VALUE Of LAND
CAN NOW BE
FORECAST
Possible With Some Degree
Of Accuracy Up to
Forty Years.

Possibility that data can be Sc
cured which will enable scientific
forcasting of farm land value, a
possibility of import not only to
holders and to buyers and sellers
of farm lands, but to the entire
economic life of the country, which
is closely bound up with farm.
prosperity, is presented by DIR.
Richard T. Ely, of the University
of Wisconsin, head Of the Institute
for Research in Land Economics.
DR.. Ely, in a discussion before a
recent meeting of the American
: Statistical Association, advanced
the assertion that such forecasting
is possible with some degree Of
accuracy, over long periods, even
up to forty years.
Importance of forecasting land
value movements is emphasized
by the fact that a very larke
part of present economic distress
is due to mistakes made a few
years ago in estimating value
changes, DR.. Ely points out. On
the other hand, forecasting based
on as complete data as can be
obtained viii help the farmer TO
secure continued prosperity, be.
cause it will aid him and the other
elements in the economic popula.
ton to secure that proportionality
in production, which is essential
to prosperity.
There Is much to support the
thesis that the movements of. farm
land values are wave-like, DR.. Ely
asserts. He points out that farm
land values have been transferred
from one part of Europe to an.
other, and from Europe to America,
and from one part of America to
another.
These are the factors outlined
by DR.. Ely as those by which
farm land prices in America in the
coming period will be affected:
l. Potential new land that may
be brought into use throughout the
world, taking into account quality
as well as quantity. Rapidity with
which potentialities in Siberia and
South America and in the tropics
are likely to be realized.
2. Potentialities of future events
In Europe, in the Balkans, In
Russia, in the effort Of certain
more nearly self-sufficing with
~0SPOSt " AGRICULTURAL pEOuuctS.
3. improvements to be expected
in the utilization Of lands already
under cultivation. Progress here
has been so remarkable that we are
receiving an increasing food pro.
duction with decreasing expendi.
lures of labor and capital.
4. Potentialities of the growth III
world population.
Research in regard to what has
happened in the past should enable
us to find working answer to
the question of what rate Of
growth in population will more off.
set the rate Of growth in the i'm.

Ely asserts.

CHICAGO. Feb. 2.-The churches

earnest effort to lure straying
lambs into the fold--sometimes with
but Indifferent success. In compe.
tition with jazz all the strength
seems to be on the side of the

Illuminated crosses and figures
mounted on the tallest parapets
of church structures, and doors left
invitingly open day and night, have
made but little impression.
Churches and reformers are some
what discouraged, but by no means
ready to give up the fight. Where
fiery crosses, figures of saints and
open doors fail, the art in stained
glass windows may triumph. At
any rate, such is the current
thought. For this reason a recent
movement to flood-light at night all
stained glass church windows has
been started.
There is, it is said, in this coun'
try over 100000 worth Of beauti.
full stained glass windows, which
churchmen think will serve, if not
to attract people into the church
to at least send out the message
thereon.

Expects 1924 to Be Best Year
in History Of

That Lewis-built homes are be.

Manufacturing Company. Mr.. Zepp
states that the months Of Decem.
Der and January were the best that
the firm had ever experienced in
the Capital, and that, judging from
the present outlook, 1924 will by
far surpass any previous year in
both number Of houses sold and In
amount of capital invested.
In discussing local interest in
