North Dakota 10 on the verge OF
the greatest growth in its history.
Crop prospects were never better
than they are this spring. The Mis-.

Of the state. Crop conditions here

have just passed through those states.
Nevertheless, these other states will
reap a big harvet and Eurlei.h coun.
ty will reap a better one Prices for
grains are high and will continue
high until long after the great war is
over. Big crops and high prices will
bring the greatest prosperity to our
farmers they have ever seen, all over
tho central west, and the best part
Of the central west is right here.
North Dakota raised within two
bushels OF corn per acre, on the av.
erage, OF what Iowa raised in 1914.
When Iowa was raising the same
amount OF corn now being raised in
North Dakota, Iowa lands were sell.
ing for three times what Burleigh
county lands are selling for today.
Burleigh county is absolutely the best
corn county in North Dakota, as our
soil is peculiarly adapted for this
crop.
crop. Burleigh county corn looks as
good, il not better, no., than in Iowa
and Nebraska, two of the so-called
great corn states
sBurleigh county lands are far too
low in value; these low prices cannot
long continue and anyone buying land
here now will surely make a big prof.
it within a very short time. More
land sales have been made the past
few months than in four or five years
before; more inquiries from outsiders
have been received and more prom
Uses to come up here from Illinois,
Iowa and other states have been
made by eastern delares and buyers
than for years. The tide is turning
u way at last.
values in Burleish county are far
too low. Land can be bought here
cheaper than in any county in the
state and in many cases extremely
easy terms can be arranged. There
is no sense, in u land not selling
at tho same, level as lands, in sur.
rounding counties. 1t is as good as
lands in other counties and ia man!
cases it is better. 1t is merely due
largely, to the state of mind Of a good
many Of Jul local people, who dom
know what opportunities there are
for them right under their very noses
This condition Of low values will not
last long and prices will advance. ]
would not advise anyone to broke buy
ing landst but T. do advise our loca
people to buy what they can now, be
forc the advance comes. And I woult
most strongly urge them to buy RICH
here in Eurleigh county. Buy you
land near at home, where you Cal
keep watch OF it yourself, easily, es
peclally now that every indlcatio!
points to a great betterNent in lane
conditions and prices.
Practically any banker or bushes:
man in the city will give the SAME
advice. AS an instance showing tina
the local feeling regarding Il owr
lands, there have been dozens of sales
made to Our Burleigh county farmers
the past winter and spring of LAND
adjoining that which they already
owned. Our farmers know what the
lands will do. They are our most
conservative citizens and if they be
