withstanding the fact that Hi
nois and Iowa land is supposed to be
richer and more fertile than land in
New York, some interesting facts have
been noticed in reference to the crop
production in the three states On the
basis Of figures compiled in 1905 it was
found that the average value of land
in New York was SALT per acre, in
Illinois S74.32 per acre and in Iowa
$57.97 per acre. Notwithstanding this
average valuation of land. the crop re-
turn per acre in New York for the ten
years prior to 1908 was S19.42. in Hi
nois S1G.70 and in Iowa $13.96. The
average land values as well as crop re-
turns for the past five years would
doubtless show a variation from the
above figures, but ii is quite likely that
the ratio would be about the same.
There is something in the figures given
worth thinking about.
