PRESENT VALUES
CALLED UNECONOMIC

: In 1920 the census states the value
Of farm lands in Iowa was $6,679, ,020,-
SIT; in Illinois $5,250,33 ,752; and in
Nebraska, $3,33O,15O,18O, a total for
these three fair-sized states of $15,-
259,510,509, or 27.8 per cent-nearly
hree-tenths-of the total value Of
farm lands in the United States. The
average land value per farm in these
three states was, in 1920, SIG, ,536.
The present selling prices of farm
lands due primarily to speculation, is
uneconomic and constitutes agricul-
ture's greatest liability. Such prices
do not benefit operating farmers, but
are merely heavy and unnecessary
item in the cost of production. They
are increasing farm tenancy and max
ing it more difficult for tenant farm
ers to acquire tn ir farms. Such
prices are ba-ic reason of high inter-
est rates for farm mortgages. They
create huge "frozen credits" Of bill
lions of dollars.
Reduction in the selling price of
farm lands should be brought about
gradually. The federal government
by requiring that improvements, such
as buildings, be exempted from taxa
tion, or taxed at lower rate than
land values, as condition to securing
loans through the federal farm land
banks, could markedly retard or in
large measure stop speculation in
farm lands, and save small farmers
considerable taxes.
The National leader., 1922-07-01

g7WS7v ped; speculation IN farm
= credits must be stopped;
speculation in farm products must be
stopped; speculation in transporter
tion of farm products must be stopped.
The greatest of all these specula-
tions, and the most fundamental in
it's welfare to the average farmer, is
speculation in farm land, which af-
fects and is the primary cause of spec
ulation in farm credit, and hence in
farm products.
In 1920 part-owner tenancy, accord
ing to report of the department of
agriculture, involved 89,0OO,O0O acres
and nearly $4,000,000,000 worth of
land and buildings; while at the same
date full tenancy claimed 265, 100000
acres and nearly 24,OOO, 100000 worth
of land and buildings. This report
states that "altogether 354,000,000
acres and nearly $28, ,000, 100000 worth
of land and buildings were operated
by lessees."
Another report of the department
of agriculture makes it clear that the
rent of farm lands is largely deter
mined by the selling price of farm
products. The departments report,
entitled "Take the Gamble Out of
Farm Prices," states:
"a sort of three-gear system would
set a rent Of, say, SO an acre, which
price of the main crop is 20 cents off
after harvest, or be raised to $11 by
bonus if the price is 20 cents up"
It advocates adjusting the rent of
land to the prices of farm products.
1t is quite clear, however, that our
whole land system operates directly
against the tenant farmer who wants
to own his farm. In preliminary
statement on "Relation of Cash Rental
to Farm Valuations" the department
gives a study it made Of $4,000
farms whose schedules were examined
for the study, which although less
than per cent of all farms in the
United States, comprised 33 per cent
of the farms rented for cash. The
valuation of these farms was $153.67
per acre, and the rent per acre was
$5.45, being 1884 per $100 worth of
rented lands and buildings. The re-
port states:
'In the 20 years from 1850 to 1920
the money value of an average acre
of farm land for the United States
as whole advanced at an annual rate
of 2 per cent compounded"
TENANT PAYS ON
INCREASED VALUE
Discussing this figure which the de-
partment regards as low rate of in
terest, it comments that considering
gross rents merely, the land on these
farms studied was held on what the
English would call '"28 years pur-
chase" In other words, with this
, rate of interest, the tenant farmer
would for % years be obliged to pay
the owner of the land a large share
of what the tenant produced for a
Il value which the owner did not in any
large measure create. ~..
e The value of farm land alone, ex-
Z elusive Of buildings, operated by
tenant farmers on 2,454,746 farms
was, in 1920, $2O,637 100000. The
cash rent was about per cent, max
ing the total ground rent paid for the
privilege of producing food and raw
material for clothing, 1926, 100000

now. 1t is one of the finest addi-

it is hard TO find its equal anywhere.
1t is simply another one of the eleg-

Many visitors are not aware of
this walk yet. 1t runs on the west
side of the park, stretching out along
the cliffs above the beautiful Oenota
river for about three quarters of a
mile. The walk is built of stone
piers, with rustic walk, lookouts
etc. Two bridges have been built
one at least twenty feet above the
gully 1t crosses. There is plenty
of shade and rustic benches along
which make it most ideal walk and
resting place. To those who haven't

Tussle With His Twin
Nephews.
IF HE DOESN'T GET
HUNGRY LIABLE TO WIN
Lou Marsh is Also Visiting i'm Ore
gon And Has Been Catching
Some Big Trout.

B. o. Marsh, of Decorah, received
the following letter from his brother
Charles, of Metolius, Oregon last
week, telling about the visit of his
brothers Ole and Lou Marsh to his
home in Metolius. The twin sons
of Mr.. and Mrs. Marsh challenged
their uncle Ole to wrestle when he
arrived, and their father tells about
it as follows:
Metolius, Oregon, July II, 1922.
Dear B. o.
Am writing you to tell you the
boys arrived here Saturday evening
and they sure handed me a surprise.
| near fell over dead when Lou
stepped off the train. But it was a
pleasant surprise and | sure wished
that you had come too.
The twins and Ole started wrestl-
ing at eight A. NJ. Sunday. Are still
wrestling. All three still on their
feet, but all seem groggy, but are
still going strong. The Big Wallop-
per seemed to be all in at the end
of the first hour but rallied and at
the end of the first "a hours SEEM
ed 70 be winning. He is fast becom-
tug accfgfy Is--.rs-.,fe 70 WIN. Dettihs
at midnight last night was in favor
of the twins but this morning about
nine it switched to the Iowa Giant.
The country is torn up for miles
around from the feet of these ter
rible Norsemen. Have now changed
referees three times. Have the re-
ferees working shifts s hours each.
Intended to wire you last night and
ask you what you wished done with
your bet. But guess you still wish
to have it ride the way you placed
It. The Big Iowan has lost about
30 pounds | think but seems to be II
the Pink. Twins are still strong, ag
gressive and in wonderful shape
Looks like neither side could win, bu
all are determined that there vii
be no draw.
Lou caught two nice trout yes
terday and we are going to the bl
lakes tomorrow if the match ends
time. If not will postpone trip ur
til next season. Lou is looking nm
and has gained seven pounds o
trip. Love to all and write sool

of the tuberculin testing of cattle
in Winneshiek county taken up in

Equity here recently. In letter TO

Malcon thought the work could be
done here now, but letter received
by Mr. Gilbertson, July II, the de-
cision was made that no county
area work would be done until such

United States congress made some
provision for same. In other words
there is no money available for US
