You Can't Lose
On Iowa Lands

A Jones county farmer bought
$50 acres Of land two years ago,
paying what he considered as a
very fair price therefor. The
other day q 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 a 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 chat 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. It 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 adj
vance of $40 per acre will prob
ably command an additional in
crease of $40 in very few more
years. The limit has not been
reached. Iowa land will con-
t;nue to increase in value.
Iowa land will increase in value
just as rapidly as cheaper land
elsewhere. 1t may increase more
rapidly. We are sure of Iowa.

MARKET NOTES

Wheat bears are looking for further
break unless there is material in
crease IN the outside buying. 1t is the
impression among traders that the
market Is not in any shape to with
stand heavy selling. Some Of the COM
mission houses. while bearish and
advocating lower prices, are averse to
snort sales on the decline. The break
from Saturdays close has been the
best in over two weeks.
Corn bulls say that with two short
crops there is no prospect for low
prices the next twelve months. With
an oat crop below an average, and
with an export demand that has taken
part OF the surplus, oat traders gen.
orally are inclined to look for the main
tenA1ce of high level of values unless
the export demand continues as small
as II was yesterday
Government report made number Of
stock hogs on farms for fattening 1908
per cent as compared with last year.
Condition, 39.4 Last year condition

A big run of horses, In consequence
OF the bloom assumed by the market
iast week, damaged prices. Consignors
or little. weedy runts will get 1t in the
neck right along because inspectors will
pass only horses with stockiness and
strength and Of all the hard horses to
get rid of 1t is rejected warrior" It
mas been somewhat more of a trick to
sell these horses today than it was at
the end of last week because the rumor
is around that the inspection will prove
very exactiny and operators are dis
posed to go 3 little slow and find out
what Is really to happen, but there is
ready sale for all real army horses
available. Shippers who figure to make
money out Of Canadian demand must
not forget that each and every animal
must be up to carrying 220 lbs. 1t is
quite trick to pack man weighing
22O lbs any distance in day and that
fact must be borne In mind when MAX

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.
0S9 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
