under the wheels. Co. Physician Reilly

saving the county extra expense which
would naturally be incurred if he was
treated here.
Last year NJ. l.. Sullivan purchased the
Donnely farm, few miles east OF town
for STATS and from his crop acreage gets
upwards OF 3 1000 bushels OF wheat, net.
ting him better than $2,700. The pro
ceeds being enough to buy the land after
paying all the expenses OF putting in anc
taking off the crop, besides leaving
snug little surplus. Instances OF thi.
kind are OF yearly occurrence in Cavalier
county and where farmer runs into
debt to buy land the chances are ten to
one that one or two crops with proper
management will enable him to pay fol
it. You can't buy that farm OF Mike fol
twice the price he paid for it b year ago
