Tho following statement has been
issued by w. c. Reynolds. prominent
dairyman:
Rsyneid's Statement.
have gained some notoriety by BE-
Ing elected chairman Of the milk deal
ers' meeting ON the night OF February
third. In justice to myself and my a.
sociates, will briefly review the pro
ducers' problems.
We are held by the ruling Of the
state board Of health the enforcement
of which the legislature has made tho
same ~ the statute. Certain kinds Of
buildings are prescribed. the erection
Of which costs from $500 up.
In my own case. Of covered space
OF 1892 square feet. the cattle occupy
2slO feet of the floor space. This
building was not erected gratis. A GER
udder must be cleaned and tho COW
brushed. A certain method Of cooling
and . maximum temperature 10 given.
The milk room must have . certain
construction. The milk must have Q
required percent of butter fat and Of
solids.
10 No chIld's Play.
I might enumerate more. but this
will surely suffice to show that spe.
cial equipment 10 necessary to begin
business. and the fulfillment Of which
10 no child's play.
The one problem which caused this
agitation 10 the feed problem. The
wholesale price Of milk, 16c per gallon.
WAS fixed several years ago. Clover
hay could then be bought At from IS
to 80 per ton and bran 1t 81 to SIS
per ton.
4 COW requires Q certain amount Of
feed to maintain her body. II she
gets no more than this she does It at
the expense Of her body and grows
thin. After the feed required to main
have shown. the additional feed should
equal one third Of the weight OF her
milk. The most Of thoughtful farm.
ers feed accordingly.
Amount Q Cow Gives.
The amount Of milk given by the
average COW 10 about gallons. TO
maintain her body and give milk in
xero weather the COW will consume
daily:
Is pounds Of clover hay ct SIS per
ton. 22.6 cents: 4 pounds Of corn at
Toe per bushsl. 8. cents; 6 pounds Of
bran and cotton seed meal. 81 cents:
Daily cost Of feed, $50 cents. Cost
per gallon 1916 cents.
Now II our buildings be considered.
and al our labor. our loss 10 2.ss cents
pcr gallon.
Now allow the producer the .06 of .
cent for delivering this milk to the
dealer while your city residents are
yet sleeping and We have the loss Of
3 cents per gallon. How long can
We continue In business?
Now. a. . matter Of fact, the retail
er can not sell this milk at the old
price. The basis that has been follow.
ed was 60 percent for the producer
and 20 per cent for the retailer.
There may BE- several problems Of
the retailer about which I know moth.
ing. But the one question which pre-
sents itaelf-have the retailers been
making money out OF their business? I
can only generalise. Many OF them
have been In business for years. II

Rich Prairie Nearly Gone

The rich. gently-rolling prairie,
out of which northern Iowa and
southern Minnesota were formed,
has vanished. In it's place today are
tens of thousands of the most fer
tile, beautiful, and highly improved
farms of the great Midwest.
One of the very few excellent
pieces of it still left unimproved, is
an eighty acre tract near lie Sueur
in the best part of southern Mimi
esota. 1t is the richest, blacklist,
loan. and every foot of it is pillow
land, sixty acres now being under
cultivation. Only few miles away,
improved farms are now selling at
$50 to s115 and swiftly rising. Yet
it is absolutely as good as they;
and it can be bought just now at
$42.50 with cash payment of
$4,000, and three years time on the
balance.
It is certain that this eighty will
double in value within few years.
1t is an IDEAL small Investment,
where idle money will grow steadily
and surely.

Can You Judge q 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.
It 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 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 Iowas
best years if you choose. It has
always been we'll 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.
It 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 well as corn, the total alb
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 1T WORTH? Decide
for yourself
/ can sell it at SIS per acre on
the following terms: s1,SO0 down,
$4,000 next March, and balance

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 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 a rich black loan, containing a
small amount of sand, which makes
it warm, quick-growing soil, and
very productive.
1t is a 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 1875 acres are drained perfect
~ 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 a one story addition 1924;
a barn 40x4O with 16-foot posts;
corn crib and granary 50x30; a
poultry house 12x14, etc. There
is a good we'll with windmill. 1t is
all fenced and cross-fenced, and
there is a grove and some fruit.
1t is a place Of many advantages.
1t is close to market, to school, and
to creamery. 1t has fertile, black,
quick soil. 1t has perfect lay
and is well tiled. It 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 $500.
The balance of s4,S75 is asked in
cash.

An Iowa Farm Not in Iowa

There is a beautiful farm, located,
not in Iowa but near it, that is in a
class with Iowa's finest and best,
and that merits just now the atten-
ton of every homeseeker in the
land.
1t is four and half miles from
st. Peter, busy southern Minneso-
ia city Of 5000 people, and coun-
ty seat of Nicollet County.
Nicollet County actually surpass-
es many of our very best counties
in all round grain production. Corn,
for example, in Story County, Iowa,
which is one of our banner counties,
made an average yield of 1876 bush
els per acre in 1909, which was lo-
was banner year; but in the same
year, Nicollet County, Minnesota,
yielded an average of 1919 bushels
per acre.
From st. Peter to this farm the
road is graveled all the way. 1t is
on a rural mail route, has tele-
phone, and the distance tn school is
one half mile. 1t is in rich COM
munity, and surrounded by highly
improved farms.
1t consists of 230 acres Of deep,
rich. black loan, over clay subsoil.
It has beautiful lay, being almost
smooth, but having excellent natural
drainage.
All buildings are in good repair.
There is good eight-room house,
big barn 40x6O. plenty Of out
buildings. windmill, cement tanks,
etc.
1t is in a neighborhood where
land is selling for 500 to $115 per
acre, and rising very fast, owing
to its splendid quality. But this
farm can be bought for s77.5Q per
acre. and the cash required is only
about $4,000. balance in yearly
payments il desired.

several cars of cattle are fed on it

It is a highly productive farm. and
the location is ideal. 1t is worth,

any reasonable cash payment to in
