More people have gone into debt to purchase farms
during each of the last years than any other
year since 1920 =. reports the department of agri
culture The report further states that by November
land values had reached point SO per above the
1859 average and above 1920 levels in five of
nine geographic sections of the nation
Ominous words those particularly to the Montana
farmer who recalls only to well what happened to him
when the bottom fell out of land prices cattle grain
etc., couple of years after World War 1.
Definitely this is not the time to buy land whether
you have the cash must assume heavy mortgages to
do. Already there signs that it is only
ter of months before farm prices begin dipping. The
cash buyer will be wise to hold his money in the bank
government bonds, and the fellow that mort
gage should remember that debts have be paid with
income from bad well good years.
