This is one of the most desirable
quarter-section farms now offered
for sale in the entire state of Iowa.
1t Lies just so rods from the cor
poration line of Charles City, which
is one of the most beautiful and
prosperous cities of 5000 people in
all the state.
1t lies very gently rolling. The
soil is Iowa's richest, blacklist loan
over clay subsoil. There is not
foot of waste land on it, 1t is in
high state of cultivation and is
on main Travelled road into the
city.
The house is brick and nearly
new. The main part is 18x25 with
a one-sstory addition 1t is built
with an air space in the walls and
is very warm and dry. There is a
good basement barn S2x4O with oak
frame and plenty OF other good
buildings The cattle shed is %
by 100 feet and has stone wall
Many farms, no more desirable
than this, have sold in Iowa at
5000 to $500 per acre. This one
must inevitably reach some such
figure within a short. time, though
it is offered now at $132.5O per
acre. A reasonable loan may be
made upon the place, and the own
er wants the balance in cash

Can You Judge a Farm?

If you are a good judge of land,
as most Iowans are, want you to
weigh this quarter section farm
carefully, and decide what, in your
own personal judgment it is actu-
ally worth.
1t is located in one of the best
counties of southern Minnesota, a.
bout twenty miles from the Iowa
line, and nearly north of Mason
City. 1t is two miles from one rail-
road station, three miles from an
other, and four miles from a third.
1t is surrounded by splendidly inn
proved farms, is forty rods from
school, and is on rural mail route
and telephone line.
1t Lies from level to gently rolling
with excellent drainage There is
NO waste land on it. Every foot
Is tillable. The soil is a fine, rich.
black loam, as fertile as Iowa's best.
Last years corn crop averaged fif-
ty bushels per acre, oats forty BUSH
els. and barley twenty bushels. All
crops were injured by the drouth,
but you may compare it with Iowa's
best years if you choose. 1t has
always been well stocked, and the
soil is in a high state of fertility.
The Improvements are worth at
least $4,000. There is good
house, a big barn 32x6O with lean
to on both sides, good granary, corn
cribs, hog house, poultry house, etc.
1t is fenced and cross-fenced. There
is good orchard with plenty of
small fruit.
Note the proximity of markets,
rich soil and big crops of small
grain as well as corn, the total abb
sence of waste land, and the excel
lent improvements. The fact is of
course that Iowa farms with not all
OF these advantages are selling
commonly nowadays at $3.50 to 5000
per acre.
WHAT is IT WORTH? Decide
for yourself.
