SOME LASDS HERE THAT HAVE WETTED
THEIR SELLING VALUE I
Others That Will Net $150 a Year, Though Their Selling: Val
ue Is Around $256 an Acre irrigation Systems in Hop
"arris That Have Paid for Themselves in One Season With
increased Net Returns
Editor Statesman:
What is the trne value of asrl
cultural land? This question has
provoked much discussion-, partic
ularly in the west, where land
prices have not reached, the - sta
bility which marks prices of lands
in the more thickly settled and
older communities. However,-the
true value of agricultural land Is
the amount per acre- upon . which
it will return a fair rate of inter
est. It is difficult to compare returns
from agricultural pursuits with
salaries paid in the cities. A salar
ied man receiving $3,000 per year
generally winds up the year with
no balance left in the bank. He has
used up his entire income on liv
ing expenses. On the other hand
the farmer who winds up the year,
witn a Dana Daiance oi iuv is
pretty apt to figure that this rep
resents the year's income from the
ranch. It is the certainty with
which the farmer can depend upon
the $100 balance on the right side
of the ledger which makes farm
ing a success or a failure.
Two elements generally govern
this balance crops and markets.
These in turn govern the price of
the land. Perhaps the best estab
lished land prices in the vicinity
of Salem are those lands lying in
what is known as Lake Labis h, a
few miles north of the city. In
thinking of the value of Lake La
bish lands, people have become ac
customed to thinking of $1,000 per
acre. Based upon the capitalization
of the average net returns per acre,
the value of these lands would ex
ceed considerably $1,000 per acre.
Net Over f lOOO an Acre
In fact there are many Incidents
when the net returns from these
lands nave exceeded $1,000 per
acre. The production of a good
crop each year on Lake Labish is
practically assured, as the lands
are irrigated by pumping or by sub
irrigation from the drainage can
al, and the, moisture which Is gen
erally the controlling element in a
crop production during the months
of Jnne, July and August is under
the control of the farmer.
Land values for small tracts In
the Irrigation project at West Stay
ton are fairly well established 'at
$250 per acre for land and water
rights. The ' question is, can the
owner of such lands, pay interest
on this investment?
Aet Retwms Over SI SO An Acre
The land produces from four to
eight tons of string beans per
acre which are contracted with
the Oregon Packing company and
the Stayton Canning company at
$75 per ton. It costs $25 per ton
THIS WEEK'S SLOGAN
DID YOU KNOW That the cheapest lands on earth are
here in the Salem district; that you can buy good farm
lands here Cor less than $100 an acre; less than it costs
to provide for irrigation in many project; lands that
are as rich as those of the Nile valley ; that you can bay
lands here, and, by the best farming methods, make
them pay their original cost every year; and, with nut
culture, you can make them pay several times their
cost, each year, in timecan make one walnut tree as
valuable as 60 acres of land at present prices; that if
the truth can be fully known, the land hungry will
flock here from every direction to put every idle acre
to use, and every slacker acre to full use, and help to
feed the hungry world and clothe the naked world with
bur products?

are other expenses In connection'
with their production. Assuming
a crop of four tons, to the acre-, the
gross returns would amount to
ISOtt. It Is safe to assume that the
net returns will exceed 50 per cent
of this amount, or $150 per acre.
It is obvious that these laads on
an interest-paying basis greatly
exceed the established value,
though it must be kept in mind
that the area of beans which any

More Than Paid For System
Many of the best hop yards are
daily being irrigated. The owners
of some of these yards have in
stalled expensive irrigation sys
tems. One grower recently stated
that during 1927 the added re
turns from his yard due to irriga
tion more than paid for hop yards,
but it is safe to assume that -the
returns from any successfully ep-1
eraiea nop yara would pay lutes
est upon a higher valuation than
is generally placed upon this pro
perty in this vicinity.
We venture to say that If the
irrigated land of Lake Labish. with
its very high returns from celery
production, the irrigated lands in
the Wnl Stavtnn rifatrfot with
,wonderfu, CTop9 orthe
gated hop yards, with their as
sured

rather than in pregon, their re
turns would be fully capitalized
and their mines placed according

purchased for the prices at which
they are being offered today.

above May a year ago and is the
highest point the index has reach

The advance during the period

AMES. Iowa, June 2. (AP)
Veterinarian of Iowa state col
lege have performed operations
which effectively and harmlessly
silence' animals whose vocal char
acteristics have developed to the
point of being a nuisance. The
process has reached the point
where it nearly always la success
ful.
"Roaring" horses have been
permanently silenced, and dogs
that have yelped loudly and con
tinually have been "de-barked."
In a similar operation goats have
been "de-bleated" in a clinic by
Dr. W. F. Guard, head of the vet
erinary surgery department, and
his assistants.
The silencing operation origin
ated. Dr. Guard says, during the
war. when It was necessary to
"take the bray out of mules to be
need near the front to prevent
troop movements from being re
vealed to the enemy.
The operation was accomplish
ed by removing a part of the vo
cal apparatus in the throat, which
allowed the vocal chords to gtow
fast to the ' sides. Once grown
fast,, the chords no longer vibrat
ed and the mule was successfully
"de-brayed."
' Afterwards it was found that
"roaring" horse likewise could
be cured by preventing the vocal
chords from vibrating excessively.
Extraordinary vibrations or a
"roarer" deerese the horse's effi
ciency by making it short-winded.
Dr. Guard found.
1 The operation in the case of
goats and dogs Is somewhat dif-
ferentr although in both eases vo
cal chord vibration ts eliminated.
De-bleating" and "de-barking"
both are accomplished by remov
ing a section of the vocal chord.'
The operation Is described as sim

"Hold the leaf firmly againet
the lower lip so that it extends

acts as a sounding box, and the
lips, tengue and pharynx are the
control mechanism as in wh let

- The lower aide of the leaf
produces a more pleasing tone
than the upper.- The range with

Cherries and Walnuts Pay. Well A Number of . Instances
Where Incomes Are in Keepirtjr With High Land Values
Farmers Who are Making Good in Dairying, a Branch That
Especially Needs Developing in the Willamette aVOey
Editor Statesman:
With reference to your inquiry
relatiyeto land values in the Wil
lamette-valley based upon actual
returns. I will say that wheTe pro
per rotation of crops and fertill
ration of the soil Is practiced, the
owners as a whole1 ate making
good returns on their investments.
The following actual instances will
be practical illustrations:
Actual Results
One man whom I have in mind
owns a 20 acre cherry and wal
nut orchard. He hires all of the
work done and keeps an accurate
record of his costs and Incomes.
His net return on hta investment
has averaged 6 V to 7 per cent in
terest on a valuation of $20,000
for the last five years.
Clearing S2000 and Over
Another farmer of whom I know
owns 20 acres within just a few
miles of Salem, which he values at
$14,000. That farm Is divided as
follows: nine acres of prunes, two
acres of pears, four acres of cher
ries, four acres of filberts, and one
acre of walnuts. Some of the or
chard is not in bearing, and all of
it averages from four to five years
old. In between the trees on 12
acres black raspberries are grown.
This man is clearing above all ex
penses each year, an average of
$2,000 and over.
f lOOO on 20 Acres
Another farmer owns a 20 acre
farm within two miles of the
heart of Salem, which is planted
six acres to Royal Ann cherries,
of which three and a half acres
are bearing; four acres of peaches;
four acres of newly planted wal
nuts, and a little other miscellane
ous fruit. His income from the
place in 192 was $1600, of which
$1300 were the proceeds of his
share of the crop.
Making 15 Per Cent on 91000
an Acre
I. also, have in mind a walnut
orchard which is producing, year
In and year out, 15 per ecnt on a
val nation of $1000 an acre above
all costs, Including pay for the
owner's time. The income on this
orchard, which is only 15 years
old, is increasing each year.
The foregoing illustration are
returns based on orchard values as
well as land values, and should be
so considered. . ...
COMING BACK,
FIRM PRICES A
Prices Are Better Than They Were for Things the Farmer
Has to SeB There Are More Farm Sales Than for a Long
time; More m Last Year Than in Seven Years Preceding
Some Farmers Who Are Makirtj Good by Improving Their
Soil
Editor Statesman:
Farm prices and farm crops are
coming back. For about seven
years the farmer has had hard
sledding. When land. and CiUpr
have been down that long, it is a
sure thing that a change is in
near sight.
Already there have been some
ehanges occur over night. Beef
cattle, for one thing, are out of
sight, after being down about
eight years. Last fall farmers sold
oats delivered to the mills for 50
cents per bushel. Now they are
selling good gray Waldo Hills oats
out of their bins for 80 cents a
bushel.
In eastern Oregon they have
contracted wheat for $1.40 pei
bushel for the coming crop. Wool
was 34 cents last year; Now they
are paying 50 cents per pound
and even 52 cents for medium sta
ple. Grade ewes sold last winter
for $20 per head. r
California buyers are coming
here and paying $100 per cow, in
many cases taking the whole herd
at that price, or $125 for cowe
bought in single lota.
One may ask. th.en.why hasn't
land value come up!,Ln the first
place, these higher prices have Just
come. Walt till the farmer sells
his crops at these new prices.
There has, though, been mor
farm land sold and exchanged in
the past year than In the seven
years before. If you have been
busy and not around much, yoi
may not have heard of many sales
.being made. In my work with
the farmer, I have come in con
tact with a large number of sales
and exchanges. Now these are
not all exchanges or on time sales.
I know of many valley or eastern
men who have bought farms and
paid cash.
To show that farms can be
AND IS
I was just talking the other day
with the owner of a farm of 119
acres which has been rented for a,
few years, except 'that the" owner'
retains the use of the buildings for
a home, raising poultry, and keep
ing of a cow or two; garden and
fruit is also retained by the own
er. The place is valued at. $1C,-.
500. The owner's share of each
year's rental has- averaged from
$1000 to $1200 annually. The
crops grown on this place are the
ordinary farm crops of clover,
vetch, wheat, and oats. These re
turns are in addition to the fruit
for home use, garden and poultry
returns.
14 Per Cent on $200 Value
A farmer near Hopmere owning
a 223 acre farm, highly improved,
and valued at $50,000, has 60
acres of bearing hops. The balance
of the farm is not very intensely
cultivated and the owner does not
try to run the farm for capacity
income, but his net returns for the
past 10 years on that property
have averaged better than $7,000
a year, which is 14 per cent on the
valuation of better than $200 an
acre.
Dairying is Profitable
One other illustration will, 1
think, give you a fairly typical il
lustration of the returns that may
be expected from a dairy farm. A
short distance from Salem there
is a man who is keeping 30 head
of cows on a hundred acre place,
of which number 15 are milch
cows. The farm stock and equip
ment Is valued at $20,000. The
gross income is averaging about
$00 a month. The' net income,
after allowing for all expenses in
cluding the owner's labor, is bet
ter than $3000 annually, or in
other words, a net income of 15
per cent on the owner's valuation
of his property.
There is not a branch of farm
ing that needs development in the
Willamette valley more than the
diary industry, and the farmers
who are handling cows intelli
gently are making money. Or
chard and farm values in the Wil
lamette valley are on a conserva
tive' basis, and the farmer who
will use the more improved farm
ing and orchard practices ' win
make' money. '

What is cheap land? Land is cheap that can be made t

raent, taxes and good wages for operationr and management
land that will keep on doing this year after year, indefinite
If the land be located within easy distance from the ad van
tages of schools and other necessities of civilized and cultura
life. Land is not cheap, though it have the possibilities o;
profit making, without the latter advantages.
By this measure; by these two measures, the Salem dis
trict has the cheapest land in the world.
Salem is essentially a farming center; a fruit growing ant.
gardening center. The greatest prosperity and growth o
Salem will come and will endure with the greatest prosperity
and growth of the surrounding country
And that will come with the beet possible use of the land :
with the production of the most valuable money crops on eact
acre of land ; with intensified and diversified farming devel
oped to the limit, following the slogan, "More acres and more
to the acre," and sticking everlastingly at it.
To the prospective new corner, the writer will say that a
well posted man made the assertion -not long ago that there
are more than 100JD00 acres of land within, a radius of twenty
miles of Salem that, planted to the right crops, may be made
to, produce money returns that will pay for the present
purchase price of the land each year.
That is a rather sweeping statement ; but he proved ii
And that land is surely cheap that will pay its entire cost
each year. That statement cannot be made of any similar
body of land in the world ; and proved.
And land values here will go on steadily increasing for gen
erations, when the land is put to the right uses.
For instance, filbert trees will increase in value for many,
pears; so will walnut trees for hundreds if not thousands of
years.
With proper rotations and renewals of fertilization, our
land will never wear out. The oldest land in the world in con
tinuous use is the richest land in the world ; for instance, in
France and Italy and Spain.
The Salem district has the cheapest land in the world ; con
sidering what the buyer may now secure it for, and the pro
ducts that are possible
That is, considering its potential productive value
And the full'potential value of any single acre of land ir
the Salem district will not be realized till it is put to its best
use. For instance, beaver dam land in this section is worth
perhaps $100 an acre to raise hay on, while it is well worth
$1000 to $1500 an acre on which to raise celery or onions or
onion sets or head lettuce. It is worth several times its hay
price to raise mint pn.
The same claim may be made as to good land for walnuts,
filberts, red or black raspberries, evergreen blackberries, lo
ganberries, etc., and as to three or fotrp or five story farm-
ing in a number of combinations, as for instance tree or bush J
fruits and nuts and poultry and bees.
And there is a great possible diversity j
