WARREN COUNTY
FARMS CHEAPER
Lands Take a Big Drop Since War.
Bureau Making Investdga-
lions to Prove Reports.

Monmouth, Ill, July 1.-Prices of
farm lands in Warren county have
dropped during the last 10 or Il
months to the 1918 prices and in
some places lower values than were
placed on land in 1918.
A survey is being made by the
Warren county farm bureau. Three
representative farmers in each
township are furnishing the bureau
with Land values and when the sur
vey is complete the result will be
sent to the constitutional conven-
ton which meets again in the fall.
The men making the survey in
most instances the farm bureau
here believes that the report re-
ceived will be accurate.
According to the scale showing
the rise and decline of farm land
values prepared by Ralph Wells Of
the farm bureau the land went up
gradually during 1918, 1919 and 1920
and then took an abrupt drop in
1891. In some places the observers
declare that farm land will not
bring as much money now if placed
on the market as it did in 1918.
THE decrease in land values is
no doubt due to the decline in the
price of grain and CATTLE" Mr.. Wells
said today. This can hardly be
said of hogs at this time"
