IOWA LAND WORTH $500.
G.. H. Nelson of Waverly Says Iowa
Farmers Are MilliOnaires.

New Hampton, Aug. 25.-The
main feature of the North Central
Iowa Buttermakers' and Draymeu' S
Association, at New Hampton last
week was the address of C. H. Mel
son of Waverly. Mr.. Nelson owns d
herd of Holsteins with the highest
rank as to butter fat of any herd in
the state. His talk was brim full OF
good things. He said in part, Iowa
will supply the world some day, for
we have the very best land in the
world. Our land will be worth $500.
Iowa farmers are millionaires and
don't know it. Dairy cattle will pay
10 per cent profit on $500 land. No
piece of property in Iowa pays the
interest on the investment thar the
dairy COW does. Mine yield S12J
per year cash profit. Oh, how | pity
the forty-year-old retired farmer
who moves to town to make loafers
of his boys. Don't worry about the
tariff farmers, if you have 4 good
Holstein COW, a good wife, and n
good family you are all right. When
you have creameries, schools. chur-
ches and homes you have an ideal
place to live. Take care or your
boys and girls, educate them. Look
to the future. l have all faith in the
farmers of Iowa, in my flag, in my
country and great admiration FOR
humanity at large
