Excerpt from The Farm Real Estate Situation, 1928-29 Calculated not as a percentage of the pre-war average but as a percentage of the position reached on March 1, 1928, the weighted average value per acre for the country as a whole showed about a 1 per cent decline during 1928 - 29. This was half the loss shown for 1927 - 28. Continuation of the downward movement during 1928 and early 1929 brought the national average value as of March 1, 1929, down to a position 16 per cent above the 1912 - 1914 level taken as the pre-war average, and 19 points higher than the average in 1912, the earliest year for which the bureau's data are available. This is one point below the position reached in 1917, when the index for the country as a whole stood '17 points above pre-war. On March 1, 1928, the index stood at the same level as in 1917. Reckoned as a percentage of its 1920 peak, the national average on March 1, 1929, had come down nearly one-third. The 1920 figure was 70 per cent above pre-war. On the other hand, reckoned in rela tion to its pre-war position, by March 1, 1929, three - fourths of the war-time gain of 70 per cent in the national average had been canceled.

Excerpt from The Farm Real Estate Situation, 1927-1928 Corn and Cotton Belts. But in both the declines were smaller than during 1926 - 27. A price break so drastic as occurred with cotton in 1926 brings consequences from which immediate recovery in farm real estate values is hardly to be expected. However, the generally improved cotton situation appeared to have been a hardening influence on values in some Southern States, especially in Alabama and Georgia. Equally encouraging was the fact that for the first time in many years reported values in Montana and the Dakotas showed a tendency toward comparative firmness. The available evidence begins to point to the conclusion that the mountain region has put behind it the worst phases of the depression. That doesn't mean recovery in all sections of that territory yet, however, for wreckage still remains to be cleared away. In much of this territory, also, the vagaries of the weather always constitute an uncertain factor on the income side of land. Likewise the notably encouraging tendency shown by values in the Dakotas can not yet be taken as a sign that the bottom has been fully reached.
