After a very little persuasion Mr.
Reese carried a part of the crowd to
the park, where they were to meet
wme friends for lunch. Upon reach-

tie lower or 2.36 per cent, and by
1913 it had fallen to 2.16 per cent
of the market price of the land.
Much farm land in 1925 sold for
less than two-thirds the market price
of 1920. Yet, according to the Brook-
mire Economic Service the available
cash-income 'of 1920 was only slightly
in excess of 1925. In other words, the
income was practically the same on
land which sold for less than two-
thirds as much as in 1920.
It is significant that the general
price level has remained the same
during the past two years and the
capita! value of land is as nearly
equal its selling price as at any time
during the past twenty-five years,
Purchasers can feel reasonably as-
