Think it over.
At the present time, states a Wash
ington, D. C, report, the'nvernge price
per acre of farm lands In the middle
western states is as follows: Ohio
$67.43, Indiana $54. 96, Illinois $75.31,
Michigan $36.61, Wisconsin $48.90,
Minnesota S53.3S, Iowa ' $34.56, Mis
souri $34.70, North Dakota $18.42.
South Dakota $22.56, Nebraska $31.73,
Kansas $23.99, Washington $24.98, Or
egon $16.45, California $26.29, Idaho
$19.65.
How It Was Reckoned.
James Wilson, secretary Of agri
culture, has received 45.000 letters
from as mnny prominent and substan
tial citizens giving, at his request,
their estimate of the increase in the
value In farm lands in their respective
neighborhoods since 1900.
By this method the secretary has
reached Into practically every com
munity In the United States, and as
he asked every correspondent to base
his estimate In each Instance on me
dium lands, leaving out the very poor
and the extremely valuable, the result
Is believed to be as accurate as could
be achieved.
Almost all other estimates on farm
lands In the past have been too low
because they have been based upon
the tax assessment valuation, which
Is notoriously an undervaluation In
every community, but Secretary Wli-
son'j correspondents were instructed
to fix the value in each case at the
price at which the land could be sold
If thrown on the market. Thus It Is
believed that these figures are the
first ever collected to come approxi
mately near the truth, and the result
Is decidedly Interest.
Lnrge Increase In Value.
An average valuation for each state
was struck and also one for the coun
try at large, and the gain In each state
has been a handsome one. In 1900
the total value of nil the farm lands
In the United States. Including; Im
provements, was $1 1.279. 503. 8S7 and
in 1905 It was $24,410,276,963, figures
which are eloquent of the effect the
general prosperity of the country has
upon the farm.
Another significant feature brought
out l" that the greatest increase, pro
portionately, came to the central
states. The north central states gain
ed In round figures $3,500,000,000.
i while the south central states gained
$1,200,000,000. The Atlantic and the
far vesrern states also gained hand
somely but only by millions and not
by billions. '
