Rich Prairie Nearly Gone

The rich, gently-rolling prairie,
out OF which northern Iowa and
southern Minnesota were formed,
has vanished. In its 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 $115 and swiftly rising. Yet
it is absolutely as good as they;
and it can be bought just now at
$42.50 with a 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.

One of Iowa's Finest

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 a
foot of waste land on it. 1t is in
a high state of cultivation and is
on a main Travelled road into the
city.
The house is brick and nearly
new. The main part is 1929 with
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 32x40 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.
