That Crosby county
values
- are increasing, and that its produc-
■HSgR, •. tiveness is beyond .question, is based
on the fact that the" Federal Land
Bank has increased the loan value of
Crosby county land from $25.00 per
acre to $30.0(J per acre, according to
a letter received from the bank to
W. M. Romane, President of the
Crosby County Federal Land Bank
Association, Crosby county is recog-
nized as* a very fertile," diversified
farming region, and this kind of
recognition gives it a basis of sound-
ness that emphasizes these state-
ments.
