No Such Animal.

Following a list of farm sales
which run from $14O' to $21O per
acre land company handling north
western lands has the nerve to insert
the assertion that just as good farms
as these may be bought of this COM
pany in a northwest state for $50 to
$50 an acre The ad follows the list
of farm sales in a northwestern Iowa
newspaper.
1t is shrewd appeal to human
nature. We are naturally bargain
hunters. Somebody tells us the story
of how Iowa farm lands sold for $40
an acre and supplements it with the
suggestion that other lands offered
today at low prices are as good. And
desiring to believe it we take hold.
But it isn't So. Grant that the
lands advertised are worth $50 to
$50 an acre-it is poor land nova
days that is worth less-the fact
stands that nobody can buy any
where on earth as good land as Iowa
farm land at $50 to $50 an acre.
Further there are no farm lands any
where that equal those of Iowa.
That's the reason Iowa farms are
selling from the $3.50 mark on up to-
wards $500 an aero.
Judge Emil McClain went to the
coast. He had become convinced that
it was the place for him to pass his
days But Judge McClain came back.
He was able to get back. Some of
those who went haven't got back yet.
Some of them desire to stay. Some of
them are able to buy climate with
Iowa money and are entirely satisfi-
cd. It's good and pleasant country.
But it isn't Iowa and lacks Iowa s
opportunities and Iowa's crops and
lot of material benefits bestowed
by Iowa upon those who here in
habit. McClain came back and told
his reasons for coming. And they
are good and sufficient reasons for a
man who is still young and seeking
young mans opportunity.
These lands in the northwest are
not lacking in opportunity. Men go to
them and succeed. But they are not
Iowa lands. The Iowa farm is in the
center of the rainfall that makes
corn and oats. They raise more to
the acre and they touch the biggest
markets at the right distance. There
amt no SIGH animul" as farming
country equal to Iowa.
Don't believe it. Give the north
west lands their due but when any
one tells you he can sell you land as
good as Iowa lands for one-fifth Of
the price of an Iowa farm just re-
member that other advertisement
which offers to sell gold watch
worth $50 for S3.99.-Marshall town
