100000 IS
COUNTY INCREASE
That is What the Land has Done in
Ten Year-Big Fortunes
Made.

C. Il. Wilson, correspondent of
the Marshalltown Times Republican
who has travelled much over Iowa
and gathered many statistics regard
ing land values, makes the state
ment that the average increase in
the value Of real estate during the
past ten years has been s10,0o0,00O
to the county. Writing to his paper
from Iowa Falls he says:
In township of land there are
23,040 acres. Hardin county having
sixteen townships it follows that
there are some 36s,640 acres of
land within its border lines. 1t GER
tainly is conservative to state that
the market value of practically all
this land has risen $40 per acre dur
ing each of the last three years. AL
lowing about a township and half
for towns, roads and waste land, the
owners of the rest OF it ought to be
about s10,000.000 Weather than
they were three years ago. Many of
the farms, of course, have remained
under the same ownership during
this time and. the increase in the
owners wealth is not apparent, but
in some localities there has been a
great deal OF buying and selling on
the part OF farmers as we'll as those
engaged in other kinds Of work and
