The South Plains of
Texas

II you have never set foot on the
South Plains of Texas, you have no
conception Of its wonders, it's riches,
Its golden opportunities. For many
years the millionaire cattle kings held
sway over this great empire of the
Southwest. They fought against the
Entertainments of the settler with
every resource at Their command. In
their anxiety to prevent the peaceful
Invasion of the farmer, they even
went so far as to circulate reports re-
fecting on the fair name of the Plains
country-seeking to spread abroad the
idea that the land was only fit for
grazing purposes.
But right on their own ranches
these same cattle kings were raising
from four to six crops of alfalfa year
from which they realized $50 to $50
per acre. Their orchards were loaded
down with fruit. Their grain fields
were producing tremendous yields. As
these facts became better known, the
tide Of immigration set in toward the
Southwest with irresistible strength.
The cattle kings have yielded to the
inevitable. One by one the great
ranches have been opened to the set

Running Wafer Ranch
BEING Rapidly Disposed of

The rapidity with which this rich
farming land is going is the best evil
dence that it is all and more than is
claimed for it. Already half of Run
ming Water Ranch has been purchas-
ed by men who responded to the invi-
tation Of Mr. Soash, "Come and see for
YOURSELF" When an Iowa or Illinois or
Minnesota farmer sets eyes on this
property, he knows that it is really
worth ten times its present price.
There are portions of this ranch, al
ready under cultivation, that the own
ers would not sell for 500 an acre.
You can buy the same kind of land,
capable of producing the same yields,
at 1850 to 500 per acre.
1t Is because you will find the facts
exactly as we state, that we offer to
take you to see for yourself and then
decide whether to buy or not to buy.
Every Acre Sub-Irrigated
Abundance of pure, sweet water Is
assured not only by the innumerable
rivulets, springfield streams and ponds
which gave to this land the name
Running Water Ranch, but by the
sub-irrigation which insures water in
unlimited quantities at a depth Of
from 10 to 60 feet. The country is
underlaid with sheet-water. With an
altitude of $500 feet and an abundant
rainfall from March to November, fol-
lowed by dry winter, the climatic
conditions are perfect both for health
and the growth of crops.
Cheap land will soon be a thing of
the past. Back to the land!" is the
cry today and there is not enough land
to 60 around. Land values in the Mis-
sissippi Valley have advanced tremen-
dously. What chance has the young

known through the state and far be-
