LAND VALUES AND FARMERS

Will the value of land remain con-
slant as other prices fall. which
they ultimately will, or will the price
of land drop too? This is the ques-
ton that often comes up in discus
sing production. Many men give as
a reason for going to live in town
that they are not able to buy farms
and do not care to remain in the cou9>
try and work for someone else.
Farm lands have gone up in value
more in Missouri in the last year than
in any other year in the history Of the
state. They are fully $40 an acre
higher now than they were five years
ago. The average price Of land with
improvements is $104 an acre and
without improvements SO an acre.
These prices are at least $50 an acre
higher than they were in March a
year ago. Even the poorest land is
now quoted at an average over the
The Evening Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1917-1920, 1920-06-22

state of $50 an acre and plow lands
average $S7 an acre. Better lands
have risen more in value than those
that were less productive.
Z There is still some state land that
can be bought as low as $4 an acre
but the expense of clearing it up and
getting it into shape for cultivation
would make it cost much more. These
lands are principally in the southern
part of the state and are not under
fence. Lands in a section suitable
for dairy purposes sell from SIS to $50
an acre. There is still a little state
land in the northern part of the state
which can be bought and which Is un-
der fence but it has never been put
in shape for cultivation.
Land values have almost always
been stable and 1t is not likely that
there will be a very perceptible drop
in them now. The solution for the
question of high priced land is in a
better federal farm loan system. The
present system is too much for the
big farmer. In many cases he bor-
rows the limit. $4,000, and it has
been suggested that this limit be
raised. The small farmer often |
needs smaller amounts, but has not
sufficient backing or does not under |
stand the system, hence borrows none |
and gets no benefit.
Land values are likely to remain
he same SO it will be necessary for
he government to provide better
means for financing farmers, espec-
ally smaller ones.

THE SILVER MARKET

With the close of the war in No
yember, 1918, silver bullion was SELL
ing on the London market at 491s
pence an ounce. 1t had little more
than doubled since the war began in
1914. Immediately after the armis-
tice it fell in price as did most other
commodities, but by the spring OF
1919 it began to go up and rose from
Az pence an ounce in March OF that
year to S9k pence last February, the
highest price reached in a century.
The result was that the bullion in
silver dollar became worth more than
the dollar itself. Much of the silver
money was melted up and shipped to
the East.
February of this year, however,
brought about a marked change In
the bullion market. The price had
dropped to II pence by the rst OF
March; in April it dropped to Ga p"nce,
and in May to So pence. The market
is now about As pence. The bullion in
a dollar, which was worth $1.O7 in
February. now stands at between so
and 65 cents.
There are different reasons why tie
price of silver on the market scared,
but perhaps the best one is that the
countries of Europe had made many
debts during the war to China and
India. These were paid in silver and
hence the price of bullion went up.
The flow of silver from England and
America to the eastern markets had
by the beginning of the present year
begun to make a great supply of it
there, and the demand lessened.
Another theory is that silver went
up on the market for the reason that
there was so much paper currency in
circulation. This theory does not
seem sound because it cannot account
for the drop that has come in silver
in the last four months.
The attention Of the economist is
arrested by the fact that a general
fall in prices accompanies or precedes
the drop in the prices of silver. Brad
streets American Index number"
which has risen from $17.22 in March
1919 TO S2O.S6 last February, was back
to S19.S7 at the beginning of the pres
ent month.

THE SMITHS AND JONESES

Smith ranks first in numbers among
all names in the English-speaking
countries, although its rival Jones
surpasses it in some places.
The Smiths may feel pride of name.
Study has traced the name back to
the thirteenth century, when it was
applied to those engaged in the oc-
cupation of a blacksmith. Since that
time many political and social lead
ers have borne the name.
Always, however, the Smiths have
boasted of their cosmOpOlitanism. II
has been the name of people Of ev-
cry rank, of every station, of every
occupation and in some form or other
of every country on the globe. At the
present time there are four Smiths
in the United States Senate and four
in the House of Representatives.
There are twice as many Smiths as
Joneses in Congress.
The great problem of the Smith has
always been, How can the individ-
ual be distinguished from the many
others of that name?" The different
given names have run out and the
John Smiths are as numerous as can
be imagined. One way of solving this
was long ago discovered in the use
of nicknames. Some of these have
been SO distinctive and unusual that
they served the purpose exceedingly
well.

WRANGEL'S ADVANCE
PROVING SUCCESSFUL

Sebastopol, oct. l5.-General
Wrangel's advance across the
Dneiper is proving successful, in
spite of stubborn bolsheviki resist
ance and counter movements by
the bolsheyiki in the direction of
Pologu station on the northeastern
front.
The south Russian anti -boishevik
forces have not as yet felt the reac-
ton of Polish Russian peace
agreement (which il had been as
aurnaf wcn release sf4s'nt a'Iess
from the north FOR action against
WrangeD.
In the opinion of observers. a
successful termination of the pres
ent attack would enable General
Wrangel to retain his position and
resist for many weeks any new
bolshevik attacks.
General Wrangel realizes the
grave dangers ahead because of the
Polish -bolshevik peace, but has ex-
pressed the belief that any new
offensive on the part of the bolshe-
Wiki is months away.
