Countrywide Land Boom Hit Highest
Point in Iowa Farms

The land boom that swept Iowa dur
ing the summer Of 1919 forced prices
of farm lands IN that State up to n
level at which 1t was impossible for any
hut the exceptional farmer To make
more than 3 per cent on his cnpitali-
mtion. and made II out Of the question
for large proportion of the tenants
Ia buy land on borrowed capital with
II fair chance Of paying out. These are
among the outstanding facts brought
out by an investigation of land values
In 90 Iowa counties, just completed by
the United States Department OF
Agriculture in cooperation with the
Iowa State College. In commenting
on these facts, department specialists
take pains to point out that the current
high capitalization of land in Iowa hns
been assumed on the basis of tile actual
sale of comparatlvely few farms (abont
10 per cent and that this high valnn-
tion Is not Justified by the earning
power of the land.
The investigation in question, con
Quoted 10y the office of farm manage
ment, yielded figures on Lila sales
made between January l and Septem-
her II. 1919. The conclusions drawn
are based on these figures. taken t"-
gether with data on farm incomes oIl
some 400 farms and with supplemental
data derived from farm management
surveys made previously by the Iowa
State College.
II was found that the Increase II

average value Of farm lands in the
counties In which the investigation
was conducted was greater during the
wear of the boom (SG3) than during
the 30 wears from 1850 to 1900. At
this rate the increase In farm capital
ization for the year In the State as II
'c would be over $1,000, 100000.
II the comparison Is made between
values IN 1919 and 1920, the increase in
values In 1919 and 1920, the increase in
State nearly $4,OO0,O00, 1000.
In discussing this increase, Dr. L. G.
Gray, who he'd charge os the investi-

The fact that current prices Of

by the relative financial disadvantage
