LANDS IN deer FLAT
SECTION Being SOLD

Nampa, Sept. 2S.-Real estate bust
ness in the famous Deer Flat potato
section is constantly assuming in
creased proportions. Yesterday, through
the local real estate firm of Walling e.
Walling, the S0-acre farm of ]. l..
Shaw in that community was sold to
Andrew c. Smith, of Emmett, for
$4,000. Mr. Smith will assume control
of his newly purchased ranch the
first of next month and will convert
It into turkey ranch, having en-
gagged in the raising of turkeys to
great profit in the Emmett country the
past few years. Through the extern
sve favorable publicity which has been
given the Deer Flat section the past
year or two consequent to its highly
remunerative potato crops, it has at
tracted much attention and numerous
inquiries are being made of it by pros
pectiye home seekers from the eastern
and middle western states.
Within the past two weeks a vast
amount of farming land in this sec
ton has been sold and the consensus
of opinion in local business circles
appears to be that the demand for
the highly profitable farms in that To-
cality will increase all the while.
