WESTERN FARM PROPERTY

A recent number of the Kansas Cap
ital contains report of the recent land
sales In the many counties OF that state,
giving the price Of each farm now and
also, In cases where 1t has changed
hands twice or more since 1895, the
price at previous transfers. From this
1t appears that in many sections the
market value of agricultural real estate
has advanced fifty per cent and that In
some localities it has doubled within a
year, and that as q rule it has passed
the highest mark set during the boom
times of twelve or fifteen years ago.
The movement has been especially
strong since last January. Hundreds
of farms which passed into the hands
of mortgages during the hard times
and have since been rented for nominal
sums or left uncultivated have sold for
more than enough to cover the invest
ments of the lenders. Others which
were sold for taxes have found a ready
market. Farmers who managed to
hold their land during the depression
are buying more now, tenants who
could barely pay rent are becoming
proprietors and new settlers are swarm.
ing into the state to reclaim the aban
doned places. Not only this, but 50.
gacious ca pitalIsts are buying for in.
vestment such tracts as they can.
Similar reports come from Nebraska,
the Dakotas, Minnesota and Wiscon
sin, and in this favored state the greatly
increased demand for farm property
and material advance in prices are
matters within the personal knowledge
of the people of nearly every commun.
ity. All things considered the wide
awake, up-to-date western farmer may
well consider himself among the most
favored of the sons of men the world
over.
