These tracts cost the homestead value
of the land-about $1.50 per acre plus
the actual cost of the water right.
which varies In different enterprises
from $50 to $50 per acre. The great
advantages In buying such government
tracts are. first. that when a fellow
buys water right he gets so much
water. not blue sky or hot air. and. see
ondly. he is given ten years In which
TO make payment, and that without
interest on deferred payments. Tracts
in the Huntley project In Idaho have

enough to cover the entire purchase

While 1t is somehow contrary to the
idea that most of us are used to-that
cows should be in pasture during the

not the case where the quarters In

good many who have built houses
the past summer will want to get
catch OF grass this fall on their grounds.
While good step may be made in this
direction II conditions are favorable
by giving the area a top dressing OF

surer way is to supplement this seed

The answer OF the average agricul-

just about as evasive and elastic as
the answer to that other famous poser,

the papers are correct in at least one
point. and that is that the individual

likes best. as after all success depends
