Economist Urges That Land Value Be Kept Steady It has taken a quarter of a century to get over the upsurge in land prices that came with the first World War, and we need to remember this lesson in order to keep land values steady now, ac cording to the Georgia Agricul tural Extension Service. Kenneth Treanor, Extension Ec onomist in farm management, said this week that “We can see the boom in land prices during World War 1 was unjustified when it pulled the price of a far m so high the earnings from the farm would not pay for it over a long period of time. “The value of Georgia farms more than doubled during the period of inflation at the time of the last war. Mortgage indebted ness on owner-operated farms in creased to nearly four times what it was before inflation began. “When the break came, farm values declined to their former levels, but mortgage debt contin ued to increase until it was nearly five times as great as before in flation. Farmers by the thousands lost their farms.” Treanor urged farmers to re member that land will have to be paid for out of the income 10 to 20 years from now, just the same as this year. “Individually, farmers can con tribute greatly to keeping land prices stable by using their high er incomes to pay off debts, buy war bonds and stamps, and by staying out of the land market if prices rise unreasonably in their neighborhood,” the economist concluded.
