G ET-RICH-QTJICK schemes have 
been advertised so much in the 
press, on the stage, in the movies and a 
thousand and one other ways, that it 
seems hardly possible that folks may be 
fooled into buying a cat in the bag. 
However these schemes still exist and still 
continue to flourish, as is exemplified in 
the land-selling schemes being promoted 
in connection with Muscle Shoals. The 
real estate sharks have taken the oppor¬ 
tunity to paint a glowing picture of the 
vast city that is to spring up about this 
great project, picturing a metropolis that 
would make our greatest cities seem but 
villages. They picture the gigantic mills 
and manufacturing plants that will em¬ 
ploy thousands upon thousands of people. 
Naturally this army of workers will want 
food, say the promoters, and of course 
nearby farmers will have a most unusual 
market. Even the man who doesn’t want 
to get into the production of food will find 
an opportunity (?) to speculate in build¬ 
ing lots and residential real estate, mak¬ 
ing money earn money without effort. 
The literature that is being sent out 
and the alluring stories told by the army 
of salesmen rushing over the country 
seeking to gather in the money of specu¬ 
lators, are most unusual. They make it 
appear that the man who can grab any 
piece of property at all, no matter what 
it is like or where it is situated, is bound 
to ride on easy street for the rest of his 
life. 
When one of these salesmen approach 
you, start to laugh at him. If you are 
not in a mood to laugh, take your choice 
of introducing him to the dog or let the 
hired man rush him off the place. If you 
get any such literature, do not even waste 
your time to read it. If you are one of 
those farmers w r ho is fortunate enough 
to have money to invest, invest it, do not 
speculate on what Henry Ford or what 
any other man or corporation expects to 
do with Muscle Shoals. In this case it 
isn’t wise to even speculate on what the 
Government is going to do, for nine 
chances out of ten, the property that is 
being advertised is not near enough the 
center of things to be affected by the 
project. 
Whether it is in the case of Muscle 
Shoals or in other real estate projects, 
it is pretty poor business to think of buy¬ 
ing real estate or even speculate in it 
without seeing the property yourself. As 
far as the slick-tongued salesman is con¬ 
cerned, who makes a specialty of such

Avoid Confusion in Land Titles 
Warning! \ This article by Mr. Taylor should 
be of extreme value not only to the man who is 
contemplating buying property, but to the man 
who already owns it. Be sure of your title. 
American Agriculturist is continually re¬ 
ceiving letters from readers who find after having 
purchased a piece of land that there is a loop-hole 
in the title and ask aid in having it straightened 
out. 
Before you buy, have the title searched by a 
man or agency that is absolutely qualified to do 
the work. If you are contemplating selling, make 
sure that your title is absohitely clear to avoid liti¬ 
gation in the fidure. 
H APPY is the Bolshevik! Land titles 
do not worry him. All the land in 
the community belongs to his Soviet 
and he holds his share by right of the 
length of his whiskers or how loud he can 
yell at the Soviet meeting. 
What constitutes a clear title to real 
estate? Recent developments in several 
counties in New York State indicate that 
there is more or less confusion in titles to 
hundreds of parcels of land which owners 
have bought and paid for in good faith. 
There is a great array of double assess¬ 
ments, assessments made to persons who 
no longer own the land (some of whom 
are dead), sale of land by supposed own¬ 
ers when the land really has reverted 
to the county or the State for non-pay¬ 
ment of taxes, and imperfect and erro¬ 
neous deeds; all these things contribute 
to the leakages in county deed books and 
confusion of titles and tax lists. 
Some Interesting Revelations 
When the Township School Law oper¬ 
ated for one year, while it was on the 
statute books of the State, parcels of land 
were discovered in Herkimer County, and 
probably in others, that were not on any 
assessment roll and were not being taxed. 
The County Board of Supervisors, the 
Farm Bureau and others interested in 
the county reforestation project in Che¬ 
nango County recently went to inspect a 
piece of land which the records showed 
had reverted to the county for taxes. 
This piece of land was admirably located 
for starting a county forest. When they 
arrived at the place, they were much sur¬ 
prised to find a flourishing poultry farm 
upon it. A previous owner had allowed 
the place to revert to the county for taxes 
and had then sold it and afterwards died. 
The purchaser resold to the present occu¬ 
pant who paid" for it in good faith with 
good American dollars, only to find now 
that by previous entry the farm belongs to 
Chenango County. Among other sundry 
real property Chenango County owns a 
mill pond, a school house and several 
tracts of land which appear in local assess¬ 
ment rolls assessed to private individuals. 
Need for Thorough Clean-Up 
There seems to be a real need of a thor¬ 
ough clean-up of titles in New York State. 
The place to begin is to check up all par¬ 
cels of County owned tax land (where 
they can be found). Chenango has set 
a good precedent by appointing a com¬ 
mittee of the Board of Supervisors known 
as the Committee on County Lands and 
Forests, whose business it is to check up 
county holdings. This movement should 
become State wide. 
With present prices of farm produce it 
is hard enough to pay for land if there is 
assurance that there are no holes in the 
title. There is excellent ground for the 
employment of the legal talent of the 
country when the same property appears 
on the deed book of the county credited to 
two or more parties. Let us find whose 
duty it is to go to the bottom of this ques¬ 
tion of clear titles. —Charles A. Taylor*
