IOWA FARMERS FLOCK
TO THE NORTHWEST
AgricuIturists Buy Stock Ranches in
Minnesota and North Dakota.

Never before in my fifteen years ex-
perience as a real estate agent have I
seen so many people leave Iowa for
homes in new country as have this
year." said C. w Mitchell, of Sidney,
Iowa, at the Merchants last night "At
least 100 we'll do farmers from Ere
mont county alone have sold their Iowa
farms and settled in the Northwest
this year."
Mr.. Mitchell and party of a dozen
landSeekers arrived in the city yester-
day evening and will leave this morn
Ing for North Dakota, where the party
will look at the land in that vicinity
All of the members of the party were
from Fremont county, which is in the
extreme southwestern part of Iowa,
and is one of the richest agricultural
belts in the world, being in what is
known as the blue grass region"
The land in that section of the state
sells for from $50 to 500 per acre, but
many Of the people who have fine
farms there are disposing of them and
buying up stock ranches in the North
west.
only few days ago." said Mr..
Mitchell, "a party from our county
went up into North Dakota and
bought up about $4,000 acres of land,
ana many farmers down there have
made large individual purchases. The
people in that section OF the country
have great faith in Minnesota and
North Dakota, and they find, by in
vestigating, that there is more money
to be made in stock raising than in the
ordinary modes of farming. They sell
for 500 per acre and buy new land for
from S. to So, and the cheaper land,
when stocked, yields as much profit as
the more expensive land"
Mr. Mitchell has personally conduct
ed a number of land-seeking parties,
and, in every instance, almost every
member of the party has invested i'll
either Minnesota or Dakota lands.
"a few years ago." said Mr.. Mitchell,
"our people went West when they sold
out, but last year they commenced to
take advantage of the opportunities in
the Northwest, and this year more
than 80 per cent of them come up
North
Mr.. Mitchell said the past summer
had been good crop year in South
western Iowa, and that the farmers
there, as a rule, were prosperous and
in position to go into the stock rails
ing business upon a substantial basis.
