pare the farm with those we
have seen In the Fort Collins.
Greeley andLongmont districts
and also with others in the
State Of Iowa, our judgment is
that the Monte Vista farm
would be the best buy-the
best barxain-the most profit
able investment, even il the
price had been $25O.OO per
acre.
We think the land owners in
this farming district should
consider carefully and thought
fully about these advancing
land values before pricing
their property. Even if you've
got a profit of twenty-five dol
lars an acre in your land at the
other fellows ofer-what
does that amount to if you've
got to pay $4,000 to $4,000
more an acre to get another
place as good?
In conversation with farm
ers of other agricultural Sec
tions We have told them about
the productive field pea crop,
the yield Of 100 to 200 sacks
of potatoes per acre, the 25 to
35 bushels of wheat grown on
an acre, the two cuttings of al
falfa each year, the crops of
oats, rye and barley, the rails
ing and fattening Of lambs and
hogs and about the healthful-
ness and attractiveness of the
valley, and then they ask me
the price of land. l always re-
ply that land can be bought at
prices ranging from $500 to
$4,000, and invariably they
want to know why prices are
so low.
To the farmer residing in
these other districts where the
prices have advanced and good
land sells at prices from $ZOO.-
90 to 100000 an acre, they SIM
ply cannot believe that the SIS
to $4,000 land can be so pro-
ductive or profitable. And we
sincerely believe that many in
vestors are kept away from the
valley by our low prices. They
reason that if those farms were
as productive as the farms in
other sections, the prices would
be just as high, and many will
not even come to investigate
because they want the best. So
don't let some fellow buy your
home at a bargain counter
price.

Many conditions enter into
this subject of ascertaining
land values. Productiveness,
proximity to good markets,
character of people. progres.
siyeness of towns and business
enterprises, healthfulness Of
climate, purity Of water, at
Effectiveness Of general sur
roundings, and last, but not
least, the comparison Of values
with those in other farming
sections.
During the past year we
have visited n number Of states
east and south Of Colorado,
and also several agricultural
districts in this state, and dur
ing these trips we have had
constantly in mind the matter
Of comparing land values, "
and We do not hesitate to say
that in our judgment the ag-
ricultural landin this locality is
today priced at least, from
$4,000 to $4,000 an acre less
than they get for such farms
in other farming sections.
This backwardness and hes
itancy to advance land values
in keeping with the progress
and advancement of the coun-
try and all other business in
terests, seems to be a common
habit in. nearly every locality.
This is probably due largely to
the fact that most farmers pur-
chase with the idea Of always
keeping the farm-making it
their home, and they are not in
t!erested in either advancing or
lowering values. And they are
inclined to think that when
some one comes along and
buys a farm paying twice as
much as they paid for theirs,
!nat prices are being terribly
inflated. The danger comes,
however, when some stranger
induces you to put a price on
your farm home. He snaps up
.ne bargain and when you look
s around for another home you
nnd values have scared and
ssometlmes doubled since you
bought the old place.
