Altho the fields couldn't be worked
and the roads were pretty bad for COM
ing to town, people of the rural dis
tricts have been busy, nevertheless.
ANY one who will consult the records
I in county recorders office will read
i lily discover what the farmers have
been doing. They have been selling
and buying one another's farms.
On the closing days of February and
The first Of March there was a regular
rush In fling transfers. Some of the
transactions were large and not in a
few instances the consideration was
cash. Deeds for seven farms were re-
corded Saturday and twelve on Mon
day.
There are two classes of farmers in
Marshall county, as in other counties
of Iowa. One thinks a good time to
sell Is when land is high and not likely
to 60 much higher. The other real
ICES that the best time to buy is right
now, before land makes further adj
vances, As t seems pretty sure to do.
Therefore both classes ought to be sat
listed with deals they negotiate, and
doubtless are. Furthermore, very few
are selling out to leave the county.
b And the fact that every man who
can be induced to sell has no diff
Guilty In finding a buyer, is conclusive
evidence Ut an enduring faith that land
values will hold firm, even If they do
not materially advance. Some of the
large deals recently recorded are as
follows:
