Colter’s Iowa land boom profits and townland forecasts
Colter arrived in Clay County and built up ranch and estate holdings then sold farms in Sioux County for $946,164 total, netting $136,164 over two years. He warned that Iowa land values will rise steadily though not boomlike and urged farming own- ers to strive for ownership. The report also notes migratory bird enforcement in Iowa, game laws, a church split over organ use, vigilante bank policing plans under Gov. Harding, and Sand Spring’s decline as a Milwaukee railroad station.
