Buying LaNDs
Many Acres in Union County to Be
Utilized for Pasture BY a Kan
sas Corporation.


The Kansas Land and Cattle Com
pany. organized by John Tod of Maple
Hill, Kansas, and Frank Law, of Fol
som, are buying immense quantities of
pasture land in New Mexico. This
company has holdings of some $4,000
acres in the Panhandle country near
BOvina on syndicate lands, and it has
in the last year placed land scrip that
cost them an average of So an acre up
on no less than 100000 acres of govern.
ment land in one solid body near Fol
som in Union County. Wherever their
scrip surrounded patented lands owned
by other persons, it has bought the
holders out at very liberal figures.
Thus the company owns it's land abso.
lutely and is enclosing it with first
class five wire fence.
So far it has no cattle upon it. but
will doubtlessly take advantage of the
extremely low price of cattle and stock
it, These lands comprise what is the
cream of western cattle lands. There
is water in abundance and shelter is
good and the range is not mountain
gus enough so that any of it is too
rough for grazing. 1t is extremely
well grassed and there is plenty of
browsing. What the result will be in
Union County is a question for it will
keep out small settlers who would 9TH
