Soaring Values of Plow Lands

When farm pillow lands increase in
value per acre by one-1fth in one
year and by one-half in four years,
something has occurred that may be
called phenomenon" These in
creases in value are indicated by the
results of Investigations by the
Bureau of Crop Estimates. In March,
1915, pillow lands in the United States
had the average value of $3.50; in
the same month in 1917 the average
was S62.17; in 1913 it was $685.;
in 1919, $74.31; and at the same
time of the year in 1920, $9O.O1'
building values in all years not be-
ing included in the average.
The average value of 1920 is 81
per cent above that of 1915, As per
cent above 1917, 80 per cent above
1918, and FL per cent above 1919.
Hence it appears that by far the
greatest rate of yearly increase was
from 1919 to 1920. To the extent
that plow-land values are related to
crop prices, this lag in the advance
of land values behind the advance in
crop prices is according to rule.
Values approximately doubled in
the South in four years, and that is
a part of the country where plow
lands have low values. They are
overtaking the higher values of other
States. The least rates of advance
in values are found in the New Eng
land and Middle Atlantic States. In
the corn belt, where values are high
est, the upward movement is strong.
Among the States that have high
acre values for plow lands are Iowa
with $219, Illinois with $40, Cali
fornia and Arizona with $3.50, Ne
braska with $125, Indiana with $119,
Washington with $115, Ohio and
Idaho with S1O5, Utah with $1O3,
and Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Ore
gon with 800. Irrigation has made
high values possible for dry lands in
Arizona and other States.-Weekly

The Moral Determinism of History

BY Theodore Chrstianson in the Dawson Sentinel
There has lately been much glib talk about ''the
economic determinism of history from who know
neither economics history. Those who have read
history know that there also moral deermnism Of
history and that deastc conceptions have often moved
individuals and peoples to take a inconsistent
with their economic interests fact greatest
toric movements have sprung from impulses that
not mercenary.
When John Brown made his raid on Harpers Ferry
he did not do it to make money when America inter
vened in Cuba her motives humanitarian
Christian nations went to the Holy Sepuchre
from the proaning hand the purpose
not material gan when Luther nailed his theses
the church door of Witenberg, he did expect to
corner a market raise FUTURE when Columbus set
sail the the desire to explore and
to discover not to gain untold wealth determined
the of his cruise when the martyrs submitted
to the fortunes of the rack and the they did not
anticipate dividends when Pilgrim fathers embarked
the Mayfower their aim not to improve their
condition but to gain religious liberty.
Economic determinism has been factor in history;
but the impulses that have moved to deeds that
radically changed the of events, have
sprung considerations that spiritual rather
than material.
In the materalistic age in which live with
only superficial knowledge of history have attempted
the dollar mark every act and effort of his
torc significance. Socialism, from Marx to Debs, has
sought place mankind the plane of the denizens of
the jungle and has distorted facts and promulgated
bolster philosophy that is found
ed wrong premises
God blew the breath of his spirit into the human
race; those who repudiate the divine in and seek
place beside the primal beast will eventually be
frustrated. Those who the finer qualities of life;
who reject love and exa who decy patriotism
gorify selfshness; who deny the right of to
possess products of his brain and hand
place human action the sordd basis of economic
determinsm will eventually discover the futilty of
opposing principles established and justified by
through the ages.

The contemptible Crime of SANDER

Malicious libel is hideous crime. 1t Injuries

Bodily injuries usually heal. The injury to good

and evenly that nobody can tell 1t has

THREE HUNDRED MILLIONS
LENT FARMERS BY U. S.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.--In the an
nuaI report of the Federal Farm Loan
Board it is shown that loans TO farm
ers aggregating 33s,134,D0O have
been made since the creation of this
banking system. In the last twelve
months the loans have been double
those made during the previous years.
The report states that the board is
discouraging the lending of the bank $
funds for speculation in agricultural
tracts. to prevent excessive apprecia-
tion of farming land. With this idea
in mind the board is limiting loans to
S1Oo an acre on lands selling at from
$3.50 to $3.50 an acre. Farm loan
banks are instructed to decline favor
abb eaction on loans for speculative
purposes unless the funds of the banks
and their bond holders are amply pros
tected.
