In conversation he stated that
since he had left Ceder county
never before in his life had he seen
a country that was it's superior
until he struck Camas Prairie.
''The soil here is of the same char
acter as that 1925 an acre land in
Iowa and the yields are beyond
anything seen or heard of in Iowa.
Wheat going as high as Go bushels
to the acre and on an average of
30 bushels. A mild climate and
to call it winter would remind an
Iowa man of the Indian summers.
Farming here is much easier than
in Iowa and the money to be made
is surprising, even to man from
Iowa. Fruit grows in abundance
and some day this is going to make
lot of money and furnish an occu-
patton for many. The people of
this place l find to be very sociable
and always welcoming a stranger
and doing their utmost to make
ones stay pleasant one. Marx
my word, in the future, the
very near future, this land will be
gobbled up at s75 and 500 an
acre. The present low prices will
not last year. Ten dollars an
acre will be no advance as compar-
ed to what it's bound to sell for
when people begin coming in.
