TOO MUCH LAND SOLD
Not Enough Land Culti-
vated Says Madison Is
Cause of Economic Problem.
Indiscriminate land selling and lack
of development has caused an eco-
nomic problem which needs attention
said H. M. Madison General F. k L.
agent of the 8. A. & A. P tollway
in a apeceli before the American Kail-
way Development Association at Chi-
cago last week. "WVliile the econonrc
and other problems before us are va-
rious current and public comment
point to those of farming and rail-
roading as the ohes needing attento n
and it would be folly to say that laud
devclopihcbt is the one solution yet
it is just to say that it is a gr -at
factor” Ue said. Because of their na-
ture and wide-flung interests rail-
roads seem fitte'd for this leadership
he stated. Mr. Madison said:
Twenty-five years ago there were
two large ranches on cur lines about
75 miles apart. Just before this land
on Kancli No. 1 sold for $5 per acre
while the wholesale price on Ranch
No. 2 to the land agents was SIU
per acre.
"The operations on Ranch No. 1
consisted of improving the land with
little attention given to selling tin
the second ranch sales were Started
with a large advertising campaign
and little attention was given to hit. 1
development The retail price was
$4O per ac re. I
'‘A little more than 20 years hare
passed. Ranch No. 1 is practica”y
all in crops more having been sold
than was in the first area of opera-
tions. the cotton preunction possibly
outranks Hat of any similar area in
the United States aud the feed crops
are of the best. Only one crop fail-
ure has been .made in 23 years and
boll weevils are uuder connnerc'al
control. Tho farm cur-toms have been
built up through the active gui|iacc
of the be.it farm ability available and
the farm organisation has been re-
ferred to iu such flattering terms that
J hesitate to quote them. On tin
ranch art three thriving towns mid
through it runs a fine hard-surfacctl
road. There are several industrial
plants on the ranch which handle its
farm products.
No. 2 Is Undeveloped.
"The picsent cultivated area con-
sists of nearly 00.000 acres and the
crop production of the ranch includ-
ing the farm products milled on it
has averaged for the past five years
about $3500000 annually.
"On Ranch No. 2 less than 10 pct
cent of the land is cleared and not
over 5 per cent is cultivated. There
are the remains of a land-boom town
and hotel. Also a few gritty but lis-
couraged citizens who derive most -;f
such income as they lave from dairy-
ing and poultry raising. There is a
small orange grove and several scat-
tered citrus fruit trees on the ranch
that plainly point to citrus fruit as
the leading crop.
"tThe first ranch has produced r.
vssion of fine crops and the tntp:-
*“nt has become wealthy. Leys

0. .1 ~.4W. .-Aches are served
exclusive* by our lines nnd in ths
past throe years Ranch No. 2 and
environs les furnished us with 2278
tons of farm freight while Ranch No.
1 has furnished us with 83.670 tons.
Ranch No. 1 received only 41 per
cent ns much freight ns it sent out.
v hile the incoming shipments on No.
2 equalled 100 per cent of the out-
going ones
“Ono cannot refrain from wonder-
ing why data nnd figures making su-h
conditions plain have not been sought
out. If it be said that such condi
tions are local to each road then it
is pointed out that mwo than half
the freight originating on Ranch No.
1 wont off our lines into interline
tetritory. nnd an indefinite number cf
railways were benefited thereby.
Development Affects Railways
"This interline freight idea broadens
the discussion to the point where it
becomes .nteresting to every rnilrwl
to know how other railroads me
handling lands along their lines. Lo-
cal conditions along nry line enn he
referred to as not only illustrations
but as factors in the common problem
of land development.
"Perhaps the citrus fruits of Cali
fornia present a mor» widely known
basis for presenting this fact. There
were 225.277 acres of oranges ami
lemons in California in 1622 and pro-
duction was listed nt 21.000.000 bores
having a farm value cf 557.375.000 or
mi average of 5250 per ncre.
"The car lot rate from Loa An-
geles to San Antov io. Chicago and
New York was 51.73 per cwt. ind’ent-
in? a possible freight bill nf $14500-
(100. nr around SOO per ncre. Tn tins'
practlcallv every railroad in the
TnOcd States had an interest.
"Tn vsrving degrees every railroad
in the United States has an inte-ocs
in the cotton tonnage of the south
the wheat nnd grain crops of the mid-
dle states nnd the livestock production
of the whole country. Rut fnr these
things scarcely a Northeastern or an
Fastcrn Seaboard railway in tb.’
T’nitd States could have earned a
dividend.
"Tn some particular way. the de-
velopmen* of lands in of concern »o
every railway and there would seem
fo he Justification for giving much eu-
hrged attention to it.
i “On present average productions
land land prices about one-third of a
I farm must be cultivated to meet taser
interest and other ftwd essential
charges. When about 85 ptr cent is
SUNDAY. •
in crops its maximum earning power
has probably been reached.
“In Texas only 22 per ent of the
farm lands or 14 per cent of the area
is in crops. This percentage may be
higher or lower in other parts of the
south and west; in older settled states
posaibiy high laud valuation may be r.
correspond ng factor.
Sales Raise Interest Charges.
"The interest on the raw farmlands
of Texas approximates $ I 00000000
annually or around 20 per cent cf
the value of the state’) crops—a tax
difficult for any kind -of production
to stand. But whrrever interest
charges run on raw laud they consti-
tute a tax on farm production in
larger or smaller prorortions.
“The expensive old-style' land cam-
paigns in their price boosting meth-
ods have in th 6 last twenty years
probably i-elded around $100000000
yearly to the interest charges .on ruw
land in Texas. The figures would be
appalling for the whole country. Suf-
fice it to say that land values in the
United States have' been increased
about 400 per cent in the Inst 30
years as against only about 41 per
cent increase In improved land anti
that the interest charge on this ft-
crease alone might reach two billion
dollars or more and constitutes a tax
on farm production that would stag-
ger any industry. This not only con-
stitutes an indictment' against old
land-selling methods that should in-
spire a nation-wide campaign to wipe
them from the face of the earth but
it points to the fallacy of politicians
raising the cry of ‘watered stock’ in
railroads when hunting farmers votes
and clearly indicates any proposed re-
duction in fafm freights would be n
mere bagatelle compared with ’ the
larger and enduring benefits from land
development.
“In Texas there is around 26000.-
000 acres in cultivation nnd average
crop values are aroutyl $800.000°00
annually or. perchapce nearly $3O
per acre. But the crop values on
Ranch No. 1 before alluded to. have
averaged about $53 per acre for the
last five years. This is duo more to
’the bettor farm metnods that sound
land development methods have
brought than to anything else. It is
probable that a careful study of any
place where similar methods have been
used will reveal similar increases in
production.
Need Development Plan.
“Owing to the large percentages of
farm freight that goes into interline
traffic land development in Texas
California or Minnesota becomes in-
tensely interesting to railroads in
Pennsylvania Ohio and New England
and generally to all railroads anu
and ocean carriers.
“If a land development plan could
be formulated that would be broad
enough and flexible enough to com*
into genet al use much would have
been gained. .
“Much material for it could be garh-
gred from considering the methods of
James J. Hill the laws of California
and other states the accomplishments
of other countries nnd the irrigation
projects of the United States. There
are also sidelights whose illuminating
says couil be focused.
“In Texas there has never been
either government or slate aid in land
development its public lands did not
become government property when tl:e
Lone Star State was’ admitted to the
union and ns the state constitution
contains clause which prevents tne
legislature front appropriating money
for colonization purposes. In the early
days. Texas was a great cattle coun-
try and land acreages were accumu-
lated into vast ranches and there wax
little disposition among’ranch ownets
to encourage farming to many ranch-
men fell prey to alleged colonlznilaa
companies whose ostensible business
was to cut up ranches and sell them
but whose real business was to make
swollen co-umfssions—and repeat them
on multiple re-sales.
"When the Federal Land Bank
Act became effective making it pos-
sible to obtain low rate long-time
loans and limiting the use of mdne"
'to carrying farm improvements and
paying of existing dens there came
solid encouragement for taking up
land devr'opmcnt propositions. The
capital was arranged for —under cer-
tain specific conditions.
• “It remcined td formv’ate n system
that would meet these conditions be
self-dependent fnrnisti its own opeint-
ing acherie generate its own motive
power ijipcal to land owners drnw
the interest of farmers and produrc
adequate land development.
• He Names Essentials.
“To evolve such a system was not
easy. There were false leads. Thore
were failures of efforts. There were
different interest* to harmonize. Very
little assistance camo from old fund
selling methods as they were out of
date and inadequate. High codiuis-
sions were charged under them anil
the expense of selling sometimes ex-
ceeded the value of the lands yet fre-
quently such selling did not bring
about over 5 or 10 per cent of land
developmmt. Sooner cr later aston-
ishingly high percentages of raw land*
bought wcr - forced our of the purchas-
ers’ possession. With all'the old-
style selling and re-w.lin* of lands
up to this time less than 25 per cent
of the farmlands of Tixan are in cul-
tivation. So there seems ample ret-
eon to consign the old-style land sell-
ing meth-ids to the limbo of the r-^
grctnblo *ast.
“In considering a plan for land de-
velopment it Ls felt that the essentials
‘are: To secure purchasing farmers
and place them on suitable land n id
under such financial conditions that
they can f > forward in a spirit of con-
fidence to the attainment of thrift and
success and three things seem to bring
this about: to prepare suitable farm
land; to erect farm buildings; to ar-
range convenient payments.
“Usuall* the chief difficulty was
the purebasers' lack of capital; if
it was ini|.t.ired or exhausted in mak-
ing the firs- casli payn ent there was
left no adequate resources for land
improvement or crop growing; the
purchaser would be broke before he
started.
"While the Federal Land Bank sys-
tem has movided cai iial for land de-
velopment. ft was beyond the reach of
the row land purchaser as loans were
hot made until after improvements
l.ad beeiw completed. So it became
necessary to find cap.tai that could
be used in the construction of Im-
provrthcnls
Would Amend Act.
"Ndmerous ways of finding this
money wire suggested but the fi-st
one that brought results was to get
a few landowners or locql banks to
finance the improvements up to the
time when Federal land Bank loans
would become available at which time
the landowners or local banks would
be reimbv.isetk out of the proceeds
of the amortized loan.
"The business methoils underlying
such operation* are similar to this?
used br lumber concerns contractors
trust companies and others in Jntild-
ing hous»s jn additions to large cities
and need rot frighten anyone because
of their newness. -
“Organizing a series of concerns
that would finance the construction of
land improvementa nould go far to-
wards solving the laige land develop-
ment problems of the country. An-
other way could be provided by an
amendment to the Federal Land Banx
Act. enlarging its scope so it would
• not merely could) *make building
loans advancing the money through
local banks in such percentages as cor
respond to the degree of completion of
the improvements. A ’fee would of
course have to be provided to 50 ver
n uking esrimatcs of progress.
“However if such arrangements
were made there would be one thing
more. The landowner would have to.
take a second lien to the amortized
loan. But this is not r new buSims-t
idea; owners of additions to large
cities for years have been taking o c-
ond liens to concerns financing the
ftnprovemrut of lots.
‘‘Summarized it may be seen that
under this plan land is selected to
meet the purchaser's coeds; provision
is made tor a temporary loan with
which to construct improvements an
amortized loan js arranged to fund the
temporary bfiifding loan and the luna-
cwner rect-ives from 20 to 25 per cent
of the raw land value with payments
extending over a slit table term of
J cars.
I-and Values Will Double.
"When the purchaser moves to his
new farm home his efforts are con-
tinuously given to cultivating the land
and putting it in bettet fanning cun
nition. The land is changed from an
interest-losing investment to an inter
est-carnlng one: a land development
mqyemcnt is started converting raw
land areas into thriving farm com;
munities thereby aud legitimately
doubling cr trebling land values aud
making rhe second lien notes into ex-
cellent •collateral. Safe farming i.i
immediately established on a basis
promising reasonable profits. The
cost of selling land has been rodu’Cd.
automatically cutting down fixed
charges. Irresponsible and sometimes
misleading representations nre elimir
nated. and confidence is established
among buying farmers. Railways
gradually cease to he surface lines
runuing through tunnels ofunprodne-
tion. Each mile of lands improved
transfers its quota of interost-beari'ig

“A bare allusion to the influence of
land development on the body politic
may not he amiss.
"The effect of railroads on civiliza-

“But millions of people in one

“The cut toms methods of living and
mental attitudes in great centers of

undeveloped areas. Fundamental n.is-

of crops are to be engineered and
by-crop feeders arc to be laid out; the
construction of improYcments is to be
financed and building loans funded.
“It is not suggested that railroads
do all or any of these things but that
they become commercial lenders for
them.
“As the local earning power of
railroads is low in territory where the
rnw land nrea is great nud increases
with the expansion of cultivated hinds
and as a Inrje proportion of farm
freight enters into interline traffic
it would seem that sufficient incen-
tive exists to warrant railroads to
undertake the commercial leadership
of land development."
