John Holien, @sr.,ndid inyWalle town
ship, Grand Forks county: He: paid
$40 an acre for a 24o.acre farm, and
considers it very good investment.
Mr.. Holien has been a resident of
North Dakota for over 80 years and
declares that there is no place in the
world where paying crops can be rails
ed with so little outlay as in this
state. Only a year ago the farm in
question was purchased by O'Connor
Bros, of this city for s55 an acre. In
the last ten years it's value has doubl-
ed and in ten years more it will be
worth approximately $3.50 an acre. :
