An old gentleman the other day
ID advising friend to buy land
said: God Almighty isn't max
ing any more land, but he is
thousands of babies every day who
want a home of their own some
day, the majority will want farms.
There you have it IN a nut shell.
There Is one crop of land but there
is a crop of babies every year; the
land they must have and the sup
ply is limited and why every acre
of Kansas land is advancing in val
ue & cheap land growing scarcer,
and as trees are planted and grow,
land is beng cultivated. the rain
belt moves permanently west, tol
rain does not exactly follow The
plow but 1t follows trees and greer
crops. There is the secret of it.
And with the continued good crol
west of us land cant help lncrea!
ing in value in this western par

CantaIoupes a Success.

Runnels County Ledger
1t is already evident that land
suitable for cantaloupe growing
is worth several per cent over its
former value by the experiments
of the present season in gro wing
the fruit.
The verdict of all experts ia
unanimous that the quality of
Ballinger cantaloupes IS as fine
as the world produces. But the
verdict that counts is that of the
consumers in Chicago where taken
the prices netted by the growers.
The second car was heard from
Wednesday morning and the net
result will prove eminently salts
factory to the growers as we'll as
our citizens generally. The car
brought $666,96, 1876 standard
crates brought 1921 and 40
pony's 81. 5B, which after expenses
are deducted will net the growers
about 1925 around.
When it is conceded by every
grower that $l.00 per crate, net,
beats a gold mine two to one, it
is needless to say that there will
be something doing in the canta-
loupe raising line after this year.
Here is II new industry of which
every gro wer was absolutely ignor-
ant of the first principles of pack
