IOWA SOIL.

1t is human nature for any one to
desire to better his condition, how
ever we'll he may be located, and very
natural to believe that the other fell
low has just httle the best Of it.
Some Iowa farmers are preparing to
move where they can get cheaper land
and find golden opportunities for the
very picking. Some will stay and some
will return, and be glad to get home
again. We notice, however, that the
places of all who go are being rapidly
filled by men who have means and are
looking for the best Do not be fooled.
Above all, hang on to your Iowa soil
until you are positively convinced
that you can buy better quality of
soil somewhere else. There is no hum
bug In Iowa farm lands. 1t is worth
a hundred cents on the dollar for every
acre at present prices Land that has
made men rich by its steady increase
in price, to say nothing Of the profits
of its productions, ought to be good
enough for any one. Lands In this vi
cinity at the prices it can now be
bought ts one OF the safest investments
one can find. Get rich- quick schemes
are not always what they seem.
