S. Department of Agriculture; the Bureau of the Census, U. S. Department of Commerce; and the Illinois Crop Reporting Service, a joint enterprise of the Illinois State Department of Agriculture and the U. S. Department of Agriculture, in making available some of the necessary materials for this study. Appreciation is like- wise extended to officers of the national farm organizations who cooperated with federal census officials in developing an under- standing of the importance of making basic agricultural infor- mation available by minor civil divisions. For assistance rendered in statistical work and in making preparations for graphic presentations, full credit is due three former research assistants in the Department of Agricultural Economics Ranbir Singh, Shison Chinglin Lee, and Elmer Leon McBride. Urbana, Illinois March, 1934 Publications in the Bulletin series report the results of investigations made by or sponsored by the Experiment Station Farm Real-Estate Valuations in Illinois With Special Reference to Township Averages By C. L. STEWART, Chief in Land Economics VALUATIONS placed on farm lands and buildings are indica- tors of economic conditions. They also have practical im- portance in that they affect the relations which owners have or may have with various individuals and corporate bodies. These include buyers and prospective buyers of farms and rural dwellings and home sites; creditors; tenants; governmental agencies and public utilities acquiring farm real estate by condemnation proceedings, and these or others settling for damages done to farm realty; insurance and loan agencies ; governmental agencies and drainage, irrigation, levee, and other improvement districts levying taxes and assessments upon farm real estate ; and persons who would obtain rights to develop subsurface or other not strictly agricultural uses of land of which the surface uses are agricultural. The significance of valuations in relations that involve the private owners of the realty may be matched by their significance in relations where public interest is paramount. Facts as to local farm-realty valu- ations are pertinent in determining locations for and in constructing public highways, in establishing national, state, and other public forests, parks, areas for recreation and wild-life preservation, and in developing publicly supported and other publicly approved real-estate improvement projects. The taxing activity of state and local gov- ernments has afforded a persisting reason for public interest in farm real-estate valuations. Forfeiture of numerous tracts for nonpayment of taxes has given a new edge to public interest in real estate and its valuation because of the necessity of forming policies with respect to areas no longer operated under private ownership. When considered from either the public or private points of view, information concerning farm realty valuations has been widely useful when made available for counties and larger areas. The adequacy of figures applicable only to the larger areas, however, has often been questioned, both by those at a distance whose scepticism might be ex- pected and those nearby who are familiar with local variations in soil productivity and in the selling prices of land and improvements. 543 544 BULLETIN No. 399 [March, When the facts of farm real-estate valuation are presented by civil divisions smaller than the county, much is done to dispel illusions which persons at a distance might have as to the uniformity of land values within counties. Such facts should assist outsiders who may consider identifying themselves with local agriculture to select locali- ties upon a more adequate basis when township averages for the value of farm dwellings, other buildings, and the land itself are available. Such averages make it possible for those operating in one locality to make comparisons with other localities with a degree of defmiteness that is often needed. Until 1930 federally collected agricultural census statistics were not published by minor civil divisions except in some of the smaller states and in some selected counties in a few other states, where pro- visions for tabulation and publication were made possible by coopera- tion which involved the Bureau of the Census, the Bureau of Agri- cultural Economics, and one or more non federal agencies from which the initiative and part or all of the necessary special funds had come. 1 Minor civil divisions, of which the average Illinois county contains 16, are given special prominence in this bulletin, which makes available for Illinois, in the form of averages per farm 2 and per acre, farm real- estate valuations of April, 1930, which the Bureau of Census recently published by minor civil divisions for the first time but without show- ing any averages. 3 Figures no more recent than these have lost some of their significance, of course, because of the widespread and marked decline in valuations of all kinds of farm lands and improvements 'Of interest to Illinois readers is a volume entitled "Agriculture in the Chicago Region," by E. A. Duddy (University of Chicago Press, 1929), in which use is made of 1925 Census figures by townships for 15 counties in three states. The Illinois counties in- cluded in the study are Cook, DuPage, Grundy, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry, Kankakee, and Will. Farm real-estate valuations are shown for townships in the Chicago region, in graphic form, for land (excluding buildings) per acre, land and buildings per acre, and land and buildings per farm. Some nonvaluation Census items of direct significance in farm realty valuation studies are also included, those of particular interest being percentages of total land area in farms, farm land in crops, farm land in pastures, and farm land exclusive of crop land and pasture. 2 The Bureau of the Census practice relative to what has been regarded as a farm is summarized by Black and Bachman in "Methods of Collection and Analysis of Official Statistics," U. S. Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Agricultural Economics, Bibli- ography 35 (mimeographed report), page 82, as follows: "The 1930 Census in the United States considered as a farm all the land which was directly farmed by one person, either by his own labor alone, or with the assistance of members of his household, or hired em- ployees. A partnership was also considered a farm. A single tract of land or a number of single tracts, even tho held under different tenures, could constitute a farm. When a landowner had one or more tenants, renters, croppers, or managers, the land operated by each was considered a farm. No tract of land of less than 3 acres was to be reported as a farm, unless its products in 1929 were 'valued at $250 or more. "Several changes have been made from time to time in the definition of a farm in the United States census. In 1910 and 1920, for example, tracts of less than 3 acres were included, even if products worth less than $250 were produced, provided the continuous services of at least one person were required for their agricultural operation. In 1900, market, truck, and fruit gardens, orchards, nurseries, cranberry marshes, greenhouses and city dairies were not included as farms, unless the entire time of at least one individual was devoted to their care. In 1870, 1880, and 1890, no farm of less than 3 acres was to be reported unless $500 worth of produce had been actually sold from it during the year." 3 Census, 1930, Agriculture, Illinois.

Nevertheless it may be as late as 1942 before similar averages are again published by minor civil divisions for Illi- nois as a whole. In the meantime the local differences shown in the present figures can be expected to be reflected with considerable faith- fulness, altho requiring to be viewed with proper allowance for changes that will have taken place. CENSUS VALUATIONS FOR 1930 COMPARED WITH EARLIER VALUATIONS An indication of the position of farm real-estate valuations in Illi- nois and in the country as a whole on April 1, 1930, in relation to valuations at previous dates is afforded by reference to two lines of statistics earlier United States Census figures and earlier non-Census figures. Comparison With Earlier Census Figures For a long perspective use is made of the farm real-estate valua- tions collected for all farms by the United States Census for 1930, 1925, 1920, and every tenth year back to 1850 (Table 1). The figures given are farmers' estimates, both before the separation between build- ings and land was undertaken (1850-1890) and since that separation became effective in 1900. Some of the outstanding farm real-estate changes shown for the state and nation by comparing the 1930 Census figures with figures of earlier Census dates, particularly with those of 1920, are the fol- lowing: Number of farms: 1920-1930, slight decrease both in Illinois and in the United States as a whole; 1900-1920, decrease in state, increase in nation. Acres in farms: 1920-1930, slight decrease in Illinois, increase in nation; 1900-1920, decrease in state, increase in nation; 1850-1900, increase both in state and nation. Acres per farm: 1920-1930, increase both in Illinois and nation; 1880-1920, increase both in state and nation; 1850-1880, decrease both in state and nation. Total valuations per farm and per acre: 1920-1930, decrease both in state and nation; 1850-1920, increase both in state and nation. The 1930 Illinois valuations for land alone and for land and build- ings, per acre and per farm, were twice as large as for the United States as a whole. The 1930 Illinois averages for buildings lacked but little of being twice as large as those for the country as a whole. Since farmers' dwellings were given separate valuations in 1930 for the 546 BULLETIN No. 399 [March, TABLE 1.

For buildings other than farmers' dwellings, the average valuations were as follows: United States, $933 per farm, $5.94 per acre; and Illinois, $1,837 per farm, $12.84 per acre. Farmers' dwellings and other buildings were 11.6 and 11.8 percent, respectively, of the total farm realty valuation in Illinois in 1930. On farms having less than 100 acres, valua- tions of farmers' dwellings averaged higher than valuations of other buildings, but in farms of 100 acres and more the dwellings had the smaller valuation of the two. "All buildings" made up nearly 52 percent of the total valuation on farms with less than 20 acres, but only 15 percent on farms of 1,000 acres and more. For dwellings and for other buildings separately the percentage valuations for farms of various sizes were as follows: farms under 20 acres, 34.0 and 17.7; 20 acres and under 40 acres, 23.4 and 14.0; 50 acres and under 100 acres, 17.8 and 13.9; 100 acres and under 175 acres, 12.3 and 12.7;, 175 acres and under 500 acres, 8.5 and 10.5; 500 acres and under 1,000 acres, 5.9 and 10.1; and 1,OCO acres and over, 3.0 and 12.1 (U. S. Census, 1930, "Size of Farms," Table 11.) 1934] FARM REAL ESTATE VALUATIONS IN ILLINOIS 547 first time, comparisons with earlier dates must be confined to other items. Even in 1920 the average valuations of farm realty per farm or per acre in the United States were in no case as much as three- fourths as large as the 1930 averages for Illinois. Compared with the 1930 Illinois average valuation of land alone per acre, that of 1925 was 34 percent higher; that of 1920, 97 per- cent. higher; that of 1910, 14 percent higher; while that of 1900 was lower by 45 percent. In average valuation of buildings per acre the Illinois 1930 figure exceeded the figures for both the state and the country as a whole for each of the preceding dates for which information is available. It is believed that in 1925 and 1930 the Census statistics tended toward overvaluation of buildings in parts of the United States where land values were then falling, which, particularly in 1930, was a large part of the country. 1 Changes in the farm real-estate situation in the various crop report- ing districts of Illinois (Fig. 6, page 578) that are evident when the 1930 Census statistics are compared with those of 1920 and 1910 (Tables 2, 3, and 4) are the following: Number of farms: 1920-1930, decrease in all districts; 1910-1920, a similar trend held in all the districts. Acres in farms: 1920-1930, decrease in eight districts, the only increase being in the Champaign district. In all districts the number of acres in farms was smaller in 1930 than it was 20 years earlier. Acres per farm: 1920-1930, increase in all districts, the increase averaging about 8 acres per farm. During the preceding decade decreases had been shown in the Dixon, Galesburg, and Mattoon districts, but in all districts except Mattoon the area per farm was larger in 1930 than in either 1910 or 1920. Valuations of land and buildings per farm: 1920-1930, decrease in all dis- tricts. Districts showing decreases in excess of the state average (38.5 per- cent) were Champaign, 47.9 percent; Galesburg, 41.4 percent; and Springfield, 40.4 percent. The 1930 averages were below those of 1910 in the Springfield and Champaign districts by only .5 and 1.3 percent respectively, but in all other districts those of 1930 were the higher. Valuation of land alone per farm: 1920-1930, decrease in all districts, the decrease being 46.2 percent for the state as a whole and in excess of half (53.4 percent) in the Champaign district. The 1930 averages were below those of 1910 except in the Chicago district. Valuation of all buildings per farm: 1920-1930, increase in all districts, percentage increases greater than the state average of 15.5 percent applying in the Dixon, Chicago, and Bloomington districts. The 1930 valuation was more than twice that of 1910 in all districts except Springfield, Carbondale, and Har- risburg, and but little short of it in the Springfield and Carbondale districts. Valuation of land and buildings per acre: 1920-1930, a general decrease ranging from 26.5 percent in the Chicago district to 50.8 percent in the Cham- 'Black and Bachman, work cited, page 308. 548 BULLETIN No. 399 [March, TABLE 2.

The 1930 values were in excess of 1910 in the Dixon, Chicago, Galesburg, and Carbondale districts. Valuation of land only per acre: 1920-1930, decrease in all districts at rates ranging from 6 to 11 percentage points higher than those shown in the land-and- building comparison above. The greatest rate of decrease, that in the Cham- paign district, was 56.0 percent. Only the Chicago district showed a 1930 figure in excess of 1910. Valuation of all buildings per acre: 1920-1930, decreases only in the Gales- burg and Harrisburg districts, very slight in each case. The largest increase was shown in the Chicago district. Compared with 1910 the 1930 valuation was higher in every district by percentages ranging from 64.3 in the Mattoon dis- trict to 112.2 in the Chicago district. Land only and buildings only constituted proportions of the total realty valuation which are shown by districts in Tables 3 and 4 as percentages but which may be expressed simply as amounts per $100 total valuation. 1934] FARM REAL ESTATE VALUATIONS IN ILLINOIS 549 2 * U- a j d S < 5 u U BK >, H Os Q C < 5 a ^ < 01 Z O* flj <:^ u J 10" si2 iy) rig I - V U5COCO O -H .

The 1930 ratio was, on the average, $10 lower per $100 valuation than the corresponding ratios for 1910 and 1920. Valuation of buildings per $100 realty valuation: 1920-1930, increase in all districts, particularly in the Bloomington and Champaign districts, where this item apparently doubled. Compared with 1910 the ratio of buildings valuations to all real-estate valuations in 1920 was slightly lower in the Dixon and Bloom- ington districts ; in the other seven districts it was only slightly higher.

CHANGES IN ACRE- VALUATIONS OF FARM REAL ESTATE IN THE DIFFERENT COUNTIES OF ILLINOIS BETWEEN JUNE 15, 1920, and APRIL 1, 1930, EXPRESSED AS PERCENTAGES OF THE 1920 VALUATIONS In all counties except three near Lake Michigan a marked decline in the values of farm real estate occurred between the two census years 1920 and 1930. Eleven of the 14 counties in which realty valuations declined to less than half their 1920 valuations were in the northeast quarter of the state. 552 BULLETIN No. 399 [March, 1930 makes it impossible to assemble similar statistical comparisons for them. In 1930 the valuations of farmers' dwellings in relation to the valuations of all buildings ranged from 44.6 percent in the Chicago district to 59.5 percent in the Harrisburg district and averaged nearly 50 percent (49.5) for the state as a whole. There is little basis for assuming that farmers' dwellings represented much different propor- tions of the valuations of farm buildings at earlier dates within the past two decades. Changes substantially similar to those indicated for all buildings between 1920 and 1930 may be assumed to have occurred in the case of dwellings and nondwellings also. Changes between 1920 and 1930 in farm real-estate valuations, described in the preceding sections in terms of the nine crop reporting districts, are shown on an acre basis by counties in Fig. 1. Basic figures for 1930 are included in the master table, pages 589 to 614, and for 1920 may be found in both the 1920 and 1930 Census reports. Average valuations of land only per acre, shown in Table 4 to have been declining in all of the nine crop reporting districts, were declining in 99 of the 102 counties of the state. Likewise, average acre- valuations of all buildings, shown in that table to have been in- creasing in all but two of the crop reporting districts, were increasing in all but 38 of the counties. Tendencies similar to those shown for land alone held when the acre-valuations of land and buildings were similarly analyzed. Placing the valuations on a farm basis still leaves in evidence substantially the same tendencies as those that are indicated when the valuations are shown on an acre basis. Comparison With Earlier Non-Census Figures The 1930 Census valuations of Illinois farm real estate may be compared with valuations of farm real estate collected yearly as of March 1 and April 1 by the Illinois Cooperative Crop and Livestock Reporting Service, 1 the comparison in this section being confined to those applying to March 1 and available from 1912 to date. The information presented in this section is in the form of index numbers of acre-valuations of farm land with improvements, the years 1912-1914 being taken as the base period (Fig. 2).

FARM REAL ESTATE VALUATIONS IN ILLINOIS 553 23 1912 '14 1920 '22 FIG. 2. INDEX OF AVERAGE ACRE- VALUATIONS OF FARM REAL ESTATE IN THE UNITED STATES AND IN ILLINOIS ON MARCH 1, FROM 1912 TO 1933 The rate at which Illinois farm real-estate valuations increased between 1912 and 1920 was less than the rate of increase in the country as a whole. Illinois valuations returned to their immediate prewar level in 1927, while it was not until 1932 that those for the country as a whole fell back to the pre- war level. Illinois valuations by 1933 had dropped to 52 percent of the prewar level, to 33 percent of 1920, and to 43 percent of 1930. United States valua- tions had fallen to 73 percent of the prewar level, to 44 percent of 1920, and to 63 percent of 1930. (Graph is based on data of the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the Illinois State Department of Agriculture.) whose estimates are used in the annual data are only a small percent- age of all farmers, and the size-distribution of farms applicable to the totals reported in the Census does not apply to the farms reported in annual estimates, the prominence of farms of small acreage being con- siderably greater in the Census series. The extent of agreement between the two series of estimates may best be gaged by reference to the indications of rates of change in values of farm lands during various periods beginning between 1912 and 1925, at the one extreme, and 1930 at the other. Certainly changes 554 BULLETIN No. 399 [March, between 1920 and 1930 are comparable as between the two series. The average acre-valuation of Illinois farm land and buildings as show y n by the Census, declined to 72.8 percent of the 1920 figure by 1925 and to 79.5 percent of the 1925 figure by 1930. The corresponding per- centages indicative of decline shown in the annual series were 70.2 and 79.1 respectively. The 1930 valuation was shown in the Census series to have been 57.9 percent as high as the 1920 valuation, and in the annual series to have been 56.9 percent as high. For both five- year periods and for the ten-year period as a whole, the agreement between the two series of Illinois figures is close. SIGNIFICANT TRENDS IN ILLINOIS FARM-REALTY VALUATIONS, 1930 TO 1933 Acre-valuations of Illinois farm realty are also available for com- parison over the three years beginning in 1930. March 1 estimates apply to farm land with improvements, to farm land without im- provements, and to plowlands. April 1 estimates apply to cash-rented real estate on the basis of entire farms, plowlands, and pasture or grazing land. Comparisons in both the March 1 and April 1 series are made on the basis of index numbers, 100 representing the 1930 average (Tables 5 and 6). From these estimates it appears that acre-valuations for the state as a whole declined about 40 percent between 1930 and 1933 in all classifications, and that farm land without improvements declined 46 percent (Table 5). Available annual figures for 1920 to 1925 show that even with the marked declines during the early 1920's no three- TABLE 5.

It is to be noted that the valuations for "all farm land without im- provements" showed the most marked shrinkages of any class of farm real estate each year from 1930 to 1933 and also over the period 1926 to 1930. "All plowlands" showed the least shrinkage. Farm land with improvements occupied the median position in these com- parisons. The decline in the valuations of cash-rented plowlands during 1930-1933, tho the largest of the declines in cash-rented real estate, w r as but little different from the decline in the valuation of cash- rented pasture or grazing land, which showed the least decline. A longer period would have to be included to make the contrasts sharper, the effect in that case being to give largest prominence to the decline in valuation of pasture or grazing land. In all three of the March 1 series of valuations, the Champaign district showed the most marked shrinkage of any district in the state (Table 6 and Fig. 3). The Chicago and Bloomington districts also showed marked shrinkage. The three districts with least shrinkage were Carbondale, Harrisburg, and Dixon. In acre-valuations of cash-rented real estate the Mattoon dis- trict was indicated to have had the largest decline both for entire farms and for pasture and grazing land. The Champaign district likewise had notable declines. The decline in acre-valuations of cash-rented 556 BULLETIN No. 399 [March, plowlands averaged about the same for the state as a whole as did the decline in all plowlands, but in the Harrisburg and Mattoon districts cash-rented plowlands were reported with especially marked valuation reductions.

The least marked declines were in the Dixon, Carbondale, and Harrisburg districts; the most marked decline was in the Champaign district. the real estate made the basis for the March 1 figures. Concentration of cash-rented realty in areas having drainage enterprises might account for reports of markedly depressed valuations for that class of farm real estate because of special difficulties with nonpayment of assess- 1934] FARM REAL ESTATE VALUATIONS IN ILLINOIS 557 ments and forced transfer of land. The Champaign district also showed the most marked decline of any district of the state between 1920 and 1930 (Table 4). That the Chicago district should show much greater declines in farm real-estate valuations after 1930 than in the decade before is not surprising. Urban influence radiated less effectively in sustaining valuations of farm real estate after 1930 than during much of the pre- ceding decade. In general, the subsidence of farm realty valuations was more uni- form and general after 1930 than before. EXTENT TO WHICH FARM-REALTY VALUATION TRENDS IN 1926-1933 HAVE CORRESPONDED WITH RENTAL TRENDS The valuation of farm real estate is naturally related over a period of time to the actually collected gross rents. Due regard must be given to outlays for taxes, 1 repairs, improvements, and insurance, and allow- ances for supervision and for sharing of risks of irregularity in the returns from crop and livestock enterprises in order to bridge the gap between gross and net rents. Inasmuch as net rents have greater sig- nificance than gross rents in matters of real-estate valuation, it is ob- vious that there are practical limits to the extent to which differences in gross rents between areas at the same time or between dates in the same area may be made the basis of far-reaching inferences. Never- theless it is clear from information collected by the 1930 Census for all Illinois counties, and from other data available by crop reporting districts, that important differences and trends have developed in the relations between valuations and gross rents. It is to the differences and trends, rather than to any of the figures standing by themselves, that attention may be called in an effort to understand the extent to which the 1930 farm real-estate valuations in Illinois may be adjudged to have significance from a long-time point of view. The information used here has to do only with cash-rented real estate. According to the Census of 1930, cash renting was not at that a See U. S. Census, 1930, monograph by W. B. Jenkins entitled "Taxes on Farm Property in the United States," Chapter IV, "Taxes and Gross Income From Cash-Rented Farms," especially pages 78 and 83: "For the United States, as a whole, 21.9 percent of the gross rent received by owners of cash-rented farms was required for taxes on those farms. . . "Among the individual States the highest proportion of gross cash rent required for taxes is shown for Michigan, where the percentage was 56.6, followed next by Pennsylvania, with a percentage of 46.9; and the lowest percentage of 11.1 is shown for Alabama, fol- lowed closely with 12.4 for Arkansas." The percentage for Illinois as a whole is 22.7, and for the crop reporting districts as follows: Dixon, 17.0; Chicago, 27.8; Galesburg, 18.3; Springfield, 23.0; Bloomington, 22.0; Champaign, 20.8; Mattoon, 24.5; Carbondale, 33.8; and Harrisburg, 26.7. 558 BULLETIN No. 399 [March, time a predominant mode of renting Illinois farm land.. Farms that were rented altogether for cash in 1930 constituted 18.9 percent of all farms in the state and 14.2 percent of the farm acreage. The cor- responding percentages for 1920 were 10.2 and 11.1 respectively. In 1920 farms that were rented on shares for part of the acreage and for cash for the balance of the acreage constituted 11.5 percent of all farms in the state and 14.8 percent of the farm acreage. While no separate classification of share-cash farms was made in 1925 or 1930, it is probable that the proportion of farms in that category was in- creased by 1930 possibly to 20 percent and the proportion of acreage possibly to 25 percent. This is in accord with a tendency, noted with reference to the latter part of the nineteenth century, for the propor- tion of tenant farms rented for cash in whole or in part to be increased during periods in which there is a downward trend in prices of farm products. 1 The information used here relates to cash-rented real estate, which includes on the one hand farms rented entirely for cash, however representative of neighboring farms they may be; and on the other hand cash-rented portions of share-cash farms, these cash-rented por- tions being in many cases the more broken and, at least in years when field crops are the main dependence for cash income, the less produc- tive parts of the farm. Moreover, the extent to which the cash-rented real estate may be representative of all farm real estate in a crop reporting district or county in one part of the state may be quite differ- ent from the extent of representativeness afforded by the cash-rented real estate of another part of the state. Nevertheless, examination of the information on cash rents in relation to realty valuations may be helpful at a time when attention is being given to the reconsidera- tion of farm real-estate valuations for loan and other purposes. Rent and Valuation Data in the 1930 Census The U. S. Census of April 1, 1930, reported valuations as of that date. The rents reported in the same inquiry were probably for 1929 in some cases and in other cases for 1930. In the latter case only the rents as contracted could be considered, whereas in the former case consideration could be given to the amounts of rent actually paid. In 1930, 19,051 cash tenant farms in Illinois reported rents aver- aging $5.91 an acre. 2 With a reported real-estate valuation of $136.85 'Stewart, C. L. "Cash Tenancy in the United States," in International Review of Agricultural Economics, n.s. 3, No. 2, 186-7, 1925. 2 U. S. Census, 1930, monograph by W. B. Jenkins, pages 77-8'3 and 105. 1934] FARM REAL ESTATE VALUATIONS IN ILLINOIS 559 an acre, the amount of rent per $100 realty valuation 1 on these farms was $4.32 (Fig. 4). In the Chicago and Carbondale districts it was less than $4; in the Bloomington and Champaign districts, between $4 and $5 ; and in the Springfield, Galesburg, Mattoon, and Harrisburg districts, between $5 and $6. In the counties where Chicago and, to a less extent, East St. Louis, and associated cities, were influencing farm real-estate valuations, the ratios of realty valuations to cash rents were large (Fig. 4). Com- pared with the valuations of farm real estate in 1920, the 1930 valua- tions were larger near Chicago and but little reduced near East St. Louis (Fig. 1). The 21 counties in which the amount of rent per $100 valuation in 1930 was below the state average (the amount of valuation per dollar of rent being correspondingly above the state aver- age) were, where metropolitan influence was strong, higher in valua- tion than agricultural rents could support and, where urban influence was less pronounced, were at that time not yet entirely free from speculative influences that had been especially marked in the preceding decade and a half. 2 Cash-rented farms in the 81 counties in which the amount of rent per $100 valuation was above the state average were, on the average, fewer in number or smaller in acreage, or both, than in the other 21 counties. In the counties where the influence of large cities has not been especially strong such counties being in the majority the ratios of realty valuations to cash rents, as shown by the 1930 Census, were lower where the more marked declines had occurred in valuations of land and buildings between 1920 and 1930. Valuations had apparently declined relatively more than cash rents in various parts of the state, thus causing the rent-valuation ratios to be brought to figures more representative of conservatism in relation to gross returns. Neverthe- less this movement had not progressed in such a way as to produce uniformity between various parts of the state in these ratios at the time the 1930 Census was taken. Even when those sections where the influence of large cities was felt are left out of account, chaotic rela- tionships of rent to realty valuations are still seen to have existed (Fig. 4). These relationships probably were characteristic of the situa- tion as it existed at that time both with respect to real estate rented for cash and that rented on shares. J It has seemed somewhat simpler to refer here to the amount of rent per $100 realty valuation than the percentage rents might be of the realty valuation. The former expres- sion is more adaptable, especially when changes and other differences need to be described by means of percentages. 2 Chambers, C. R., "Land Income in Relation to Land Value, U. S.

RENT REPORTED FOR ILLINOIS CASH TENANT FARMS FOR THE 1929 CROP YEAR PER $100 VALUATION OF LAND AND BUILDINGS ON APRIL 1, 1930, BY COUNTIES The nearly six-fold difference between the rent-valuation ratios in White county in the extreme southeast corner of the state and in Cook county in the extreme northeast corner of the state illustrates the effect of the farm land in Cook county being available for nonagricultural uses. The valuations in such cases are much higher than could be supported by cash-renting farm operators using the land and buildings for strictly agricultural purposes. (Map is based on U. S. Census data.) Rent and Valuation Data in the Annual Series Estimates based upon reports from comparatively small numbers of fairly well-distributed crop correspondents of the Illinois Coopera- tive Crop and Live Stock Reporting Service are used (Table 7) to show trends over the eight years centering about the time the 1930 Census was taken.

Plowlands had acre-valuations about 10 percent higher, rents per acre about 15 percent higher, and rents per $100 valuation about 20 percent higher than entire-farm figures. Since rents per $100 valua- tion, which ranged from about $5 to $6 an acre, are merely recipro- cals of valuations per dollar of rent, which ranged from about $16 to $20 an acre, it is clear that the former type of expression, because of the smaller base, magnifies differences when stated as percentages, while the latter type, because of the larger base, makes for smaller per- 562 BULLETIN No. 399 [March, centage differences. Thus, in valuations per dollar of rent plowland figures averaged smaller by 4 to 8 percent than entire- farm figures. April 1, 1930, the date of the latest Census information on cash- rented farms, was also the date at which, in the regular annual series, cash-rent information was collected for the three categories of farm real estate in Illinois and other states. In the annual series, to com- pare years subsequent to 1930 with figures most representative of con- ditions for which the Census was reporting, it has seemed best to use an average of the 1929 and 1930 figures. A reason for this is that the 1930 Census figures on cash rents probably rested as much upon the contracts of 1929 as upon those of the rent year then current. The figures for cash-rented farms shown in the annual series as averages for 1929-1930 differ somewhat from the corresponding fig- ures in the 1930 Census. The number of farms included in the Census was 19,051, whereas fewer than 2 percent as many farms were re- ported for the annual series in either 1929 or 1930. It is difficult to be sure that a fair sample is afforded by the annual figures for any year. It is possible that the annual figures gave too little representation, as a rule, to farms rented to relatives. 1 In the state as a whole the number of cash tenants related to landlords in 1930 was 5,806, or 30.4 per- cent of all cash tenants reporting rents. In 75 counties the rents paid by related cash tenants were reported as smaller than those paid by nonrelated tenants. In the state as a whole the average rent per acre paid by related cash tenants was $5.67 and by tenants not so related was $6.09. While valuations of real estate are not shown in the Census by classes of cash tenants, rents per $100 valuation were probably at least 7 percent lower on the kinship farms. 2 If crop correspondents reported mostly for real estate operated by nonrelated tenants as more representative of their localities, they gave a disproportionately small weight to the farms operated by related tenants. Whatever may be the reason for the cash-rent figures reported by the crop correspondents, and for the rent-valuation ratios derived from them, being higher than the Census indicates, the tendency seems to have been general thru- out the state. The data gathered by crop correspondents showed cash rents per $100 valuation to be $5.20 for entire farms, while the Census showed them as $4.32, a difference of less than a percentage point when the rent is viewed as return on investment. The declines in valuation per acre shown in Tables 7 and 8 for 1 Note the wording of the Census inquiry: "Do you rent this farm from your own or your wife's parent, grandparent, brother, or sister?"

The highest ratios which the Harrisburg district valuations represented in relation to the Chicago district valuations was 45 per- cent in the case of cash-grain farm dwellings, and the lowest 21 per- cent in the case of part-time farm dwellings. The highest ratio for nondwellings was on cash-grain farms, 30 percent, and the lowest on dairy farms, 20 percent. In valuations of all buildings per farm, for all types of farms con- sidered together, the nine districts ranked from highest to lowest as follows: Chicago, Dixon, Champaign, Bloomington, Galesburg, Mat- toon, Springfield, Carbondale, and Harrisburg. Individual types of farms showed district rankings that departed one and two places from the rankings just indicated for all farms, but none of the differences were significant. When farmers' dwellings are considered separately, the different districts follow the same ranking as above, except that the Bloomington district takes third place and the Champaign district fourth. Here again individual types of farms show district rankings differing somewhat from those of all farms. Valuations of buildings other than farmers' dwellings had district rankings the same as those for all buildings except that the Springfield district was sixth and the Mattoon district seventh. Individual types of farms departed from this ranking by no more than a single rank. In valuations of land alone per farm, the ranking of the districts was as follows: Champaign, Bloomington, Chicago, Dixon, Galesburg, Springfield, Mattoon, Carbondale, and Harrisburg. For individual types of farms district rankings ranged rather widely, the Champaign district, for example, ranking first in . general and animal-specialty farms, second in cash-grain and dairy farms, fourth in poultry farms, fifth in self-sufficing farms, and sixth in part-time farms. In the Chi- cago, Dixon, and Springfield districts some individual types of farms showed ranks two points removed from that indicated for all types of farms. For all types except cash-grain farms the Harrisburg district had the lowest valuations of land per farm. It will be noted that the Chicago and Dixon districts, which ranked above the Champaign and Bloomington districts in valuation of all buildings per farm ranked below these two central Illinois districts in valuation of land per farm, this same relationship holding for most types of farms. Proximity to large cities and other influences tending to encourage dairying and animal-specialty farming caused both farm dwellings and nondwellings in some districts to be of more valuable type, size, and construction than in the state as a whole. When allowance is made for differences in size of farms, the tendency for district differences to overshadow type-of-farm differ- 576 BULLETIN No. 399 [March, ences still persists. The priority of Chicago and Dixon in acre-valua- tions of buildings is even more marked than it is in valuations of buildings per farm. In valuation of land alone Chicago holds first place when all farms are considered except those raising cash-grain crops, in which group Bloomington, Champaign, and Mattoon lead. Soil, climate, market distance, and other basic factors have evi- dently operated to keep the valuations of various real-estate items in balance within each farm type and between districts. Thus the further analysis of geographic differences existing in 1930, as developed in the next section, may show the effects of certain influences that are likely to persist between districts even in the face of marked changes that may occur in farm-production emphasis, even, for example, despite a conceivable trend toward self-sufficing, part- time, and other special types of farms. VALUATIONS OF FARM REALTY IN MINOR CIVIL DIVISIONS, 1930 Census information concerning farm real estate has become avail- able by minor civil divisions for Illinois as a whole only for 1930 1 The only items of agricultural information published on this basis in the regular Census reports are, with the exception of values of farm implements and machinery, those dealing with real-estate items. 2 Number and Characteristics of Minor Civil Divisions Minor civil divisions, as reported for Illinois by the U. S. Census of agriculture, are designed mostly as townships, but in 15 counties they are designated as precincts (Table 13). This is in accordance with local practice in these IS counties, which, together with two other counties, both in the Carbondale district, have a commission form of government organization. 3 In form and size, precincts in precinct J The U. S. Census of 1930 shows number of farms, farm acreage, and values of farm land and buildings, farm buildings, farmers' dwellings, and farm implements and machinery by minor civil divisions in Illinois. Other official information relative to minor civil di- visions has been confined mostly to results of surveys of less changeable factors, such as areas and soils, and to summaries essential to the collection and disbursement of state and local tax funds. 2 Type-of-f arming information by minor civil divisions is available in an analysis of farming-type areas in Illinois made by H. C. M. Case and K. H. Myers, under a coopera- tive project between the University of Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station and the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, U. S. Department of Agriculture. The results of the analysis are being incorporated in a forthcoming bulletin of the University of Illinois Agri- cultural Experiment Station. 3 Of these two counties, Johnson and Williamson, the latter voted to return to the nontownship form of government in 1932. For explanation of administrative and other differ- ences between township and nontownship forms of government see Hunter, M. H., "Costs of Township and County Government in Illinois," University of Illinois, College of Com- :merce and Business Administration, Bureau of Business Research, Bui. 45, 1933, page 9. 1934] FARM REAL ESTATE VALUATIONS IN ILLINOIS 577 TABLE 13.

The 1,628 minor civil divisions of Illinois for which agricultural information was reported for 1930 include all but six 1 of those for which population statistics were reported. The average county in Illinois lacks 904 acres of containing 16 surveyor's townships of 23,040 acres each, and the average minor civil division lacks 1,008 acres of containing the full area of one such township. The proportion of minor civil divisions that approximate in size and shape the usual surveyor's township, which is six miles square, is much higher than the proportion of counties approximating any corresponding norm. For these reasons township and precinct in- formation is well adapted to graphic representation. 2 1 These are as follows: Cook county, Berwyn, Oak Park, River Forest, and Riverside; Rock Island county, Rock Island; and St. Clatr county, Stites. Cunningham township in Champaign county was erected too late to be recognized in either the census of agriculture or the census of population. 2 Not all advantages from an analysis standpoint are on the side of minor civil divisions as against counties. An example of the disadvantages in records representing these smaller units is afforded by the effect which the method of recording borderline farms has upon the total area reported for a unit. In some townships and precincts the acreage reported in farms is in excess of the total land area of the unit, this peculiar situation resulting from the fact that the Census reports include as undivided farms those farms that overlap a civil division boundary as well as those lying entirely within it. In some units the location of farmers' dwellings with relation to these boundaries is such that a township ^oses more je- in regions where ranches and other types of farms are very large. MINOR CIVIL DIVISIONS -rcrr UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION FIG. 6. KEY TO MINOR CIVIL DIVISIONS FARM REAL ESTATE VALUATIONS IN ILLINOIS 579 Minor Civil Division Averages Compared With County and Crop Reporting District Averages It is not surprising that in a state having as widely diversified con- ditions as Illinois, the farm real-estate averages should show consider- able diversity even when district averages are considered. These dif- ferences are, of course, small compared with those which appear be- tween county averages and smaller still than those that occur between minor civil divisions (Table 14). In acres per farm minor-civil-division averages tended not to differ greatly from the largest district average or from the largest county average, as evidenced by the fact that the largest district average was 59 percent and the largest county average 72 percent of the largest average for a minor civil division. District and even county averages of acres per farm were comparatively uniform. In respect to average real-estate valuations per farm and per acre rather different tendencies are indicated. The smallest minor civil division averages for the eight types of farms ranged from 59 to 71 percent of the smallest county averages and from 31 to 54 percent of the smallest district averages. At the other end of the range, however, there were divergences of striking degrees. In only one comparison was the highest county figure as much as 30 percent of the highest minor civil division figure that based on valuation of farmer's dwell- ings per farm. In valuations per acre the largest county averages were only about 2 to 5 percent of the largest minor civil division figures, and the largest district averages were only 1 to 2 percent of the largest civil division figures. The average valuation of buildings per farm, reported for Deerfield township, Lake county, was 127 times that reported for Monroe pre- cinct, Pope county. The divergence among these minor civil divisions in valuations of nondwellings per farm was twice as marked as the EXPLANATORY LEGEND FOR FIG. 6 The map on the opposite page shows the crop reporting districts, counties, and minor civil divisions in Illinois in 1930. In the U. S. Census of 1930 agri- cultural information was reported for 1,628 minor civil divisions in Illinois. The 102 counties of the state are grouped for crop reporting purposes into 9 districts, and this same grouping is used thruout this bulletin in designating different parts of the state. The numbers assigned to the various minor civil divisions in the above map indicate the positions of these divisions in their respective counties in the master table shown on pages 589 to 614. Thus in Shelby county (crop reporting district 6a, Mattoon) the minor civil division numbered 10 is the 10th one named under the county heading on page 610, or Moweaqua township.

Generally speaking the dwell- ings showed less difference than the other buildings. The ratios showing divergences between minor civil divisions in respect to valuations of buildings per acre are less than one-tenth as large as the ratios shown when the corresponding comparisons are made on an acre basis. Minor Civil Division Valuation Averages for Different Items Average valuations of real estate per farm and per acre, when com- puted by minor civil divisions for Illinois, fall into groups which, ac- cording to the real-estate item analyzed, have significance from the standpoint of their statistical and geographic concentrations. Average Valuation per Farm: Farmers' Dwellings. The valua- tions placed upon farmers' dwellings are of significance from the standpoint of farm family living. The mathematical distribution of these valuations among seven intervals (Table 15, page 586, and Fig. 7, page 582) not only confirms the wide territorial differences previ- ously indicated, but shows significant concentrations. Taking the state as a whole, nearly half (46 percent) of the town- ships and precincts had dwellings valued between $2,000 and $4,000. More than half the divisions in the Dixon, Chicago, Bloomington, and Champaign districts fell between these limits. In the Galesburg, Springfield, and Carbondale districts over half the divisions had valua- tions falling between $1,000 and $2,000. In the Harrisburg district the large majority and in the Mattoon district a plurality of the townships had dwelling valuations falling between $500 and $1,000. Average Valuation per Farm: Buildings Other Than Farmers' Dwellings. Buildings other than farmers' dwellings show divergences in value more marked than those of dwellings (Tables 14 and 15). While in 79.2 percent of the townships and precincts valuations for dwellings averaged between $1,000 and $4,000, in only 57.0 percent of them did average valuations of other buildings fall in that range. More than four times as many townships and precincts had nondwell- ings with average valuations above $4,000 as had dwellings above that figure. The proportion which the valuations of nondwellings were of all buildings was 50.5 percent. More than half the townships in the Dixon, Chicago, Bloomington, and Champaign districts had nondwellings averaging in value between $2,000 and $4,000 ( Fig. 8) . In the Galesburg and Springfield districts over half had average valuations of $1,000 and $2,000.

In the Dixon, Bloom- ington, and Champaign districts there were more townships having valuations of nondwellings between $2,000 and $4,000 than had dwell- ing valuations in that range, and the same holds for valuations between $1,000 and $2,000 in the Galesburg district. In the Chicago district, with its higher concentration of valuations both for dwellings and for nondwellings, and in the Carbondale, Harrisburg, and Mattoon dis- tricts, where valuations concentrated in the lower ranges, dwellings showed tendencies toward higher valuations than nondwellings. In Tables 15 and Figs. 7 to 9 the intervals used to show distribution of townships according to valuations per acre are of equal and not of progressively larger span, and they thus differ from the intervals used for showing distributions according to valuations per farm, the latter being designed to prevent the comparatively few cases of very low and very high value from having undue emphasis. Average Valuation per Acre: All Farm Buildings. For three- fifths of the minor civil divisions of Illinois average valuations of all farm buildings per acre ranged between $12 and $30. This left 12.8 percent of the divisions with averages lower than $12 and 27.7 percent with averages higher than $30. Of the 206 divisions having valuations under $12 all but 23 were in the Harrisburg, Carbondale, and Mattoon districts. Of the 187 divisions having valuations over $42 all but 33 were in the Chicago and Dixon districts. Average Valuation per Acre: Land and Buildings. Valuations of land apart from buildings are shown by minor civil divisions in the master table (pages 589 to 614), and analyses already made indicate the relative importance of buildings compared with land in Illinois farm real-estate valuations of 1930 and some earlier dates. Estimates of changes between 1930 and the three years since do not differentiate between land and buildings but cover the real estate as a whole. According to the 1930 data (Table 15), 5.6 percent of the town- ships and precincts of Illinois had valuations of land and buildings per acre of less than $30, and 9.1 percent had averages of more than $180. Of the remaining 85.3 percent more than one-fourth had aver- ages between $30 and $60, nearly one-fourth between $120 and $150, EXPLANATORY LEGEND FOR FIG. 7 The map on the opposite page shows average valuations of farmers' dwell- ings per farm in Illinois on April 1, 1930, by minor civil divisions. The tendency for the highest average valuations to be reported for northern Illinois and for portions of central Illinois is to be noted. (Map is based on U. S. Census data. All farm dwellings other than the dwelling of the operator of the farm were presumably included with those of "other buildings," Fig. 8).

NONDWELLINGS VALUATIONS FARM REAL ESTATE VALUATIONS IN ILLINOIS 585 the other three thirty-dollar intervals having proportions in excess of one-eighth each. Thus there were two major concentrations, one of low valuations, in the Carbondale, Mattoon, and Harrisburg districts, where more than two-thirds of the divisions fell within the $30 to $60 interval, and the other of medium-high valuations, in the Dixon, Bloomington, and Chicago districts (Fig. 9). The most significant concentration of valuations above $150 was in the Champaign, Bloom- ington, and Chicago districts. It is of interest to note the concentrations of extremely low and extremely high divisional valuations for land and buildings per acre. At one extreme there are five counties in which the average divisional valuation of land and buildings was under $20 an acre in 1930. These are: Alexander, 1; Hardin, 4; Jackson, 1; Marion, 2; and Pope, 7; a total of 15 such divisions, all of them precincts in the southern portion of southern Illinois where topographic and soil conditions were important handicaps. At the other extreme there were 14 townships in which the average acre-valuation of farm land and buildings was reported as over $1,000. These were distributed as follows: Cook, 9; Lake, 3; McLean, 1 ; and Peoria, 1. It is to be granted that the metropolitan influence of Chi- cago and associated cities is revealed in valuations shown for town- ships in Cook, Lake, and nearby counties. Some of the highest figures are for properties which are not strictly agricultural. High site-values for land and extensive equipments in buildings, quite remote in type and function from those which constitute the usual structures essen- tial to farming, are associated with many of the so-called farms in townships where very high valuations are reported. It is indicated on the face of the 1930 Census returns by minor civil divisions that there are in Illinois comparatively large contiguous areas of land which have attracted little in the way of structural im- provement and which have little in the way of favorable topography and soil to recommend them to operators seeking annual returns in agricultural or horticultural uses. Farms in these areas are small and valuations both per acre and per farm are small. These facts afford no assurance, however, that overvaluation has been avoided, altho the low EXPLANATORY LEGEND FOR FIG. 8 The map on the opposite page shows average valuations of farm buildings other than farmers' dwellings, per farm, in Illinois, by minor civil divisions on April 1, 1930. Valuations of farm buildings other than the dwelling of the operator varied in the different sections of the state in a way similar to the variations shown for dwellings. In regions where dairy and animal specialty farms were especially numerous, valuations of nondwellings were higher than those for dwellings. (Map is based on U. S. Census data.)

It is not to be wondered at that nearly one- fourth of the farms in the Harrisburg district and nearly one-fifth in the Carbondale district were self-sufficing and part-time farms, the latter group being about half as numerous as the former in each district. The proportion of such farms in some of the more backward localities in these dis- tricts is greatly in excess of the averages cited. While certain areas of the state may thus be suspected on the basis of the valuation analysis of being submarginal from the standpoint of annual returns from crops, and even from livestock, a more far reaching study of all the factors involved in land utilization would be necessary to outline such areas definitely. Master Table Showing Detailed Statistics for Minor Civil Divisions The average valuations per farm and per acre shown in the fol- lowing pages were derived by the division of Land Economics, Department of Agricultural Economics, University of Illinois, from statistics published in the U. S. Census for 1930. It is well for any- one using these figures to remember that basically they represent the ideas of the farm operators themselves as to the value of their land and buildings on April 1, 1930. To locate the counties or any minor civil divisions within a county, reference may be made to Fig. 6 and its explanatory legend, pages 578-579. Geographical groupings of minor civil divisions with respect to valuations of farmers' dwellings per farm, of build- ings other than dwellings, and of land and buildings per acre are shown in Figs. 7, 8, and 9. The detailed data in this master table furnish the basis for the analyses and generalizations concerning minor civil divisions pre- sented in this bulletin. EXPLANATORY LEGEND FOR FIG. 9 The map on the opposite page shows average valuations of farm land and buildings per acre in Illinois by minor civil divisions on April 1, 1930. In valua- tion of farm land and buildings per acre sectional variations follow soil types with striking closeness. Nevertheless marked local variations occur as a result of the presence of cities.

The 1930 U. S. Census has gained in value by introducing township tabulations for farm real estate and related agricultural items into its published reports. In recent decades monetary valuations assigned to farm land and buildings have exhibited more movement and more shift in direction 1934} FARM REAL ESTATE VALUATIONS IN ILLINOIS 615 of movement than had been expected by most borrowers, lenders, and others associated with real estate. An upward movement in realty valuations culminated in 1920. From 1850 to the years immediately preceding the World War, this movement was more marked in Illinois than in the United States as a whole, but from the immediate prewar period to 1920 it was less marked in Illinois than in the country as a whole. From 1920 to 1930 the downward movement in valuations was more marked in Illinois than in the entire country. By 1930, valuations of land and buildings per acre in Illinois had returned to figures, which, by comparison with those for the country as a whole, were more in keeping with the smaller state-to-national ratios that held in years centering about 1890 than with the larger ratios of 1900 and later. The further lowering of valuations between 1930 and 1933 proceeded at a more rapid rate in Illinois than in the country as a whole. The degree of decline in acre- valuations of farm realty between 1920 and 1930 was greater in east-central Illinois than in other parts of the state. Between 1920 and 1930 comparatively small decreases took place in southwestern and lower southern counties of Illinois and in the northern and northeastern counties. Acre-valuations declined year by year during 1931, 1932, and 1933 in all parts of Illinois, areas near the cities, even near the largest cities, showing persistent and marked declines similar to those in more rural areas. The statistical relations between farm realty valuations and cash rents for the use of such realty are always illuminating to those seek- ing to learn whether valuations are conservative or excessive. On more than 19,000 cash tenant farms in Illinois in 1930 realty valuations were 23 times the annual gross rent. In other words, there was an annual cash rent of $4.32 for every $100 of realty valuation. Smaller amounts of rent per $100 valuation are shown by federal studies to have been characteristic of various parts of Illinois, particularly in the central crop reporting districts, during the two decades 1910 to 1930. Valuations of farm realty that are too far out of line with cash rents are likely in time to be drawn up or down into closer balance. Thruout the state rent-valuation ratios on cash tenant farms have been rising from year to year at least since 1926. The relatively high ratios of gross cash rent to realty valuation recently attained may mark a point of at least temporary turning from the decline in realty valua- tions that took place from 1920 to 1933. A wide range is observed among the 1,628 minor civil divisions of Illinois in average valuations of farm buildings. Deerfield township, 616 BULLETIN No. 399 Lake county, exhibiting the highest valuation, had an average 127 times as large per farm and 1,326 times as large per acre as the minor civil divisions having the smallest averages. The average valuation of a farmer's dwelling was 50 times as high in West Deerfield township, Lake county, as in Cairo precinct, Alexander county; and other build- ings per farm averaged over 400 times as high in Deerfield township, Lake county, as in Metropolis precinct, Massac county. Buildings other than farmers' dwellings were valued at less than $500 a farm, as an average, in 8.5 percent of the minor civil divisions of the state in 1930. About 3 million acres of land is included in these divisions. Farmers' dwellings were valued at less than $500 a farm in 1.3 percent of these divisions. The area included in this group is less than a half million acres. Nearly all the minor civil divisions showing such low valuations for buildings are in southern Illinois. In 4.9 percent of the minor civil divisions of the state buildings other than farmers' dwellings had average valuations in excess of $4,000 a farm in 1930, and in 1.2 percent farmers' dwellings were valued in excess of this amount. These divisions are located in the two northern crop reporting districts, mostly in the Chicago district. There was no minor civil division, and consequently no larger area, in 1930, in which land in Illinois was not valued at a higher figure than buildings even tho land valuations had been slumping during the preceding decade and buildings were reported to have increased some- what in valuation. Altho the present study does not include 1930-1933 data on valuations of farm buildings, there is no doubt that while buildings have joined in the decline, land valuations have declined more drastically. Thus buildings have tended to constitute an in- creasingly larger part of the total farm realty valuations in Illinois. This change has occurred in farms of all types and sizes noted herein and with practically no regard to the level at which their valuations were resting at any given time. The present study, devoted as it is to a presentation of the Illinois farm real-estate situation in its local detail, may constitute a helpful approach to the problems that are now arising in the revaluation of real estate after the thirteen years of drastic decline from the 1920 peak.
