new HIGH VALUES
FARM REALTY PRACTICALLY
DOUBLES VALUE IN
FIVE YEARS.

Plow lands in Idaho have practi-
cally doubled in value the past five
years. Poor pillow land that averaged
$34 per acre in 1916 is worth $50 in
1920. Average good glow land in
creased from 500 in 1916 to $l35 per
acre in 1920. while the value of all
classes of pillow land jumped from
$35 in 1916 to $iO5 per acre in 1920.
Back in 1910, the average value of all
farm land was $4l.63 per acre 1t is
a record that few states can show and
indicates the rapid development taking
place in Idaho; according to Julius
H. Jacobson of the Idaho crop re-
porting service at Boise.
1t is rather difficult to compare
values by counties in 1910 with those
of today because of the many changes
changes in boundaries resulting in
the addition of twenty new counties.
However the value per acre of farm
land in 1910 varied from SO in Bear
Lake county to $l27 in Ada county.
Today the value of all pillow land var
lies from $23 an acre in Power to sal
an acre in Twin Falls county. The
