RISE IN IOWA LANDS.
ICouncil Rlmffs Nnnnarail Il

Prosperity has smiled upon the
farmer, and especially upon the Iowa
farmer, and one of the most striking
evidences is the advance Of the price OF
lands in this state. Since the return OF
better times this advance has been no
less than So an acre and in numerous
instances sales have been made at an
advance of $40 an acre. Even at these
advanced rates the investments prom
ise to be profitable, and still further adj
vances are expected.
Many of these purchasers come from
the neighboring state of Illinois. AS
an instance of this it is said that in
the vicinity of Baskerville over !, 900
acres have thus been disposed of.
There are farmers in Illinois who have
sold heir own farms there at the high
|er prices prevailing in that state and
then purchased equally good land in
Iowa and have had left handsome
margin in cash. They can obtain often
what one acre in Illinois would sell
for.
There is no reason why there should
De such difference in the prices of
farm lands in these adjoining states.
While Illinois has some advantages OF
market yet these advantages are not
sufficient to make such difference as
now exists. So far as churches and
schools are concerned and the other de-
sirable features of comfortable living
Iowa offers as great Inducements as
does Illinois and homes in this state are
as desirable as in that, for Iowa is no
longer pioneer state but Is Well de-
veloped in all respects.
Time is rapidly bringing about more
of an equalization between the prices
iof the farm lands in these two states
and while IT Is possible that those III
Illinois may remain where they are a,
present or may decline somewhat. We,
lit is evident that Iowa lands will ad
vance still further and thus fill the
now intervening gap which is alto.
gether wider than the difference in the
real values.
