The land Commissioner Of the st..
Paul road reports the sales of $4,000
acres Of farming lands in Southern
Minnesota and Northern Iowa sint Q
the beginning Of the year. The lands
are sold OH time and the company a.
grees to make rebate Of $3.50 per g.
ere for all land broken. While this
induces large sales it sometimes turns
out to the disadvantage of the corpor-
alton. For instance, man bought
forty acres, at So per acre, near al 60
ma, Iowa, paying fifty cents per acre
down. He then broke the entire for
ty acres and received the $3.50 rebate
