Price of Farm Products.
THE high price of all farm products is
back OF the enormous immigration move
ments to the northwest in search Of cheap
lands" said George 3. Haynes, immigra-
ton. agent Of the Milwaukee, who was in
Omaha Thursday. Mr.. Haynes is an
Omaha product who is doing yeoman
service for the Milwaukee in building up
the country adjacent to the company's new
line to the Pacific coast.
4 o top of the present high price comes
the announcement of Patten that the high
prices will continue for a year at least.
He is right when ne says that the increase
in crop acreage has not held pace with the
increase in population and that there is a
real demand for farm products. The farm
ers Of the more populated districts realize
that now is the time to secure cheap
farms for the coming generation and the
movement this spring is unprecedented.
Dakota is how settled with a farm on
nearly every quarter section for twenty
miles on each side of our line and settlers
are pouring into Montana on every train.
The high price OF farm products is making
cheap lands quite attractive, for under the
present prices a farm may soon be made to
pay for itself and no one realizes this bet
ter than the farmers who are flockinR "a
the northwest, a village TO a train at times.
1t is a sort of an equalization proposition
for the young men here have a chance
to branch out and make a stake for them
selves. The cost of living in the towns Is
increasing and 1t is some times hard "a
get ahead even enough to own a home
but here are chances offered to own a
farm and home In a few years"
