Dear Editor

Dear Editor
I've never tried writing real
estate literature, but III write a
few facts which are the fruits of
my own personal observations.
I have a friend who left this
country about four times. This
summer he came back and built
a house and barn, and says he's
here to stay.
: Why. you ask? Because this
is the country for the poor man
who is wanting a bit of land and
a chance to get a start in life.
Six or seven years ago when |
first came to this country, there
were miles of grass and hun.
dreds of steers grazing it. The
cattle were no good only to eat
the settlers crops.
Today there are a few cattle
here and they are all good ones.
There are now acres of farm
land where there were acres OF
sun.scorched prairie grass and
sage brush. In my opinion Ba.
ca county is &C ming to the front
Tomorrow, that is to say five
years hence, if Baca county
keeps OF growing we will have a
paradise where we have had q
veritable hades.
Now with dairying, hog rails
ing, and turkey trotting looming
on the horizon of our vision
like the morning star, ready
to Join the dry farming system,
the farmers Of Baca county have
a bright future before them.
The reason Baca county is the
country for the poor man is that
he can start on nearly nothing
and build up profitable farm.
The wealthy people who come
here, build a fine house and all
the fixings that go with it, gener-
ly leave after bad year because
they didn't know how to grow UP
with the country.
While | have yet many steps
t., climb to reach the dolla'
marx, | expect to stay in old Ba-
ca and Ike. p climbing.
Sincerely yours
Otto H. Rowland,

When they come they should
have enough MONEY to build q
house and barn. to buy wire
! to fence their whole place, and
cross fence it for fields, with
three wires. They should also
have one good team. a COW or
two. some good chickens, and
enough money to buy the neces.
sary farm machinery. and t,
keep them in groceries for a
year, or at least until one crop
has been harvested. What this
neighborhood needs in general
is a. post Office, store. Sunday
school. and church, and more so.
cial entertainment.
1t needs to realize that this is
a stock country, and try to get
stock enough to make use Of the
feed they raise.
They want TO raise good horses
instead of poor ones, and get
more cows " henever possible to
help out that creamery which
the commercial club Is working
for.
We know of several who are
here or will be here in the spring
who will be glad to have the
chance to sell some cream.
