Illinois ranks second in the value of plow land, according to the report, the price per acre being $167. In Alabama and Mississippi, the average price of plow land per acre is $26. The Western States show the least decline in prices of land, and in the case of California, Oregon, and Colorado there is a slight increase over last year. Plow land in California was valued at $130 per acre last year while this year the average is $135. The report shows that there was a rapid increase in the price of land from 1917 to 1920, when the highest price was reached. The decline during the past year is not as great as the increase from 1919 to 1920. Land prices are still higher than any year preceding 1920.

Says Mormons Are Our Friends.
C. J. Hugo, representative from this county in the last two sessions of the legislature, says a mistaken impression as to the attitude of the Mormon members of the legislature, toward the University of Idaho, seems to have gained some credence in the north. Mr. Hugo said the reverse is true. These men are very friendly toward north Idaho and the university. While some members of that church voted for bills we opposed, they did so as individuals and not from sectional or religious motives. Northern Idaho and the University, has staunch and influential friends among the Mormons who are members of both houses of the legislature, and we have no fault with their general attitude in their dealings with questions concerning this part of the state.
