BEARD RCEIUCR TURAL T $ When farmers are making money on thelr crops the value of plow iand *uns high and bankruptcies are few, Reverse the situation and the bankruptcy ine takes a straight upward turn. That's what Is happening now, Farmer »ankrupteles are on the increase, land values are sliding down the scale due 0 the slump of agricultural prices since the war, What does the future hold for farm land owners? Is this the time to buy or sell? The Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foundation, after completing a survey of and values covering a period of sixty years, predicts that high land values are soming back and that within a decade farm land prices will again be on the climb, From the days of the Civil war to around 1900 farm land values showed lit- tle change. Land was considered a safe investment, Beginning in 1900 values hegan to rise; by 1010 the acre price had doubled. Still land continued to rise shiefly because of the advance In the prices of farm products, The war brought higher prices for farm products, crop values Increased, T'he result was a land boom. By 1020 the average price of land per acre was FOO, $30 higher than In 1017 at the opening of the war, Farm bankruptcies ropped from 2,000 In 1917 to 1,000 in 1010, During the prosperity period of the war many farms were bought. Dun ng the land boom It is estimated that 10 per cent of the country's farms shanged hands. Following the war the collapse in prices of gralus and live stock sent land values tumbling for the first time In twenty-five years. Average slow land decreased In value from an average of $30 per acre in 1820 to $685 In 1923. Crop values per acre fell from £36 in 1919 to $15 In 1821. During the past two years there has been a gradual increase, the average for 1022 being £20 and last year the average rising to $22, Farmer bankruptcy proceedings In the federal courts Jumped from 1000 in 1020 to 6.000 in 1028. More than Bi ser cent of the land owners In 15 corn and wheat producing states in the upper Mississipp! valley lost their farms. In twenty-five years the United States shoul + producing on a domestie hasis In practically everything, unless production makes material Increases People are moving from the land, Then the farm-to-city movement will reverss tself. Land values will increase with the price levels, Hankruptcies will de srease with the rise In land values, The present tendency in prices is down jecade. During this time land prices may sag hey may continue down for a d ronsiderahly nt with a return of production prices of farm land will go ap. i Outlook for Farm Prices | SIN saddiiacada dian iaiiiaal isi, pal Aha 4h figibbidiid Lg sillissdidiidll ® BIB IRB RIB ERs RIRIR TAIN Taw Baran wie asN - 1961 1967 1963 1904 965 1600 1987 198% 1869 1470 LST 1672 1673 14 1878 1478 LETT METH 167% 1680 1934 1915 1918 nt 1968 1919 1900 1801 182 1020 WHOLESALE PRICES DURING THE CIVIL WAR AND WORLD WAR PERIODS (FOR THE CIVIL WAR 1834 TO 18680 « Jo0, AND FOR THE WORLD WAR 1910 TO 1914 = 100) Will prices go up or down, or remain stationary during the next decade? It ygu knew the answer to that question and knew how to take advantage of the situation, it would mean money in your pocket, according to the Sears Roe bik Agricultural Foundation, Dr. G. F. Warren, agricultural economist of Cornell university, has collects ed evidence on the price trend to be expected. He finds prices are acting in almost exactly the same way they did following the Civil war. The price level following the Civil war continued to fall for 13 years. Dr. Warren belleves price levels In the United States will again act in this way, The present huge supply of gold has much to do with the situation. Great Britain alone hag sent to the United States since the beginning of the war more than $1.800000000 worth of gold-—nearly a quarter of all the gold money In the world. Before long, Dr. Warren thinks, Europe will take her gold back. Then prices will go down. BELLEFONTE LUMBER CO.
