LOWEST PRICED LAND IN THE WORLD HERE The Salem Slogan editor of The Statesman has been say ing tnat the lowest priced land in the world is in the Salem district, considering its potential productive value. There are a number of articles in this issue that help to prove this claim; and theyyare written by men who may be considered experts in their lines. They are all worth reading; ; ty our home people in order to fortify their faith in their own country, which is a very good thing to do; by the prospective investor or settler in order to guide him faithfully; by any S one at all any where who has a stake in this section or may have in the future. No particular claim is made as to the low price of the bare land in this district Much cheaper land considered as mere acreage may be found in many countries in Mexico or Russia, for instance But the claim is made when potential value is taken into consideration And the full potential value of any single acre of our land will not be realized till it is'put to its best use. For instance, as shown by one of the writers, Knigfit Pearcy, beaver dam land here in this section is worth perhaps $100 an acre to raise hay on, while it is well worth $1000 an acre to raise cel ery or onions on. , The same clairn might be made as to loganberries, prunes, filberts, walnuts, raspberries, blackberries, etc., and as to three or four or five story farming in a number of com binations, as for instance tree and bush fruits and poultry arid bees. . And there is a great possible diversity As has been said and repeated many times in these col umns, this is the land pt diversity; and this is the country of opportunity. Salem is essentially a farming center? a fruit growing ;.nd gardening center. The greatest prosperity and growth of Salem will come with the greatest prosperity and growth ' cf the surrounding country . And that will come with the best possible use of the land ; with the production of the most valuable money crops on each " acre of the land; with intensified and diversified farming de veloped to the limit, following the slogan, "More acres and - more to the acre," and sticking everlastingly at it. - To the prospective new comer, the writer will say that a ; well posted man made the assertion not long ago that there are 100,000 acres of land within a radius of twenty miles of Salem that, planted to the right crops,: may be made pro duce money returns that will pay for the purchase price of the land each year. . That is a rather sweeping statement; but he proved it to his own satisfaction at least And that land is surely cheap land that will pay its entire cost each year. That statement cannot be made of any simi lar body of land in the world; and proved. And land values here will go increasing for generations, when the land is put to the right uses. For instance, filbert trees will increase in value for many years; so will walnut trees the latter for hundreds if not thousands, of years. . . , i .i v With proper rotations and renewals by fertilization, lanu will never wear out. The oldest land in the world in continu ous use is the richest land in the world; for-instance, in France and Italy and Spain. If this issue of The Statesman shall give a little more faith in our agricultural and horticultural resources to our home people, and shall induce a few people to come to this land of diversity and country of opportunity and be come booster for this great district, its mission will have been accomplished. v 'I BITS FOR BREAKFAST Land Is the foundation S S "b It Is the basis of all wealth. -Salem Is essentially a farming center, and the more the country prospers the more the city will grow. S Tell lt to the world: The lowest priced land on earCh Is In the Sa- .1cm dl'trlct. considering us poten ( t'al value. - V . S And there are a lot of out standing values that go with the low prices.
