Immense Increase Of Wealth.

particularly. has increased m~arvelously
the wealth Of the owners Of such lands.
During the past four years there have
r'en a great advance in the value OF
good farm lands In Iowa, Kansas, Ne
braskn and Dakotas OF not less than
SEQ per acre, which means that the
farmers Of Iowa alone are over $780,
900 richer than they were four
wears ago, and this increase in wealth
has not gone into the hands OF spec
u~lators. but each man has got his
share j..st in proportion as he is the
