Farm Values.
Increased by
Good Highways
INVESTIGATION IN BLUE EARTH
COUNTY SHOWS GOOD ROADS
ADD TEN PER CENT TO SELL
ING PRICES.

Redwood county land is worth
from ten to fifteen per cent more on
improved state roads than on ordi-
nary dirt roads, if figures returned in
an investigation of farm land values
is applicable, as reported by an ap-
praisal expert of the University of
Minnesota farm school.
The investigation covering large
number of Blue Earth county farms
embracing more than $1,000 acres and
based on actual sales prices showed
that those on improved state roads
bring $21.92 an acre more than those
on dirt roads. 1t shows that the diff
ference in value increases in proper
tion to the distance from farm to
market, farms between 10 and 13
miles away being worth $169 an acre
if served by a good state road, but
only $78 an acre if located on a dirt
road.
Although the great majority Of
farmers have learned by experience
the value of improved roads, this is
believed the first instance in which
that enhancement of farm values has
been put down in cold figures in Min
nesota. The report is based on act
ual sales over number of years, aft
er differences in individual farm
worths, such as soil, building inn
provements and other factors, were
worked out and all reduced to COM
mon level. Yet all such factors were
taken into consideration.
The first comparison disclosed that
where the cost of buildings was under
$12 an acre, the farms were worth
$131 an acre on dirt roads and $153
on state roads; buildings at $12 to
$24 an acre Increased values to $152
an acre on dirt and $173 on state
roads. This difference of about $50
an acre in favor of good roads was
found to apply also in classes ranged
on distances to market: AT distances
of less than 2k miles the values were
$3.50 an acre on dirt and $100 on state
roads, and 21a to Az miles away they
were $155 an acre on dirt and $173 on
state roads. Weighted average dif-
ferentials, the report states, were
$24.44 on the basis of building inn
provement costs and $1S.87 on miles
to market. The report continues:
There are, however, 3,743 acres Of
land located on dirt roads and 1862
acres located on state roads, at dis
tances further from town than the
classes used in obtaining the $21.92
differential. However, when they are
thrown together so as to give enough
for a sample, the difference is only
$26 per acre, $156 per acre for this
land on state roads and $3.50 for the
land on dirt roads,"
The $21.92 differential in favor Of
improved state roads is further sub
stantiated in other figures. It is sug-
guested that while the figure will not
apply in sections where land prices
are lower or higher, the percentage
may be fairly used in determining the
extent that the better road increases
the value of the land. ut should be
understood" the report states, "that
the higher value of the land on state
roads is due to the fact that such

Gudrdsmen Ito
Play Gustdvus
Adolphus College
GAMES WITH ST. PETER COL
LEGE AND THE FAST ASCEN-
CIONS HAVE BEEN SCHEDULED
BY CAPT. FRASER.

The Redwood Guardsmen, under the
direction of Capt. w. A. Fraser have
scheduled their first basketball game
of this season with Gustavus Adolf
phus College for Thursday night,
December 3rd to be played at St.
Peter, Minnesota on the college floor.
1t was learned Monday from tele-
phone call from Coach Mitchell Of
Gustavus Adolphus College that the
first game with the St. Peter college
team that was to have been played
upon the Redwood floor could not be
so arranged thus early, but the Red
wood, Falls fans are assured0f a
cFance, to see the Minnesota State
Conference champions of last year :r
action later on this season. The
streng Gussie aggregation is figured
to have possibly the strongest team
in the State Conference this season
and is favored to win from the
Guardsmen in the first encounter, al
though closely fought game is as
sured.
Dates for two games with the As
tensions of Minneapolis have been
closed, the first game to be played at
Iuc ASCcIlSlOH I1dll, miHncdpOAS
Friday night, January 9th and the re.
turn game to be fought out on the
home floor either the night of jan
uary goth or 21st. The Ascensions
have without a doubt, the greatest
assemblage of basketball stars in the
northwest today. The team is COM
posed of such men as Foster Ed
wards, former Dartmouth UniversitS
star and high scorer in the east the
season that he played with the great
eastern university; Bill Wade, former
captain and forward of the Mime
apolis Globe Trotters; Carl (Fat)
Nordley. former captain and All Mid
West forward of Carleton College;
John Simmons, former All State Gen.
ter of Hamline University; Mike Hell
ler, former star of the Globe. .Trot-
ters; Russell, Maetzold, former All
State Guard of Hamline University
and John Murray, former captain and
All State Center of st. Thomas Col
lege. 1t can be plainly seen tha.
Capt. Fraser wants the best and that
he is not in favor of sending his
team in against set-ups.

the 40O-acre farm formerly operated

Mr.. Sawvell, who will be in active
charge of the farm, comes from Tor
onto, S. D., where he has been a
breeder of Herfords. Lende & Saw

Governor Urges
Citizens of State
to Buy Seals
LITTLE HEALTH EMBLEMS
SHOULD BE PURCHASED BY
EVERY MINNESOTAN, SAYS

Governor Theodore Christianson in
an official proclamation urges the
generous support of the Christmas
Seal campaign by the people of the
state. His proclamation follows:-
"The question of public health is
intimately associated with all other
efforts for public welfare. 1t is di-
rectly related to all such questions as
public morals, education, good govern
ment and personal efficiency. There
fore, every person who is interested
in the happiness of the people and the
promotion of public welfare, should
be interested in the improvement of
public health.
While we must depend upon pri-
vate physicians for the treatment Of
the ailments of the individual, and
upon the public health authorities to
prevent the spread Of contagious and
infectious diseases, any general and
permanent improvement in public
health must come largely through edu-
cation.
Eighteen years of persistent, in
tenslve effort has resulted in a Al per
cent decrease In the tuberculosis death
/ rate. Much remains to be done, how
ever, before this and other prevent
| able diseases are eradicated.
It IS iIRportant, therefore, that we
give whole hearted support to tbt

MANY DECLARE
HIS BALL DAYS
ARE ABOUT OVER
Yankee Officials Have
Great Faith In
Star Batter
BY HENRY L. FARRELL,
Omitted Press Sports Editor)

NEW YORK, May 14.-With such
a lato starr as will be forced on
him, it is Out of the question for
Babe Ruth to make n new home run
record this year. He may even fail
to land the home run title of the
season.
1t is improbable that the Babe
will be able to return to the Yam
kee lineup before early June and
when he does get back into uni
form it will be some time before
he will be able to bat In old form.
"I'll give any Of them hitters
three weeks start and II catch
'em.O the Babe said, when he was
recovering at st. Vincent s Hospi-
tai, but it was the Babes ego be.
hind his confidence. -
Officials Of the Yankee club
think that the Babe will be better
than, ever when he RECEIVERS from
the operation, as he has not been
well for several years and it was
know that he would have. to go un-
der the knife eventually. He had
hoped that, he. would be able to
avoid it until his playing days were
over.
Although he is enly.thirty years
Of age, there seems to be a general
opinion that sthe Babe will not. last
mora than a few more years ;3s he
uses himself so harshly. lie is not
as ffIggcd sas hos looks and he has
boen almost constantly NI and dis
ablHd for the last two years. He
has had bad attack of. the flu
every spring for four years and it
was S;the result of taking off too
much weight in the training camp.
