We don't believe in inducing
people to emigrate to other states
because we believe it's hard to beat
old Iowa, but if one is inclined to
horticultural pursuits, from the
standpoint taken by ye local who

a ten acre tract of land near the
Fruitvale school house which he
has improved to some extent to
make it habitable for his family.
Today he could no doubt, did he

acres in fruit, which also includes
the ground on which the house,
barn and other buildings are situ-

in alfalfa, which he will break up
next year and set out to fruit. Dur

two days on account of poor health
and has a neat little sum in the
bank as result of his labors, and
the handsome returns from his ten
acre tract. In Iowa, Mr.. Heliyer
has two hundred and forty acres of
choice land which he rents for cash

ten acre tract of land than he has
made out of all of his Iowa hold.

has not only been profitable one
from financial standpoint, but he
