California Has Roses
---lowa for Business ;


"CalifOrnia has the roses, but
Iowa has the business''-sO runs
the SNUG and comfortable Cos
pei which the bustling inhab-
itants of the Hawkeye State have
been preaching to the four cor
ners of the country.
And when they digest the fact
that Iowa's per capita wealth is
one and a half times the average
Of the rest of the United States,
and a few other little items like
that, outsiders begin to wonder
in what desert waste they've
been living and doing business
all this while.
Iowa is superbly alive, from
the sturdy body of farmers who
can't be fed agricultural science
too fast to suit them, to the
growing body of manufacturers
in her cities, and her municipal
officers, who are shining in the
glory of international praise for
their reconstruction of city gov
eminent.
There are 1886 farm own
ers, and 1926 tenant farmers,
or 228,612 in all. There are STA
Iowan localities supporting a
newspaper. Of that number, 375
have less than a thousand popu-
lation; 1O4 have between one
and two thousand; IS have be-
tween ten and twenty; only 5
have between twenty and forty;
and there are but 4 cities having
a population of over 10000. Yet
every one of these many locali-
ties is up-to-date in every re-
spect. Telephones, heating sys-
TENS, running water, gas lights,
sewerage, autos and even elec-
tricity are to be found on the
farms. Now hotels, business
blocks, we'll paved and lighted
streets, farm houses which rival
in beauty and cost many city
homes, are to be seen on every
hand, and tell the story of the
growing wealth.

You Can't Lose
On Iowa Lands

A Jones county farmer bought
280 acres of land two years ago,
paying what he considered as a
very fair price therefor. The
other day a fellow drove up to
the place, asked the farmer what
he would take for 200 acres of
the land and give possession at
once. The farmer studied a mo-
ment and finally set price $40
per acre in excess of what he
paid for the land. He thought
he had fixed the price high
enough so that the offer would
be refused, but the visitor
jumped at the price, and the
deal was closed. The farmer
cleared $4,000 on the purchase
price of the 200 acres, and the
chances are that if he had it to
do over again, he would refuse
to sell even at that figure.
The incident shows the rapid
increase of the value of Iowa
farm land. 1t is one of multi
tude of instances that prove that
there is big money to be made in
investing in Iowa soil.
The farm that sold at an ad-
vance of $40 per acre will prob
ably command an additional in
crease of $40 in a very few more
years. The limit has not been
reached. Iowa land will con.
tinue to increase in value.
Iowa land will increase in value
just as rapidly as cheaper land
elsewhere. Ii may increase more
rapidly. We are sure of Iowa.

Iowa Is Center Of
Great Silo Industry


It is but a few years ago that
the Iowa farmer permitted his
corn stalks to stand in the field,
allowing them to be trampled
down by the stock to be turned
under by the spring pillow.
The agricultural colleges and
the farm papers have taught
the farmer that 70 per cent of
the food value Of the corn is in
the stalk, and that there is one
method by which all of this food
value may be conserved and put
to use in building more beef and
better beef, in producing more
milk and better milk.
So the silo has come to be a
necessity on the modern farm
and out of this need has grown
one of the great industries of
our state. The state of Iowa has
more silos to the square mile
than any other state in the
Union, and she manufactures a
large proportion of the silos sold
in the entire United States.
Iowa is the center of this in
dustry.

Iowa Farm Loans
Greatest in Nation

Life insurance companies car
ry nearly twice as much money
in farm loans in Iowa as they
carry in any other state, accord
ing to figures compiled by the
Farmer-Banker, a magazine pub
lished by the agricultural COM
mission of the American Bank
ers' association.
The figures show that seven
teen United States life insurance
companies carry a total of more
than $519,OO0,OO0 in farm loans,
which is distributed among for
ty-two states and Porto Rico.
Of this great volume of money
nearly one-fifth, or $100,119,913
is invested in Iowa. Kansas and
Missouri came next in order
with about $53, 60O,000 each.

Iowa Creates
Great Wealth

The commercial greatness of
Iowa is the outgrowth of her
withdrawing capacity. Iowa
never seriously suffers from the
weather or from Wall Street.
Crops have been good for fifty
years, so good that ten per cent
Of the Worlds corn is annually
raised in Iowa. Farmers know
that their crops will be good
next year and buy their COM
forts as we'll as luxuries, with
the knowledge that the coming
year will leave a surplus like the
past.
It is this stability that makes
Iowa the ideal place for young
men to start manufacturing bust
nesses.
The consumption of machin-
cry, clothing, furniture, vehicles,
stoves, and building materials is
liberal because men are prosper
Gus. The quality demanded is
the best, because men have the
money to pay. People in Iowa
travel and enjoy themselves this
year because they know tie
bounty of Nature will not fail
next season.
It is only fifty years since the
Indian left Iowa. In that time
huge wealth has been accumu-
lated. The per capita is $1828.OO.
The value of farm lands and
blu ldings has amounted to
$500, 0OO,OO0.O0 or one-elev-
enth of the total for the United
States. This valuation is greater
than the farm lands and build
ings of Kansas, Oklahoma and
Texas combined.

One Factory Has
Nearly 500 Workers

There is a cement factory in
one of the smaller cities in Iowa
that has ATS men on it's regular
payroll. This factory is one of
the largest of its kind in the
world. A recent report of the
company shows that the average
shipments of the factory are
100000 barrels of cement each
month. This means about three
trainloads every day. The plant
has capacity of from 10000 to
10000 barrels a day. These fig
ures show that the cement indus
try is a great success in Iowa.
It is an industry, also, that stead
lily is growing greater.

Alfalfa Growing Is
Profitable in Iowa

During the last year Scott
county farmers produced alfalfa
worth $4,000, according to fig
ures prepared by the county
auditors office. Total number
of acres in alfalfa is 296, and L.
OS9 tons were harvested from
them.
Figuring the average price of
alfalfa as from $18 to $40 per
ton, the crop would be worth
nearly $4,000. Pleasant Valley
township had the largest produc-
ton owing to the Iowana Farm
crop. Seventy acres are plant
ed to alfalfa on the Col. George
w. French model farm.
