When farmers are making money on their crops the value of plow land
runs high and bankruptcies are few. Reverse the situation and the bankruptcy
line takes a straight upward turn. That's what la happening now. Fanner
bankruptcies are on the Increase, land values are sliding down the scale due
to the alump of agricultural prices since the war.
What does the future Bold for farm land owners? Is thia the time to buy
or sell?
The Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foundation, after completing a survey of
land values covering a period of sixty years, predicts that high land values are
coming back and that within a decade farm land prices will again ba o* the climb.
From the days of the Civil war to around 1900 farm land values showed lit
tle change. Land was considered a safe Investment. Beginning In 1900 values
began to rise; by 1910 the acre price had doubled. Still land continued to rise
chiefly because of the advance In the prices of farm products.
The war brought higher prices for farm products, crop values Increased.
The result was a land boom. By 1920 the average price of land per acre was
$90. $90 higher than In 1017 at the opening of the war. Farm bankruptcies
dropped from 2,000 In 1917 to 1,000 In 1919.
During the prosperity period of the war many farms were bought Dur
ing the land boom It la estimated that 10 per cent of the country’s farms
changed bands. Following the war the collapse In prices of grains and live
•lock sen? land values tumbling for the first time In twenty-five years. Average
plow land decreased In value from an average of $90 per acre In 1920 to $65 In
1923. Crop values per acre fell from $36 in 1919 to $15 In 1921. During the
past two years there has been a gradual Increase, the average for 1922 being
$20 nod last year the average rising to $22. Farmer bankruptcy proceedings In
the federal courts Jumped from 1,000 In 1920 to 6,600 In 192S. More than 8t4
per cent of the land owners In 15 corn aud wheat producing states In ths upper
Mississippi valley lost their farms.
In twenty-five years the United States should be producing on a domestic
basts In practically everything, unless production makes material Increases.
People are moving from the land. Then the farm-to-clty movement will reverse
Itself. Land values will Increase with the price levels. Bankruptcies will de
crease with the rise In land values. The present tendency In prices Is down.
They may continue down for a decade. During this time land prices may sag
considerably. But with a return of production prices of farm land will go up.

The extensive Injury unit destruc

storms has brought many Inquiries to
the United States Department of Agri
culture regarding the proper method»
to be followed In repairing the damage
done. The following neggestlontf are
made by the department.
The first thing that shuttle be done Is
to remove such large broken branches
as are now, or may become, a, menace
to life and property; this is. usually
best done by cutting at the patit where
broken.
Attention should then be
given to Injuries on the mein trunk,
if limbs have been spilt, or partially
split, from the- roedn trunk, all splin
tered wood %'hout the wound should be
removed ’with a sharp- gouge and mal
let. If ’not ao situated that it can be
saw«’ off.
The »ear should be
smoothed In ths manner Indicated In
Farmers’ Bulletin 1178, Tree Surgery,
and treated aa an open cavity, or as
a large surface wound, as the case
may necessitate.
Attention to Brastohbe.
Attention should next be given to
repairing the Injuries on die larger
branches In a similar manner, and last
of all to the sma.ler branches. Somo-
llmes when a llmt» 1« broken away the

breakage that It may attain break In a
