are in the discard with the hand
sickle and the fail. This has helped
to advance the price of -four.
The modern elevator is also fac
tor. Think of those old days. not
so long ago, when we put our grain
in sacks and by brute strength loaded
and unloaded it. Think of the great
saving to buyer and seller as a re-
suit of the modern way of handling
it. And l don't think the present
elevator man has as good a chance to
steal it as the little fellow had in
those old days.
The railroads have also helped
greatly. With their heavier rails,
larger cars, larger and more power
full and fuel-saving engines, they
have made it possible to haul grain
and other farm products to market
much more cheaply than in the past.
The first years that l raised crops of
grain in North Dakota it cost me and
others twenty-seven cents per hun
dred to transport our grain to Mime
apolis. Before our government took
charge of the railroads, it cost twelve
cents per hundred to get our grain
to Duluth or Minneapolis. Don't you
think this has helped to advance the
value of farm lands. l know it has
added many dollars to may bank ac-
count.
The cream separator, the large
centralized creameries or butter fac
tories, competing with the farmers
cooperative creameries, are in the
game boosting the price of farm
lands. The silo has done it's part in
saving what was once farm waste,
making it possible for the mich cow
and other stock to convert winter
grass, the cheapest Of all stock feeds,
into the highest priced farm pro-
ducts.
GO where there is a siIo on almost
every farm, a bunch of dairy COWS
in nearly every barn; a drove of hogs,
harvesting and threshing fields of
peas and corn, converting the peas
and corn into gold, silver and all
kinds of dollars by the cheapest way
that know of-go there and try to
buy some of those farms! You will
realize how farm lands have ad-
vanced in price in recent years, even
the rough, hilly ones, and you will
'also come to the conclusion that
North Dakota dirt is dirt cheap.
I could continue to tell of many
other things that have helped to ad-
vance the price of land, but my pa
per is now too long, so I'll just men
ton a few other factors. The fact
that clover alfalfa and other legum-
nous crops can be grown successful

ly in the Northwest has added greatly
to the value of farm lands. Improved
and efficient farm machinery has
done its part also. The agricultural
colleges and experiment stations have
been in the boosting game, showing
farmers improved methods of farm
ing.
Another big factor in boosting the
price of farm lands is ability to buy.
The farmers have been and are max
ing money. If they were not making
money, there would not have been so
many sales in recent years.
And last, but not least, comes the
cheaper dollar Of recent years. The
people who put their money into safe
ty vaults and sure thing low-rate in
terest bearing paper now find that
their dollar is worth about half what
it was a few years ago. The man
that bought farm land and farm
stocks a few years ago is now awake
to the fact that his property has
nearly doubled in value, while pay
ing out on the investment at the
same time.
