Excerpt from The Farm Real Estate Situation, 1930-31 Values in the East North Central and South Atlantic States de clined per cent on an average, and those in the East South Cen tral declined per cent. Declines in individual States ranged from 5 per cent in Michigan to per cent in Illinois, from per cent in Maryland to per cent in North Carolina, and from per cent in Tennessee to in Kentucky for the respective geographic divisions. Voluntary-sales activity has been falling off fairly consistently over these areas, and during the last year, the rate reached the lowest levels in the available record, not only for the division as a whole, but for a majority of the individual States in these divisions. Forced sales, which on the whole have been less frequent in these States than in either the Mountain or the West North Central States, have become more frequent than voluntary sales. The South Atlantic group averaged about two forced sales to one voluntary sale last year, with two States reporting more than three, forced sales to every voluntary sale. The rate of distress sales increased sharply in the East South Central States, reaching farms per as compared with in the South Atlantic States and 24 in the East North Central States. Renewed slight declines have replaced the stable-to-upward tendencies noted a year ago in the-mountain and Pacific States, and voluntary - sales have shown a considerable drop. Forced sales on the other hand increased sharply, abruptly terminating the tendency apparent in recent years, especially in the Mountain States, toward a more normal relationship between voluntary and distress transactions.

Excerpt from The Farm Real Estate Situation, 1931-32 There has been very little activity in the farm land market in the past year in Ohio. There have been very few sales and those consisted largely of fore closures, the foreclosures taking place mostly in the western part of the State, the eastern part not being so much affected because southeastern Ohio farms are mostly owner operated and northeastern Ohio farms have been protected somewhat by the dairy industry.

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.
