CORN LAND $4,000 an ACRE

North Dakota, the new corn
state, was the theme Of an address
by P. G. Holden, formerly of the
Iowa State Agricultural school. but
now at the head of the information
al Harvester Company's service
bureau, at the North Dakota Corn
and Clover convention at Grand
Forks early this month. Mr.. Hold
Ell declared that corn soon would
be North Dakota S greatest crop.
You people do not realize how
fast North Dakota has become a
corn state" he said. And l tell
you it will not be long until it will
ibe your greatest crop. Wheat is
not always to hold that place, and
the sooner you farmers realize that
the better. Many farmers have
come to this state hoping to get
rich in a few years by growing
wheat. Many have done so and
have gone away. But that is not
what you want. You want men
who will make this state their home
men who will come here, live here
and die here. These men will real
ize that wheat is not to remain the
greatest crop.
"They learned that in Iowa, and
the minute they made corn their
greatest crop the $40 land went up
to 500. That's what will happen
here. It happened in Iowa, be-
cause with the corn came other
lthings-the other things which 60
70 make up the great home life Of
tho American farmer. i

"Four years ago, as much faith
as ] have in corn, l wouldn't have
said that you could raise such corn
as you are exhibiting here today.
But you have done it, and you can
do still better. You people can get
over the period passed through
much easier and quicker than they
did, because you can profit by their
experience. These meetings are to
help you through that period.
