In 1890 L. G. Parrish bought q ranch Of
100 acres in the Mckee valley, miles
from this city, for $500, or t22 per acre.
The first year heScut 200 tons Of hay
which he sold @ tl2 per ton, or $24O0;
1900 bushels Of wheat q IS cts, 1915; 800
bushels Of potatoes q 40 cts, $l2O; garden
truck, $3.50. 1t will thus be seen that
the first year bis crop paid for the farm
and left him Q balance Of $345. Mr..
Parrish says that he has done fully as we'll
during 1891, which would make his re-
ceipts from the farm in two years 1890,
or Q balance to his credit Of $419O after
paying for the land. Estimating his ex-
penses, including help at 1920 per year,
he has in two years netted $3.50; or paid
$500 for 100 acres Of land and has &C.
cumulated in cash $3.50. Is there any
farming section Of country in the world
where . showing equal TO this can be
made. It Is . net annual return Of over
70 per cent. on the investment, and any
country that will do this IL good one to
tie to.
