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
