The problem of how to get rich by
farming has been successfully worked
out by Francis Sestier of Des Moines.
Ia.
The young man has made $4,000
worth of Improvements on a thirty-two
acre farm in the last seven years and
paid for it from the products of the
soil.
Sestier's father, a stonecutter, went
to Des Moines in 1875 to work on the
construction of the state capitol build
ing. He purchased the thirty-two
acres within sight of the golden dome
OF the statehouse he had helped to con
struct
The elder Sestier worked along to
make living and pay for his acres.
Seven years ago he died, and the Young
man took charge.
Today Francis Sestier has what is
claimed to be the best improved truck
farm west of the Mississippi
Among the permanent improvements
made since 1891 are an $4,000 resi-
dence with q modern cold storage plant
in the basement and steam pump
Ing plant that draws water from the
Des Moines river, half a mile away.
and lifts it 145 feet into an immense
reservoir. He has also built eight
greenhouses.
The water may be used for irriga-
ton If needed
The statement that Mr.. Sestier has
made his farm yield a gross income of
$500 to $500 per acre reads like the
advertisement Of a land agent in ex-
plotting the regions that are alleged
to flow with milk and honey. but It is
true
1t goes without saying that he is an
unusual manager
One of his favorite crops is toma-
toes. He introduced the method of
raising tomatoes on poles. He plants
about 5000 vines to the acre and gets
yield of $50 bushels Of fine fruit that
commands the highest market price.
In one year Mr.. Sestier has made as
much as $500 on lettuce alone.
This young man has never attended
an agricultural college or taken
course in farming, but he reads agri-
cultural papers closely.
Of course he has had the ADVANTAGE
OF near market for his produce. and
during all the seven years he has paid
out only 80 cents per acre for fertiIi-
zers-i e., SIC in seven years. The soil
Is almost as rich now as when it was
virgin.
1t pays to farln-if you know how.
The Kentucky farm on which Lin
coin was born is known as .'the farm
that raised man." That is distinc-
ton enough. 1t never raised much in
the way of crops.
