L. Stewart says Illinois farm land and buildings were valued at all-time record-high average prices on January 1 this year. The average was between $190 and $200 an acre. This probably was an increase of as much as 14 per cent over March 1, 1950, prices. Stewart also mentions one Champaign county farm that sold re cently for $525 an acre.

"You certainly have to be an op timist, and have great faith that high net earnings will continue for the next 10 to 20 years, to buy land even the best land at around $400 an acre or he said. Stewart also believes that it is probable that still higher prices for farm land are ahead of us. That is unless there is a quick cutback in defense spending or unless price ceilings for major Illinois farm products should be set lower than is consistent with higher production costs. If land earns a net income of $24 an acre annually after taxes and could be expected to do so for a long time, valuations approaching $600 an acre would not seem out of line. But, warns Stewart, suppose we get into a period of low farm earnings? Farm mortgage debts tend to expand during periods of rising prices, with many high debt buyers losing their farms later when prices drop.

Mr. Hodel owns 160 acres and rents 160. I sure would hate to go back to straw for bedding. Cobs absorb, lots of moisture keeping the barn dry and the cattle clean," says Mr.

Hodel. "It was a crime when everyone burned such a valuable material in he field, thinking that cobs were just about worthless." Mr. Hodel recently completed a new lean-to cattle shed that joins his old barn. The new shed has a 72 foot feed bunk that extends from the "silo through the; center of the shed. Has Silage Carrier To cut labor, an electric motor driven silage carrier that runs on wheels on the sides of the feed bunk, is used to distribute the ensilage in the bunk.

Sixty head of steers are being fed out this year, but with the new building, 120 head could be handled. Chopped hay is well liked by Mr. Hodel because it takes less labor to harvest and is easier to handle. 5 Year Crop Plan Mr. Hodel believes that a livestock program with plenty of grasses and legumes is the best way to maintain soil fertility.

He uses a five year rotation of corn, corn, oats and two years meadow. Already 300 tons of manure has been hauled out on the cropland. The yields have always been high on that farm, the operator before Mr. HodeJ was a dairyman and hog feeder. Buy While Available!

BILL Pantagraph Farm Editor mctean i-ouniys 1,174 souare mues or ienue land and prosperous farms represents one of the prize exhibits in American agriculture in terms of grain and meai production, according to Dr, Arthur Watterson.

associate professor in the Geography Department at Illinois State Normal University. inai is nis introduction to a book, "Economy and Land Use Patterns of McLean County," published by the University of Chicago. Watterson submitted the dissertation after two years of research, when he was a candidate for the degree of doctor of phil- osopny. McLean County receives high praise lor the quality of its sou Two chief problems that threaten it's agriculture are erosion and depletion of soil and the high degree of tenancy. Dr.

Watterson observes. Gives Early History The first land survey in McLean County took place in 1821. the dissertation reveals. Thirty civil townships were established. Great depth of soil is revealed.

The glacial drift in the Blooming-ton area is 160 feet deep, and shaft borings in the old McLean County Coal Company mine show five distinct veins of coal occur, ranging from 1 to 4 feet in thickness, that lie at depths ranging from 284 to 515 feet. The several glaciations of ancient times are discussed, maps showing the fertile moraines left by glacial drift. McLean County's climate is favorable to corn belt agriculture, Dr. Watterson observed. During a 48 year study the growing season has averaged 172 days in Bloom-in gton.

The average date of the latest killing frost is April 27, although the date of the latest killing frost ever recorded was on May 26, he found. Annual precipitation has been amazingly uniform over the years, he said. But the soils of McLean County are the single greatest resource of the area, most of it of glacial origin, ranging from 100 to 200 feet in thickness. A soil map is included in the dissertation. Prairie Grass Helped Though the soils of McLean County owe much of their fertility to the humus provided through centuries of prairie grass growth, it was discovered early by the stockmen that bluegrass was better suited to their needs because bluegrass provided pasture a month earlier in the Spring and a month laier in ine rail man the native prairie grasses.

There were few noxious weeds in the county before the prairies Just Arrived! Carload "FARMER" HOG FEEDERS 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20 Door Sizes. Compare this Feeder with any on the market ROTH-HONEGGER CO. PHONE 8308-5 Beaufort and Linden Sts. Normal, 111. C.

Central Illinois Deaths eral attempts to develop coal mines are reported. It was in 1867 that the McLean County Coal Company sunk a shaft at Bloomington, striking coal at 302 feet and another vein at 504 feet.

But at the present time, gravel is the most important product of McLean County soil other than the ctods produced. Bloomington was incorporated in 1843 and its population was only 800 in 1845. Land entry maps reveal how the timber areas were settled first, in 1830 to 1845, but how there was a rapid spread of land entries in 1850 and there was little public land left bv 1870. Livestock farming was the ear ly pattern, but the coming of the railroads brought a fast change, with many farms specializing in grain production for the distant markets. Railroads Helped The Illinois Central Railroad, first railroad built into the county, ran its first train into Blooming' ton on May 3, 1853.

The Alton and Sangamon Railroad (now the M. operated its first train into Bloomington on July 4, 1854. Before the Big Four Railroad was opened in 1870, McLean Coun ty suffered from low grain prices because there was no direct eastern outlet for grain, this research reveals. Dr. Watterson tells of the rapid development of the cash grain system of farming, the many ele vators, early drainage problems, and present day problems.

Trucking grain to the river for the cheaper barge haul to mar ket is one trend of recent years Conservation of soil is another. Farm Saved By Soil Plan, Says Sancken PONTIAC John Sancken of Emington reports that he has saved one farm from destruction by applying a good soil conserva tion plan, states Ray T. Lynge of the Soil Conservation Service, in a rarm Bureau report. The Sancken farm plan was based on capability of the soil. The rota tion specified is corn, oats (sweet clover), corn, oats, meadow.

Sancken said "in looking over the farm in 1945 we found old man erosion very busy. Sheet erosion was taking the top soil off the sloping land and gullies were cutting through the fields and washing the tiles out. If nothing had been done to stop old man erosion the 160 acres would be in a very bad condition today. "However," continued Sancken, "the soil conservation practices, grass water ways, contouring and good rotation were started in 1946 in all fields. Limestome and phosphate was applied and today in walking over the farm and thinking back to 1945 I realize that these practices will make possible good opportunities for the future generations." Sancken pointed out that the income has increased since the good rotation has been applied to the farm.

Erosion has been reduced by both the good rotation and the contouring of the sloping land. This farm is located two miles south of Saunemin and is farmed by Everett Mr. Sancken is in the process of working out and applying a good soil conservation plan on another farm in Broughton Township. He is a member or the Broughton Township soil conservation group with Joe Malone Jr. as their leader.

Mobilization Group To Study PMA Plan McLean County's Agricultural Mobilization committee has a meeting scheduled at 1:30 p. m. Thursday in the Farm Bureau, for discussion of possible improvements in the PMA program for 1952. That program includes both price support loans and payments Ifor conservation practices. Frank Hubert is chairman of the committee, which includes men from all agencies associated with the U.

Wheat was down nearly 2 cents at one time and minor losses were recorded in other cereals. Some of the early selling was attributed to so-called North Korean "peace feelers" in the United Nations.

But after the State Department said the North Korean message does not look to us even remotely like a peace feeler" the market firmed a bit. Feed grains recovered to around the previous close, although wheat still had small losses. Receipts were: Wheat, 10 cars; corn, 7 cars; oats, 10 cars; rye, car; barley, 17 cars; soybeans, 2 cars.
