tomobile makers during the past Few
years is suggested by the fact that
only four years ago. in 1911. the record
was 74.59 miles an hour. In the race

THE ELBERT DISTRICT
PROSPEROUS, AND why

Because crops OF all kinds are and
have been good this and every year; the
cattle prices have been good. and the
price OF cream and milk have been good
with an ever increasing demand for all
producte, and these are the chief essen.
tials that n to make up prosperous
country.
A canvass OF tho district will show
that there is an average yield OF close to
twenty-five bushels Of wheat to the acre,
ifty Of oats. thirty Of corn, good hay
and potatoes.
This land on which these crops are
raised will run in value according to i'm
provemeuts. location, etc. about 500 to
$50 per acre.
The wheat crop IL figured on an aver
age basis at the present market value
would bring $3.50 per acre per year on
basis Of twenty five bushels per acre,
and there are great many whose crops
are very much above this mark. Oats,
rye or potatoes will either do as well.
Then that old cow-when you buy
mich COW from neighbor she is always
a "hum dinger.' six gallons and over
now il she gives three gallons day for
270 days at the present price Of milk
(which is II cents psr gallon) she would
bring you in sl37.7o. Now most any old
half section OF land will keep twenty
head OF COWS and furnish all the farm
land needed for one man, and raise all
the corn feed necessary to keep over
winter these cattle and other stock need
ed on the place. Then there is the calf,
some chickens and pigs that might be
made worth something, TO say nothing
Of the grain crops. Yet this land is only
selling around el5 an acre on the aver
age, and there are men crying that the
real estate man is robbing these unso-
phisticated easterners who are seeking
new location and a home.
Compare il you will the crops raised
here and in any Of the eastern states,
and then compare the investment and
what it costs TO produce the crops, the
possible chance OF failure, then answer
why our land right here around Ebert
should not be selling for one hundred
dollars an acre.
What we need most is thrifty men:
men who do not wait until the season is
over to see IL ii Is going to he good crop
season; wait TO see il the silo on his
neighbor's place pays, and who does not
keep the middle Of the road with his
wagon SO his ueighbo who has an auto
mobile cannot pass, but goes in and does
things. II his neighbor holds his lana
at $50 per acre don't tell the man look
ing at it that he has a better one Tor 81
all acre if the real estate man don't get
a commission out Of it, then turn real
estate man and try to sell another neigh
bor's place and attempt to make three
times the commission that the real estate
man would get. all because you are an
honest farmer.
