Minneapolis, Mimi.

While in Minneapolis the first of
the week, the editor called at the
offices of the Chester Realty Co. and
investigated their plan of locating
Afro-Americans on farm lands. It
was found that this company has Sc
cured tract of land which is. To-
Gated in Pine county, this state.
They have cut up this land in 40 to
16O acre lots and will sell to Afro
Americans on easy payments. This
| opportunity will appeal to all who
have no certain means of insuring
themselves against want in their old
age, or who are not entirely satis-
fed with their present lot in life, as
| we'll as the investor. By securing a
few acres of these fertile lands while
they are yet within their reach, they
| are paving the way for independ-
! ence.
[ The history of agriculture shows
that as a country develops and ages,
the tendency is toward a smaller
| acreage and more cultivation in the
individual farm. This is more spe-
cially true of lands within close

shipping facilities make it possible
for the fruit, market garden and

places in the South, are becoming
greater every day; and it is with
some difficulty that Mr. Hartley car
get the lettuce picked fast enough
for shipment Mr.. Hartley states
that this year the crop will reach
about $500 bushels of head lettuce
and claims If he had more he coult
Ieasily dispose Of It. It is claimed
that crop of this kind should ne
