BECKER COUNTY

This description and this range OF
values will apply to such farms in
southern Becker as lie in the slightly
billy country that prevails Immediately
south and southwest of Detroit. The
two townships west of Detroit are of
quite another character, the country
being largely open prairie and well i'm
proved. In these townships are some
of the weaithiest farmers in the state,
not few farmers holding in their own
right single farm properties worth
$4,000 to $4,000. The bank of Lake
Park is owned by these well to do
farmers.
The soil varies from sandy to clay
loam, with little If any area that is not
profitable farm property. In this re-
gion improved farms are worth from
$25 to $50 per acre, the latter figure
being placed on very choice improved
farm property.
