MINNESOTA'S ADVANTAGES.

These figures ought to show farmers in states
where land is selling at from $4,000 to $4,000 an
acre, that they sell out there come here, buy
twice or three times much land and increase their
production three to five fold what they have at
home. This is business proposition. If could
buy $500 bond bearing per cent interest at so cents
the dollar he would be foolish to pay $3.50 for
another which is no better
MATTER OF LAND VALUES
Farmers who own land worth $500 buy
three of the fertile land IL this state for
the selling price of every they possess and
on the three acres of Minnesota land they grow
from four to five times much they the
they possess 1t ought to look good to
the big farmers in the other states, hadn't it?
Below give you interesting table showing
average yields per for period of five years.

The department of Commerce of the Census
Bureau in it's figures the national wealth just
made public, shows Minnesotas wealth to be $751;
100000, figure above those of Michigan and Indiana
and just below those of Missouri, New Jersey and
Massachusetts. These fine, impressive figures, and
the relative standing Of Minnesota among the states
is gratifying indeed. 1t comes to $2673 per capita
while the average for the whole country is only
little than 1900 per capita. This is good as
far it goes; still when Minnesota brings it's
under cultivation up to the maximum of their
capacity in crop yields and the unimproved idle
land Of millions Of is put under the cvilizing
touch of the plow it should reach the ten billion dol
