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

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.
