
The frost of May 17 was not the last for
that season. On June 6 there was a heavy
frost, and the river column of the Enquirer
referred to It as follows:
"The decks of steamers were ornamented
with this white mantle, which left the im
pression that even the most vigorous fruit
must have been destroyed."
The editorial column of June 7 said: "The
severe cold weather which was evperlenced
in this vicinity on Saturday and Sunday,
June 5 and 6. and which created a necessity
for fire great coats, has, as . we feared,
done much damage to the crop. We hear
disastrous accounts of It from Cleveland,
Zanesvllle, and other places where the fruit
was badly Injured and the young corn de
stroyed." By June 11 word had reached this olty
from Pittsburg of great damage done In
that vicinity, and the Enquirer of that date
carried the following extract from the
Pittsburg Dispatch: "Fruit Is seriously
damaged by heavy frost on Sunday night.
An extensive grower of grapes In this vi
cinity estimates his loss at (3,000. Another,
residing near East Liberty, says his apples
and peaches are mainly, if not completely,
