A Yes sir, quite likely there were some, -- to my know-ledge there were some, people who had moved away to different parts of the country, and they were not being operated and farmed at the time; I don't know whether you would call that abandoned or not. They still owned them, and probably figured on coming back. Over in the Monticello country, do you have land over there which is neither irrigated nor dry farmed, but which is used by the owners for grazing? A Yes sir. Q And what is the assessed valuation of that land, or was it in 1920, when you left? A Sell, the average would probably be two dollars an acre. Q And there is a vast quantity of that? A I think the average would go a little better than that; the mountain range, patented ground would bring the average up, I think, to two dollars and fifty cents. Q Two dollar and fifty cents an acre? A Yes. MR . BLACKMAR: That is all. |
