Land at forty dollars an acre is
worth fifty-five cents a square rod and
it isn't much if it will not yield far
more than that each year if properly
titled. Talk abcrt high prices? Why
our land is actually dirt cheap, and
every man ought to own some. The
mischief is that too many men want
TO own much more land than they can
properly cultivate. There are a great
many ~fOrty-acre farmers trying to
farm three hundred acres. We be
lieve it would be better all around
il farms were limited in size to a
quarter section and if one such farm
was all a man could own, then We
could have more farms where each
acre was doing its level best and the
aggregate yield would be vastly great
er than it is now.-Ex.
