prices for the land cultivated" 1t
is easy to see that farming SO to
S35 land that produces the same net
returns from beans and potatoes as
the growing of corn and oats on
$3.50 to $500 land is by far the bet
ter business venture. That is the
difference between making the
ground pay in Mason, Manistee,
Lake and Wexford Counties, Michi-
gan, where the Swigart Tract is
located, and McLane and Livings-
tone Counties, Illinois, where land
prices are so high.
Q. PRODUCTION OF COM
modities for which the supply is
less than the demand" The short
age of potatoes of last season made
necessary their importation from
Europe and the call has gone out
to Michigan that she must raise ten
million more bushels this year than
last. Michigan's matchless north
ern grown seeds are now being
sought for by every section of the
country. Our part of Michigan
grows many crops that each year
fall short Of the market.
8. MANAGEMENT of the bus
mess on as large scale as capital
and managerial ability will permit"
Although we encourage NO man to
take more land than he can easily
pay for and operate, the beauty of
going into farming here is that one
can get enough land with moderate
means to insure his success. We
advocate 40 to 160 acres and farm
ing with live stock. We assist ev-
cry man in the management Of his
farm through the medium of our
farm advisers who are experienced
in farming in our district and
rounded out their educati at the
Michigan Agricultural College.
These farm advisers regularly visit
every farmer in the Swigart Tract.
4. PRODUCTION OF COM
modities of the highest quality"
The grains and grasses of our sandy
loan soil are exceptional in quality.
Our fruits and vegetables are noted
for their favor and good keeping
qualities.
5. "A REPUTATION FOR re-
liability" This applies to a farmer
n any district, but districts as a
whole have their regulations and
he good class of settlers who have
moved into the Swigart Tract have
llready attracted the attention of
he best buyers of products ana
lave established good marketing
). LOCATION FOR good mar
,ets available and ability to buy
nd sell profitably." A glance at
he map of Michigan will show how
veil the settlers in our townships
re located. No section of land in
he Tract is more than miles from
ONE shipping point, and, besides a
lumber OF new towns, the local
market is good one in the cities
( Manistee and Ludington. The
ectfon line roads are good ana
lake hauling easy. Four railroads
erve the district. besides a number

/. KEEPING ANIMALS only
the highest productive capacity"
r. Spillman might have added to
Is list the necessity of proper care
i'd right conditions for farm AMI
ais. Nowhere are conditions
ore contributory to the health and
hciency OF farm animals than here.

where pasturage is nutritious, wa
ter pure and plenty of it; and our
northern climate moderated by
nearness to Lake Michigan. Our
farm animals, like the men Of this
latitude, are less subject to disease
or suffering than those in warmer
or colder climates.
8. LARGE YIELDS with rela-
lively little labor and fertilizer"
In no location or on no lands do
vegetables, fruits OF all kinds and
leguminous crops yield more abund-
antly with the same amount of
labor than on our prolific, warm,
sandy loan soil We do not have
to hire the extra help necessary for
dry farming cultivation or the mud
pudding of irrigation. We have an
average of 80 inches of rainfall
evenly distributed over the grow
ing season. The LABOR of the nus
bandman here is not over-strenu-
GUS Nature does her full share
and does not permit storms and
floods to destroy his handiwork.
We avoid the necessity OF expen-
pedient of rotating our crops, green
manuring, pasturing and utilizing
material from the barnyard.
9. PRODUCTION AT low
cost" This we accomplish by d.
versified farming, keeping us busy
the year round and avoiding the
necessity of hiring much help at
one time and being comparatively
idle at other times. Diversification
assures a steadier and better distrI-
button of labor, and thus lower
cost of production and surer in
come.
10. TAPLE COMMoDI-
production for per
profits.' Our stand-bys
are clover, alfalfa, rye, vetch, oats,
wheat, 90-day corn, soy-beans, cow
peas, tubers and an boot crops. Al
so people must have fruit, and for
It they will pay more than for any
thing else that comes from the l
ground. In our district trees that
grow apples, cherries, plums, peach
rs and pears also grow bank &C
counts for their intelligent keepers.
Small fruits such as Strawberries,
'aspberries, blackberrles, blueber-
les and grapes grow well. Let him
AXE them who will, and he who
,uItivates them is wefl rewarded.
