FARM LAND VALUES IN IOWA. In the last issue of this REVIEW (p. 644) appeared a review of the results of an investigation of farm land values in Iowa, issued by the United States Department of Agriculture. At the time the REVIEW went to press the bulletin had not yet appeared and therefore it was not practicable to give specific credit for the authorship of the publication. The results of the investigation have been published under the title of Farm Land Values in Iowa, by L. C. Gray and O. G. Lloyd, Bulletin No. 874, United States Department of Agriculture. The investigations were made in coöperation with the Iowa Agricultural College which was represented by O. G. Lloyd.

This bulletin is the first product of the Division of Land Economics, of the newly organized Office of Farm Management and Farm Economics. Dr. L. C. Gray is in charge of the division. The establishment of this field of work in the Department of Agriculture represents a recognition by the department of the fact that the nation has reached the close of an epoch in its policies with respect to agricultural land and that it is necessary to anticipate by systematic investigation the formulation of policies that will regulate in the interest of national welfare the tenure and use of land rather than merely provide for the alienation of the public domain.

Although the investigational work of the Division of Land Economics has been under way little more than a year, numerous investigations are being carried on concerning the following major topics: causes and significance of tenancy, the distribution of farm land ownership, methods of facilitating the ownership of land, land values and methods of valuation with special reference to measuring the influence of the factors determining rents and values, the tenant contract and methods of improving it in various systems of farming, organization of estate farming with special reference to the plantation system, conditions determining the use or non-use of agricultural land in various regions, and methods of land settlement and colonization public and private. This is a field of economic research in which additional well trained students are needed.

Attention of professors of economics is called to the fact that land economics is a field of research that is likely to offer opportunities of increasing importance in the next few years to young men and women who have had the suitable training and that not only the United

States Department of Agriculture but the colleges of agriculture and other public agencies, national and state, will provide attractive employment for men trained for work in this field. H. C. T.
