many northern farmers are inquiring Tor H.
gini,t lands with the intention of purchasing ;
attracted hither partly by their cheapneSS,
partly because OF the mildness of the climate
and induced no doubt In no small measure by
the high price To which land has risen in the
densely settled States of the North. In many
places they can sell at from $500 to $500 per
acre and everybody knows that the profits
of agriculture are not sufficient TO Justify SO
expensive IN outlay. Quite recently II member
