to Chas,. C. Warne. also of Atlantic.
1t is a GOOD farm and Mr.. Warne is
fortunate in getting a quarter so handy
to the county seat. J. A. Read. from
the same locality was with the party.
He has a quarter section three miles
south of Dickinson. which is in flax
this year, a portion of which was sown
too late and was injured by the frost, but
even at this Mr.. Read will realize
enough to pay expenses and he has his
land broken for the 1912 crop which is
worth quite a number of dollars per acre.
1t was so wet that the Iowa people
were unable to get around very good.
but on the whole they seemed pleased
with conditions. The, prevailing prices
of land out here are Generally appre-
ciated by the sturdy class of Iowa farm
ers. who realize that they cannot buy
good agricultural lands at present fig
ures for a very long time.
