At the close Of the Civil war, in COM

The author describes his impression
OF Boise City in 1855 as follows:
In nine days from Virginia. Mont.
my stage ride ended at Boise City. On

PLOW LANDS ARE
SOARING EVERYWHERE
Bureau of Crop Estimates Indi.
Gates an Advance Of so Per
Cent in Two Years,

When farm plow lands increase in
value per acre by onef1fth in one
year and by onehalf in four years,
something has occurred that may
be called a phenomenon" These
increases in value are Indicated by
the results of investigations by the
Bureau of Crop Estimates In
March, 1916, pillow lands in the
United States had the average
value Of $3.50; in the same month
in 1917 the average was $62.17; in
1913 1t was $6S.38; in 1919, $74.31; and
at the same time of the year in
1920, $90.01, building values in all
years not being included in the
average.
The average value of 1920 is 54 per
cent above that of 1916, As per cent
above 1917, 50 per cent above 1918,
and q 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
plOwland 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 ad-
vance in values are found in the
New England and Middle Atlantic
states. In the corn belt, where
values are highest, the upward
movement Is strong.
Among the states that have high
acre values for plow lands are Iowa
with $2l9. Illinois with $17O, CalifOr-
mia and Arizona with $13O, Nebras-
ka with $125, Indiana with $119,
Washington with $115, Ohio and
Idaho with $105, Utah with $1O3,
and Wisconsin. Minnesota, and
Oregon with s100. Irrigation has
made high values possible for dry
lands in Arizona and other states.
