The Hackney Patterson Hoerr- Boyn-
ton Land company of st. Paul and
Mankato, which is one of the largest
operators in farm lands at the present
time in the west, expects to make its
sales reach 1000, 900 acres by harvest
time. In seventy-fve days this COM
pany has disposed of 500, 900 acres,
partly to syndicates and a large
amount in small tracts to actual set
tiers. Another syndicate from south
ern Minnesota has bought several
townships in North Dakota. These
lands will be resold in smaller tracts
to farmers. Mr.. Hackney says that
nearly all of the buyers are impressed
with the value of creameries to a
westernsstate and he believes the dairy
industry will be given an impetus by
the land syndicates as we'll as the
many new settlers who are going into
the Dakotas from Iowa, southern Min
nesota and Nebraska.
