IN THE 10 YEARS HISTORY OF
the Swigart Tract we have seen
hundreds of land projects in all
parts of the country bob up and
quickly disappear because their
plans were not well founded. What
people want is service thai amounts
to more than simply hooking up
a man with a piece of land. The
selling of new lands we believe is
a complete work only when united
with a good working colonization
plan. The service of greatest value
to a land buyer is connecting him
I'D with success on that piece OF
land.
COLONIZING is A SERVICE that
assures the buyer more reasonable
certainty of success. We must look
with the buyer beyond the mere pur-
chase. Every season we turn down
many sales because intending pur-
chasers are unable to proceed along
practical lines or want to settle on
the land Immediately with INSULT
cient means. But we owe it to our
counties and to the many settlers
we have placed on the lands, and to
the life and strength of this pro-
ject, to dissuade any from buying
and going on the land whom we feel
will not make a success. This is
a policy that loses some business,
but secures more and better future
business.
THE QUESTION NOWADAYS is
no longer whether or not land in
vestment is good, or whether or not
farming as business is good. That
they are good is almost the univer-
sal opinion. But what people want
to know now is what lands. loca-
tions, conditions, etc, will best suit
their particular purposes and their
purses, and where farming On the
basis recommended is a demonstra-
ted success.
FARMERS GENERALLY are farm
ing too much land for the amount
of capital they have, and most
farms are therefore not as fully
worked as they should be. Grain
farming requires large acreage.
That means an investment beyond
the means of most people who want
to acquire farms, as well as an in
vestment that is not as we'll justi-
fed by returns as other branches
of farming. We advocate smaller
farms of 40 to 12O acres. we'll titled
and crop rotation, and farming with
live stock. The slogan in our part
of Michigan is "A Farmer for Every
Forty" Our sales units of 40 acres,
rightly farmed, make a living with
some to spare for any family. We
no one to buy less land
than will support his family and
enable him to get ahead, nor more
land than he can easily pay for and
handle.

WAGNER'S REVIEW
Morning Grain Letter.

Chicago. April 23.-War news over
night is more serious. There is ex-
tension of troublesome factors. Wheat
is now under the influence OF war,
dry weather, very small receipts and
decreasing European supplies. C9rn
features have been entirely rescued
from the immediate chance of selling
at 60 cents and seem to be entirely
safe at So to Sc. II Is now possible
TO state that Chicago corn receipts
during April will be smallest in II
years and Chicago corn supplies are
on their way to 100000 or 100000
total. Old timers say general con-
fict with Mexico would advance pro-
visions literally, pork leading. Guesses
on sale of cash corn here on Wednes-
day ran 100000 to 100000. Pending
the arrival of Argentine corn the east
is buying in Chicago. This may run
for another week. Some of the cash
men think a couple of more days of
heavy sales will complete. Not much
rain anywhere to Z p. m yesterday.
Some of the locals expect the corn
rally to run three cents. Great deal
of talk that break buying in July and
wheat will now be the
thing. Any short warm dry spell will
show up every dry spot in the United
States. Cables are not excited and
an upturn in our early session would
hardly hold. Our early wheat re-
ports of today are again satisfactory
as TO growth but 30 to 40 per cent
dry. Atchison, Kas., reports
western Kansas, west Nebraska and
west Oklahoma dry and while outlook
is good will want good rains from now !

Effects of National Complications


Chicago. April 23.-The Mexican af-
fair is not a war. It is a kind of in
reference in conjunction with the con-
stitutionalists. Effects of excitement
of this character. however, tend TO
stimulation of wheat prices.
The Balkan war of 1928 led to
spirited wheat upturns, but failed as
n long distance bull factor. In early
1895 the Spanish-American row was
decided help TO the Letter deal. Com
mencement of the Russ-Jap war in
1904 was big bull point. owing to the
huge wheat production of Russia
The Boer war of 1S99-1900 had no
effect on wheat. Russia declared war
on Turkey in April, 1877, which war
was discounted by a large wheat adj
vance in the same month. On the
Franco-German struggle of 1870 wheat
jumped and then lost 10 cents.
The effect of national complications
is to engender excitement which more
easily enters wheat than any other
