| County Farms
Valued AT $34.66
An Acre In Report
1947 Price Level
Below That Of
Increase In 1920

Farm land values in Noble county
now pegged at $34.66 an acre on
the average, are below the all-time
peak reached in 1920, according to
report on the Ohio farm real estate
situation made by rural economists
at the Ohio Experiment Station.
Stimulated by record rise of
farm products prices and farm in
come, these rural economists, II. r.
Moore and r. c. Headington, found
that farm real estate prices in the
spring of 1947 failed to top the
prices in the spring of 1920, the pre-
vious high level.
Land values in Noble county have
risen steadily from $13 in 1856 when
Ohio had only 1,980,329 people, 299
miles of railroads, and much lands,
particularly in northwestern Ohio
had not been cleared from the for
est. Subsequent changes in values
have come partly from nearly a
century of economic and social de-
velopments-both rural and urban
and partly from changes in the gen.
eral level of prices.
This latter influence caused land
values in Noble county to decline
from about $35 in 1880 to $27 in
1900, to rise to a peak of $50.41 in
1920, to decline again to $2397 in
1885, to recover gradually to $25.65
in 1910 and to rise rapidly there
after.
Analysis of individual sales in
dicates the following:
l. Land classed as having average
or lower productivity has increased
in price relatively more during the
past six years than more productive
land.
2. Land with fair or good build
ings has advanced relatively more in
price than land with poor buildings,
particularly since 1914.
3. Smaller tracts of land have ad-
vanced relatively more on price than
large farms since 1914.
Presumably the latter two tend
encies are the result of the general
building shortage and the associated

Output OF 10000 Cars In
Six Months Scheduled

Willow Run, Mich.-The output of
$4,000 automobiles by Kaiser-FraZer
Corp, during the last half of 1917
barring basic material supply short
ages-was forecast this week by Ed
gar F. Kaiser, vice president and
general manager, in mid-year
resume of Kaiser-Frazer's produc-
ton progress.
Mr.. Kaiser, who announced that
Kaiser Frazer produced a new
monthly high of 12,0S9 cars in June,
said that the company earned sub
stantial profit in the quarter ended
June 80. Sales approximated $22,-
100000 as compared with $11, ZOO
600 for the entire year of 1946, he
said.
The company's June output, which
represented a 16 per cent increase
over the May figure of 10,387, was
exceeded in volume only by the
industry's big Three"
Production of the Kaiser, Frazer
and Frazer Manhattan automobiles
totaled 49,203 in the first six months
of this year, Mr.. Kaiser said.
Scheduling of 10000 units for the
balance of the year has been made
possible by increased supplies Of
raw materials and engines obtained
throl gh subsidiary companies which
have been acquired by Kaiser-Fra-
ger, he explained.
He reported that the company this
month completed stocking of service
parts among its lac distribution
centers throughout the United States
to insure prompt servicing of the
more than $4,000 Kaisers, Frazers
and Manhattans which are now in
the hands of private owners.

milk to be bottled.
Better profits in other types of
farming induced farmers to cut costs
of milk production in war years by
having cows freshen so the big milk
flow was obtained on pasture. That
system reduces the amount of milk
from herds during fall and winter
when production costs are highest.
Dropping prices paid to farmers
for milk now have reached a level
that threatens to bring down total
milk produced throughout the year.
Mr.. Christian expects rise in milk
prices when the supply decreases IN
midsummer; but he does not expect
the increase will restore the $102 a
hundredweight decline in condens-
cry prices and the $128 drop in fluid
milk since November, 1916.
Mr.. Christian claims more day by
day drudgery and more capital in
vestment is required to produce a
dollars worth of milk than to pro-
duce the same money value of other
farm products. Farmers are not
clock watchers nor vacation hunters
but they see no merit in continuing
to produce one article of food when
consumers make other articles more
profitable.
The University marketing special
list declares that only high con-
sumner income and willingness to
pay dairymen a fair profit on milk
production can maintain a sufficient
year-round milk supply. Floor prices
give the farmer some security but
do not make him rich, and foreign
demand for processed milk provides
market channel for only a small
part of u. S. milk.

demand for small acreages by
people interested in urban as well
as farm employment.
When all circumstances are taken
into account the 1947 average land
prices in those counties where large
sized farms are typical are consid-
erably below the average prices pre-
vailing in 1920. In counties contain
ing many small farms, particularly
if urban influences are strong, aver
age prices are now as high and in
some counties higher than in 1920.
As general proposition farm real
estate prices follow the lead oi
farm product prices and income, the
two rural economists point out, and
land value at any give time tend to
be compromise between the cur
rent and the anticipated longtime
earnings of the land.
Farm real estate prices are now
for all practical purposes on the
same level and product prices are
higher than in 1920.
Because present price supporting
factors appear stronger than in the
post War / period, it may occur that

peat the abrupt decline experienced
in 1921, the report states.
The information in the report was
derived from study of actual sales
of farm real estate made by the De-
partment of Rural Economics at
Ohio State University, and the fed
eral Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomicS.
An analysis of this field work in
dicates that the index numbers of
Ohio farm real estate prices ad-
vanced 30.57 percent from 1945 to
1947.
Applying the state average rate of
increase to 1945 census value of
Noble county indicates many large
farms, the 1947 average price is
somewhat below the price in 1920.
This further indicates what has
been shown by actual sales; large
farms have not advanced in price
as much as small farms.

USCGS MENDOZA AT SEA,
NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN, June
1.-THE Mendoza reports the con-
clusion Of her search for the ice
berg now dubbed "Dumbo" Gin a
position about 1900 miles due east
of New York City,. On two oc-
castons a patrol plane was dis
patched from Acgentia, Newfound-
land, to aid in the search, but
all results we're negative. The
elusive iceberg, when reported by
the SIS ESQ GLASGOW, was .esti-
mated to be so feet high and 200
feet long.
The position given was directly
in the North Atlantic steamer
track. Because of the high sea
and air temperatures encountered
in this area, and because of the
many ships in the steamer lanes
none of which reported the berg,
it appears now that the berg has
broken up and melted or that il
was a case of mistaken identity in
a fog and that it never existed.
The Mendoza has been ordered
to return to Argentia to refuel and
to continue on the interrupted
