The Legislature has determined that
monthly sales must be held in nine diff;

at the Court Houses. 800 acres can
be sold to any individual and all lands
are sold at public auction. Fifteen

the balance may be paid any time

swamp lands. Many of these lands

obtained from J. A. o. Preus, State
Auditor. :,
The lands this year have sold on al
average Of between $500 and $500 per
arce. The minimum appraisement on
any parcel is $500 per acre. Mime.
