Farm real estate prices, by contrast, af ter a dip in, 1953, have been moving up steadily since and are now at record levels on a national basis. The rise from the 1953 low point has been around 8 per cent for the United States as a whole, although substantially greater in a number of states, v Old Relationship Ignored The Department of Agriculture calls the duration of this diver gence "a unique departure from the usual . relationship between land Perquimans County FUND GENERAL COUNTY ? 31,530.00 Farm and Home Agents, Library, Conservation, Vet erans Administration, FSA. . . , 18,876.00 Health Department, Hospitalization, Blind. 12,358.00 POOR FUND - - - 2,302.00 7,502,00b ' 800.00 .01 DEBT SERVICE FUND.... - ---- 40,000.00 " none ' 40,000.00-- . 15 GENERAL SCHOOL FUND 70,565.00 " 40,965.00c 29,600.00 i?

Land Prices Go values and farm income," and it emphasizes that the real basis for land values in the future, as in the past, must be the level that can bo supported by long-term land earnings. For the time being, how ever, the usual rules prevailing in the land market seem to have been offset by a number of factors that have maintained the demand for farms despite the recent earnings trend. Chief among these are the pressures for farm enlargement be cause of developments within agri culture itself, and the strength of the inflationary forces in the econo my which have influenced farmers and non-farmers alike with respect to their investment attitudes. The biggest single factor in the demand for farms has resulted from the revolution in agricultural production over the last decade and a half with the growth of mechani zation and the introduction of new and more efficient farming tech niques. Bigger farms have become more economic as a result since they permit more efficient use of machinery and, acreage and hence i Proposed By Board Of County Commissioners ESTIMATED FROM .: $ 4 lag help to keep unit costs down. Consolidation Trend As a group, farmers have con sistently bpught about two-thirds of the farms that have come on the market in recent years, and a large proportion of these have been added to existing farms. It is re ported, for example, that up to half of all land purchases in wheat growing areas and at least a third in the Corn Belt were made for consolidation purposes. A few figures from the recent Census of Agriculture show the re sults of this trend. The number of farms in theUnited States de clined by 600,000" between 1950 and 1954 alone: The 4 million farms enumerated in the latter year were the fewest since the 1890's. At the same time,' the average size of all farms rose to 242 acres, the highest such figure since the middle of the.' last century. 1 he number of very large larms, those of l.uuu acres and more, have been showing the most pronounced growth trend. : The non-farm buyer, who as n group has acquired a thjrd of all farms that have changed hands in recent years, represents a cross section of American life, financially and occupationa'lly. He may be a "gentleman farmer," like many prominent in business, professional or pieftc life.

Retirement Plans a Factor 1 The non-farm group of farm buyers likewise includes a. great many persons of small or moderate moans workers, salaried persons, or the self-employed. Suburbani zation and decentralization of in dustry have created many new job opportunities in 1 or . near , rural areas. Buyers of this type usually acquire small- farms that fall into the part-time classification, and the figures show that farms of 10 acres or less 'have shown a substantial rise proportionately, over ; recent years while' the medium-sized ones have been declining sharply. Event ual retirement plans have become an increasing factor among such farm buyers, reflecting the spec tacular growth in pension and re tirement programs over the. last decade, and the widespread in crease in ownership of life insur ance and other savings. With electrification and good roads, the typical farm today dif-' fers little from the average city I dwelling as far as basic comforts and conveniences are concerned. urDan and industrial expansion and road building programs are al so playing a significant role in the farm land market in several parts of the country.
