bracing some hundreds OF repre-
sentative farms in each state, the
average corn yield, roughly speak
ing, was under 40 bushels per acre,
the average farm price about so
cents per burhel, or $40 per acre.
and the average value OF tho lands
was in excess of 5000 per acre.
That 10 to say, tho gross returns
were less than ten per cent on the
capital invested.
Whom expenses we're deducted
there were few properties found
returning four per cent on their
valuation. and the average net WAS
within q fraction of three per cont.
Yet there is ready sale for any OF
these lands. In fact tho demand
far exceeds the supply. Cash rent
tenants pay eight, ten, and twelve
dollars per acre for these lands,
and a hundred acre farm requires
an average investment in tools and
horses of 81, 900 additional by each
tenant. There are thousands OF
