Farm Land Prices
Reach Boom Level
Of World War I
Oregon's general farm land
price level has reached the same
height as at the peak of the world
war I boom, according to an analy
sis of farm real estate data by
L. R. Breithaupt, extension agri
cultural economist at O.S.C. The
figures show that average prices
for fai-m land in Oregon are up to
165 per cent of the 1935-1939 level,
just equal to average prices of
farm land in Oregon in 1920-1921.
Fewer farm transfers are being
reported in many areas of the
country, another significant fact
about the farm land situation
that is shown by data received by
the extension economist from the
U. S. department of agriculture.
Apparently, the number of farm
sales reached a peak during the
first quarter of 1944.
The figures indicate 15 per cent
fewer farm transfers during the
last three quarters of 1944 than
during the same period in 1943.
The last quarter of 1944 was 20
per cent under the last quarter of
1943 in the rate of farm transfers.
Even so the rate is still high.
Prices Advance
Despite the slower rate of trans
fers, land prices continued to ad
vance and on March 1, 1945 the
average, both in Oregon and for
the whole country, was 11 per cent
above March 1, 1944. This situa
tion with transfers slowing down
and prices going up resembles
the trends near the peak of the
world war I land boom, Breit
haupt said.
Transfers slowed down then
about a year before the peak in
land prices was reached. Subse-
