Acoording to Mr. Deaver, land througlt central Iowa is being priced! at from $13 to $200 per acre, while over in tha Illinois corn belt It 18 held at from $200 to $300 per, acre. Land owners there take the posit tlon that If they can sell their lands there, or even hold them as Investments, they can come to Nebraska and buy. equally good iand. Just as close to market and at around $100 per acre.
