living will be lowered by intensive

Success Under Difficulties By M.di.o. c Peter.
A New BOOm-The Farm Land Boom

~ URING the last decade our popu-
lation increased 20 per cent, our
farm land per cent. The acre
age devoted to the production OF ce-
reals increased about 7 per cent, while
the production Of cereals Increases only
a little over one per cent Twenty-Five
per cent of our population lives IN
cities with a 100000 population or more.
One hundred and ten years ago per
cent of our people lived in the cities or
towns, today upward of so per cent.
Thirty years ago the towns and cities
had only 80 per cent Of the population
In 1911 our Agricultural products were
less than $4,000. OOo, 600 while our man
ufactured products were worth more
than 5000 600, 600. and our internal
commerce S26e00, 10000

$4,000 coo acres included within farms
-47s, 100000 acres of improved farm
land. les than half our total land area
is improved, while three-fourths Of our
land area is uninhabited and unpro-
ductive.
But a new boom is on, the farm land
boom. the riches of the soil is the dis
covery OF the day. and the new opening
public is the intelligent use of a little
land. 1t does not require any more
brains than any other opportunities and
it is open to a far larger number. We
are beginning to realize that there is
more money to be made out of the soil.
If you got at il intellisently, than there
is in any other line that is open to
everyone.
The Life worth Living.
The same attention you now pay to
your present job. devoted to the care
Of an orchard. a fruit farm, vegetable
or flower garden. will bring far greater
profits. The average clerk today has
no chance to keep abreast with his ex-
penses- The life worth living comes
from working the soil Any man with
ordinary brains, plus Drawn can raise
500 bushels OF onions TO the acre, and
five acres would bring larger returns
