FARMS OFFERED TO FATHER PENN State Officials In n Quondry About What to Do Concern ing the Properties Dozens of farms \ W ? //J in widel >' separated \\ \\ Parts of the State ft/ have been offered partnient of Agri culture for the use „ |W 7XnQQSK of the State and I' ,he "atlon in the ' a ' ,< three weeks. I xgdlelcSMCJOfc and if the present I rate of offers keeps! up there will be I hundreds of farms listed and the offi-j cials of Pennsylvania will have all kinds of propositions on their hands. In most of the offers the owners of the farms have informed the men in charge of the department that they will be glad to have the State use the land and buildings, only stipulating that they shall be In good condition when turned back. Inquiries made by the officials into some of the offers have shown that some of the farms are in a fine state of cultivation and that the owners are well to do men who take this means of showing pat riotism. In other cases it was found that owners were men advanced in years and who were willing to give a year's crops. The great difficulty the State will experience if it. is decided to take over any of the farms will' be labor.
