FORD COUNTY PROFITS
Illinois Mao has Made S125,000 In
Wheat Farms Here.

Eugene Taylor, OF Nokomis, Ill.
who has become identified with Ford
county interests through his wheat
farming operations here, fully be-
lieves that this county is the best
place on earth to make money in
land and agriculture.
Any one who is figuring on invest
ing in lands would do we'll to write to
Mr. Taylor for the facts concerning
his investments and experiences in
z Ford county. The past few years
have been big ones for Mr.. Taylor,
and in fact his whole experience in
this county has been big one. His
Investments in land here amount to
something like $4,000 and ho has
spent some money at different times
in improvements. His operations in
Ford county have cleared him about
$l25,000. II there had been nothing
made in the raise OF land, he would
still have q handsome profits from
rents. On his land this year and
last $4,000 bushels Of wheat were
raised so that nice income is COM
ing from crops.
The above, showing what he has
realized from his Investments in
Ford county, i'll appear a small
part Of it o few years later, as he
has only just began wheat raising
tere, .and expects to make a better
showing is-inturs. Perhaps in the
future II he can dispose OF his land
in Illinois at o fair figure, Mr.. Tay-
lor will spend all Of his time in Kan
sas. BE says that after q person
breathes this air and drinks the Kan
sas water awhile it is hard to stay
away. At present he spends only
three or four months Of the year
here.
Mr.. Taylor has made fair test Of
ord county and 10 80 delighted with
tst hs takes great pleasure in !
.king about the agricultural oppor-
pnities, and he could give some very
