Delaware Land Values
Hit Peak In Mid '53
Delaware farm real estate values
doubled during and since War II but
appear to have hit their peak dur
ing the summer of 1953. Since that
time they have declined about live
per cent.
The greatest decline in land
values is in the mountain states
and the states in the drought areas.
Colorado showed the greatest drop
of 22 per cent, with Idaho and New
Mexico each down 17 per cent. Many
of the eastern seaboard states show
declines ranging from two to six
per cent.
Voluntary sales of farm real
estate declined during the year. The
volume of foreclosures increased
slightly but in most states
mained at a low level.

of the church record of your bap
tism.

the Korean GI Bill. Would I be
allowed to take a bar review
course after I complete my college
work?
A—Yes. On your application
form, list "Lawyer" as your ob

elor of Laws degree
Review Course" as your training
program leading to the objective.

and permanently disabled World
War One veteran who is receiving
