There is nation wide movement
of back to the land" There is great
unrest throughout the entire country
because of the high cost of living.
Farm products have scared skyward
and land values rise and keep even
pace with the rise or, fall of farm
productions. This is Inevitable
In the last twenty years the cities
have grown enormously at the ex-
pense of the country. immigration
is pouring into the United States at
the rate of million year, They
flock . the cities mostly and become
consumers. The population of Amer
lea is growing with leaps and bounds,
and the puzzling problem which con-
fronts us all Is the food supply. There
10 = scarcity Of producers. But the
tide is beginning to turn, and the rush
is now on Tor the cheap. and fertile
lands of the Great Southwest.
| 'tJim" Hill, the shrewd far-seeing
railroad magnate, in a recent speech
on this subject, truly said that TN
/ less than ten years time the chance
to acquire good, cheap land in this
country will be forever gone"
Lands in the older settled states
have doubled and even trebled in
value in the last twelve years. Many
are selling out their hlgh-priced
farms and reinvesting in the yet cheap
and fertile lands OF the Texas Pan
handle. For the shrewd ones see
that the same process win be repeated
there in even less time than in the
older settled states. For it is an
axiom that history repeats itself"
We offer the choicest lands in the
best counties in this splendid country
at from $500 to $4,000 per acre. ac-
cording to location, with good terms,
long time. low interest and perfect
title.
