Interesting Data
Given on Renting
Lands in Valley

Whether it is cheaper to hent than
to buy farm in this state is a
problem confronting the farmer to.
day.
Interesting data bearing on this
much discussed question has just
been made available by the Sears.
Roebuck agricultural foundation. A
government survey covering 6l2
farms in Imperial county on which
cash rents were paid showed that in
1920 the average cash rent was
$200S per acre and that the aver
age valuation per acre was $17S.00.
This means Il gross return to the
owner of l.3 per cent. In the ease
of other farms in this county which
were rented to kinsfolk, the cash
rent was $20.21 per acre, which
amounted to n gross return to the
owner OF 81 per cent on the rated
value of his land, which was $232.00
per acre.
While these figures may y,not apply
with equal force to individual farms
IN the county, elaborate tests in
most counties have shown them to
be correct. Furthermore, while it
is true that these figures are based
on 1920 reports and land values in
most states have fallen materially
since that time, it is believed that
cash rents have fallen in approx
mately like prportion. The ratio be
tween rents and land values given
above may therefore be- taken as
to the present year. State
and local taxes in most states, are
higher than in 1920, con-
the net retn income is u.s.
uallv lower.
What effect existing conditions
will have ON farm tenancy in the
coming decade, there is no forecast

the long run the rate of net returns

ELKS ENJOY PICNIC
 AT KNYG GLACIER

The Elks picnic at knyg Glacier last Sunday was an event that will not soon be forgotten. The party did not leave as early as they had plan ned, nor did they return quite as early as they had expected.
 The trip was made on the Hazel B. No. 4, and it would hardly have been possible for the voyage to the glacier to have been more pleasant.
 A sumptuous dinner was spread on the beach on one side of the glacial stream, while on the other side of the stream a black bear and her cub wandered around on a bank of snow and looked down upon the feasting party as though they wish ed they too were contented Elks in stead of hungry bears.
 A goodly portion of the afternoon was spent in wandering alongside the glacier. picking wild flowers, and feasting the eyes upon the beau- ty and grandeur of incomparable scenery.
 The party did not start home until evening. They planned to reach Wrangell about s:30 pm. but their plans of getting home at all that night were upset when they en- countered a dense fog. The Hazel B No. 4 was tied up for the night, and a delightful supper served aboard the boat with delicious ice cream for dessert.
 After supper the picnickers en- gagged in a lively talkfest until bed time.
 The party arrived home at s:S0 Monday morning all enthusiastic over having had most enjoyable outing with a slight tinge of adven. ture.
