Iowa Farm Bargain near Market

This farm. which consists of 154
acres is in Palo Alto County, and
lies just one half mile from small
railroad town with bank, three ele-
vators, school, creamery, lumber
yard, etc.
1t is in the northern part of the
state, in a section which grows ex-
cellent crops, is unusually prosper
GUS, and in which the price of land
is advancing very rapidly. Accord
ing to the government census re-
port, the average value per acre of
improved farms throughout Palo
Alto County more than doubled be-
tween 1900 and 1910, and at the
present time the value of the better
class of improved farms close to
town, to which this farm belongs,
is from 500 up, some of them be-
ing held considerably higher than
this.
This farm is in a splendid neigh
borhood of mixed nationalities. 1t
is rich black loan, containing a
small amount of sand, which makes
it a warm, quick-growing soil, and
very productive.
1t is beautiful farm, smooth,
and nearly level, but with just slope
enough for tile drainage, and near
ly all of it has been tiled. More
than 125 acres are drained perfect
ly in this way. The remainder,
which does not really need it. is
now in tame hay, SO that it is all
tillable, and all in cultivation.
The buildings are in good average
condition. They include residence
1924, one and half stories high
with one story addition 1924;
a barn 4Ox40 with 16-foot posts;
corn crib and granary 30x30; a
a poultry house 12x14, etc. There
is a good we'll with windmill. 1t is
all fenced and cross-fenced, and
there is grove and some fruit.
1t is place of many advantages.
1t is close to market, to school, and
to a creamery. 1t has fertile, black,
quick soil. 1t has a perfect lay
and is we'll tiled. 1t has good build
ings in as good condition as those
on the average farm. 1t is a desira-
BILE farm in every respect, and it is
offered at much less than its real
value.
The price is $3.50 per acre. 1t
will carry mortgage loan of $55
or more per acre, or about $4,000.
The balance of $4,S75 is asked in
cash.

Iowa Beauty on Bargain Counter

Iowa Beauty on Bargain Counter
A magnificent half-section farm,
highly improved and exceedingly
productive, is offered for sale just
now at a sacrifice price, and on un-
usually easy terms.
1t is located in one OF the best
sections of the state, about twenty
miles. south of Mason City. 1t is
three miles from good town, and
one half mile from school.
The soil is the finest black loan
with clay subsoil. 1t is as fertile as
that of ANY section of Iowa. The
farm has always been heavily stock
ed, and the soil is in highly pro-
ductive state.
The land is gently rolling, with
all low spots tiled out. 1t is all
tillable except about ten acres
where The buildings stand. The
entire 80 acres are as fine land
as anyone ever put plow into.
The buildings are practically new
all having been built within four
years. There is fine S-room
house; barn 48x64, which cannot
be beat; large double crib and
granary; an auto shed; a cattle
shed 4Ox10O feet. poultry house
and other buildings. There is
windmill with water piped to the
yards. A quarter section of it is
fenced and cross-fenced hog tight.
This farm is absolutely in a class
with those, which in other parts of
Iowa have been selling at $3.50 to
5000 or more per acre. But it is
offered at 500 per acre. A cash
payment of one fourth down is re-
quired.

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 third.
1t is surrounded by splendidly i'm
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 loan, as fertile as Iowa's best
Last years corn crop averaged fif-
ty bushels per acre, oats forty BUSH
els. and barley twenty bushels. ALI
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 high state of fertility.
The improvements are worth at
least $4,000. There is good
house, 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 a good orchard with plenty of
small fruit
Note the proximity of markets,
rich soil and big crops of small
grain as we'll 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.
l can sell it at SIS per acre on
the following terms: $500 down,
$4,000 next March, and balance
carried on farm at five per cent.

A Rare Piece of Virgin Prairie

This tract consists of $50 acres
in Lincoln County, Minnesota. 1t
is one of the best pieces of virgin
prairie land left in southern Mimi
esota. The surface is slightly roll
ing and the soil a fine, black loan.
A living stream cuts off about 20
acres from one corner. One crop
of flax would pretty nearly pay for
this piece of land. Price $42.50 per
acre. A cash payment of $1,000 is
required, balance to be agreed upon
at 6 per cent.
