This place is situated north of town
few miles and is located on
what is known as Mission Bottom,
one of the very districts which sur
round Salem.
The land is very productive and
will grow immense crops and is sus-
ceptible of variety of vegetable
growth that few sections can equal.
This place Is near the best peach
orchards of the Willamette valley
and some day will sell for a price
far in excess of what it can be

A Good Farm

If you have Investigated farm con-
ditions you know that the land on
the Salem and Howell prairies is as
rich as any in these sections and
have listed some fine farm proper
ties there.
We have one especially fine place
of 1913 acres with improvements
such as you seldom find on farm,
for the house is plumbed in a mod
ern manner, has bath, toilet, lava
tory, sink, hot and cold water, etc,
fine barns and other outbuildings.
The place Is fenced and cross
fenced there is a small amount OF
timber, just enough for wood for
the place, there is nice family or
chard, with berries, etc. The land
is most all under cultivation and is
all in crop. Located just four miles
from town on a good road, close to
school. This is fine place and can
be bought right. Price $125 per
acre. Reasonable terms can be ar
ranged.

is 20 acres on the Garden road, on

of as fine land as you can find in
these parts. On a good road, close
to school, extra fine black soil, all

diate delivery. Our price, $3.50 per
acre.
Those familiar with values in this
section know that $500 per acre is
none too much for good land of this
character.
Some land on the Garden road,
just a little closer in, sells for as
high as $4OO and $500 per acre.
This is really fine buy and we
