Special attention to order
Increase here recorded of $l.1,32S,-
.'.000 represents an advance ol
117.4 per cent In the value of all land
In farms.
Of the factors contributing to this
increase in the average value of land
the most important is doubtless that
of advancing farm prices of agricul
tural products. This has Increased
the income-producing power of the
farm and correspondingly Inlluenced
the selling price or value of farm
land.
In connection with the increase In
the average value of farm land. It Is
interesting to note the fact that in
the past decade, as Tor many decades
previously, there has been a much
more rapid Increase In urban than In
rural population. The population
classed by the Census Bureau as
urban constituted 4t.3 per cent of
the total In 1910. as compared with
40.5 per cent In 1900. In several
states, and in many counties in other
states, there has been an actual do-
rense in rural population since 1900,
and In most areas where this Is true
there has been a remarkable increase
in values of farm hind.

The number of farms operated by
white fanners was, 1,422,892. or 8.1.5
per cent of all farms, while the num

slight Increase in the proportion ot

Hie proportion of farms operated by
them ten years 'ago being 1.1.4 per

proportionate number of negro farm
