This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ... The cash actually paid out by the landlord in taxes, insurance, repairs of buildings and fences, and grass seed, amounts to practically 1 per cent of the value of the farm, leaving the landlord a cash balance of about 3 per cent. Out of this 3 per cent, an additional V-y per cent should be deducted for depreciation of farm buildings.

A 2x/a per cent on the market value of an average farm in Wisconsin in 1915 is equal to a 3.8 per cent return on the amount paid for the same farm in 1905, and probably 214 per cent on the 1920 valuation would equal from 4 to 5 per cent on the values of 1910.
