No. The value of their land depends upon the mere presence of other people. Some of our land-owners here in New York City have never even seen their pro- perty. Land values are created by the community. They do not depend upon an owner's industry or ability except his ability to “ham: on."

He was offered the pick of the two for $1,- 200. Deciding shortly that he would like both. he offeredto buy them together for $2,400. But the owner demanded $2,600; and when my friend in great astonishment inquir- ed the reason of the raise, he re- ceived this answer: “If you buy one of the lots and improve it, your improvements add $200 to the value of the other lot. -I could get that price from an- other intending purchaser." create them.

In ten lyears, from 1900 to 1910. our pop- Iulation increased 15 millions. of 21 lper cent..; our larm area increased a itrifle over four per cent.; our meat lproducing animals actually dropped lofl 20 millions in number. Presid- ent Tait has proposed for this coun- try what several European countries have already adopted. namely a co- operative credit system based upon There is a tract of unequaled farming or truck gardening land in the Northern part of the town of South Porcupine which could be diflded into five or ten acre plots. This land could be cleared at a mall cost, put under cultivation and made to pay 100 per cent. on every. dollar invested. and reduce the cost of livmg in every household in the camp. One dozen five ncre tracts under truck gardening or mull farm- ing will do more to build up a town than any other industry employing .ten times the number of people and tzhirty times the amount of capital. {Read the following: -- land values. that will enable farm- ers to secure the funds necessary for the proper and rapid development of their lzunds.

Brass bands and publicity bur- eaus. It is backed by the reports of experts who have examined sim- ilar systems in various European states that were forced by necessity to meet the needs of their people. and is now presented to the gover- nors of the various states for their consideration. This, along with the proposed system of education in scientific farming, will mean hund- reds of millions annually to the farmer and hundreds of millions to thosewho consume his products.
