ALL Land LEASED
Under new Plan
GAS COUNTY SCHOOL LANDS
WILL BE LEASED ON SEPT. %
ON THE PLAN WHICH WAS IN~
AUeuRATED THIS SPRING At
THE COURTHOUSE.

The annual leasing of the Cass coun>
ty school lands will be held at this
courthouse on Sept. %.
A representative OF the state board
will be here at the time to have charge
of the leasing and the same plan
which was inaugurated at the partial
leasing that was held at the court
house last spring will be followed this
fall.
The new method of leasing the lands
is to put them out for a period of
five years with the condition that the
whole description must be summer
fallowed some time during that per-
iod. This is to get rid of the weeds
and to increase the value OF the land
which was deteriorating under the old
one-year lease ssytem.
