AN ADVERTISING TRICK FOR

Men with Land for Sale and

farmers from their money has been
worked with much success in South
Dakota. An oily CRATER calls on a
farmer and makes bid for his land
The figures are absurdly low at first,
but by degrees are raised as high as
$50 an acre, and the farmer consents.
Then the visitor explains that he is
only an agent. but that he can sell the
land at the price named If the owner
will agree to pay for advertising at
the rate of fifty cents an acre. The
agent promises orally that the ad-
vertising money will not be payable
until the land is sold, but this stipula-
ton is not contained in contract
that the farmer signs.
In few days he receives a copy of
an ad and not over-courteous demand
for money. It is said that twenty
two agriculturists were caught with
this bait in Brown County and that
one Of them gave up $500. Others de.
clare holly that they will not pay but
they will make a fight in the courts.

From Washburn to Painted Woods on
Missouri.
A large and enthusiastic meeting of
farmers. and residents Of Washburn
was held to consider the proposition
Of forming a water users association
for the purpose of obtaining funds
from the reclamation service for the
irrigation of about 10000 acres of
land along the Missouri river from
Washburn to Painted Woods.
w. H. Storrs. electrical engineer in
Trenton projects, and State Engineer
T. R. Atkinson addressed the meeting
as the principal speakers, and an
swered the many questions asked.
They showed the people the Dement'S
to be derived from irrigation and the
best methods to pursue in order to
obtain funds from the reclamation
service to hasten the construction of
an irrigation plant.
State Engineer Atkinson has been
making preliminary surveys and plans
for the work during the past month,
and is pleased to note that the irriga-
tion of tie tract is practically as.
sured
. The development of the project will
mean great deal not only to the
farmers who will receive the water
on their land, but also to the two
counties and the state. 1t means that
abundant crops of all kinds will be
raised each year, and that alfalfa will
be grown to fatten our cattle at home
A committee was appointed to or
ganize a water users association for
the purpose Of promoting the enter.
prise. and the people of this section
believe that ultimately we will have q
more extensive enterprise than that
at Buford or Williston.
