SMALL FARMS JARED BEST IN
SHIFTING OF VALUES

In the sharp rise and fall of farm
real estate values between 1910 and
1880 the small farm Jared much bet
ter than the average. The 1880
census report for agriculture shows
that in every geographic division OF
the country the average value per
acre of farm real estate for farms
under 20 acres in size was greater
in 1880 than in 1910. In no area
has the increase for all farm land
been so great as for the small farms.
For the United States as a whole
the average value per acre of farm
land and buildings, as reported by
the census, increased rs per cent
from 1910 to 1920, and then de-
creased 80 per cent in the next 10
years, leaving a net increase of 20
per cent over the 20 years. For
farms under 20 acres the net change
was an IS per cent increase, and for
farms of 1000 acres or more the net
increase was only 8 per cent.
The general pattern Of farm real
estate values in 1880 was similar to
those of 1925, 1920, and even 1910,
although the level of values rose and
fell drastically. The average value
of farm land in the Corn Belt, for
example, has been higher than that
in the Cotton Belt for many years,
regardless of whether values were
high or low for the country as a
whole. In spite of this, however,
there have been many changes with
in certain areas.
Using the values for the years
1924 as an, index of 100, the Blu
reau of Agricultural Economics gives
the 1920 farm real-estate values an
index of ITO. From this point
there has been decline each year
until 1888, when the index fell to
rs. The index for March /. 1884,
recorded rise of points to 7e.
This was the frat rise aines 1890.

boiling is the use, of tincture of

Likewise, extreme care should be
