Of concrete examples of successful

have had opportunity to study condi-
tons closer. At the prices now going
for good farm lands in these North
ern Counties, and at prices even
higher than now asked, there is ab-
solutely no danger of overstating our
case or misrepresenting facts, such
as complained of in many other new
sections in this country and Canada
