Will Land Prices Go Lower?

There are some folks who are .lwevs
looking for the worst to happen. In
stead of getting hit with a brick wher
they walk under scaffold they expect
the whole side of the building to fall
on them. If they 60 anywhere or do
anything they expect something awful
to occur. If they or anyone else bays
anything or sells anything, they or some
on else has g ttep bea utifuly soaked.
They either sold too cheap or paid too
much.
1t is men OF this kind who are now
looking for land to go lower in price.
They go on the theory that all that goes
up must come down. Going up to stay
upis something they cannot understand.
Some OF the men of this way of think
ing have looked for lower land values
eve, since prices went above the govern
ment sale price OF $3.50 an acre.
A common argument made now is that
land cannot be- bough, 50 regular rate
Of interest can be made on the invest

an acre means Sc year just for the in
