an advance of 117.4 per cent in the

or the factors contributing to this
Increase in the average value of land
the most important Is doubtless that
of advancing farm prices Of agricultu-
raj products This has increased the
income-producing power OF the farm
and correspondingly Influenced the
selling price or value of farm land 1t
is probable also that in calculating
the value OF farm lands 1t has become
customary to capitalize the income
producing power at a lower rate of in
terest than formerly This might be
true. despite the fact that interest
rates In general have probably not
fallen. because of the reduction In the
risk Of the farming business
Another important factor operative
in increasing the total and average
value Of farm land throughout the
United States has been the cost OF i'm
proving what was previously unim-
proved land.
In connection with the increase In
the average value OF farm land. 1t is
interesting to note the fact that in

more rapid increase in urban than In
