Recent Sales of
Io,Ua Farm Lands

Macy Bros, OF Lynnville, are still
buying farms and adding to their big
acreage of Jasper county land. Yes
terday deal was closed by C. o. Macy
whereby the nelghboring business firm
becomes the owner of the Matte e.
Sylvester farm Of 230 acres located
just southwest Of Lynnville. This farm
joins the $40 acre farm owned by the
same firm and now makes, says Mr..
Macy, "a block of $50 acres of as fine
farm land as there Is in the country"
The deal of yesterday was strictly
cash proposition and will be transferred
about 5000 per acre. The $50 acre tract
Is operated by the Macy Bros, and will
be converted into one of the best stock
farms in the county.
Britt.-C. II. Kelly Of Madison town
ship, last week sold his farming prop
|erty in Madison township. Mr.. Kelly
owned 240 acres in Hancock county, di-
vided in two adjoining farms, both i'm
proved. One was an 80 acre tract
which was purchased by Cheney Nelson
for consideration of $40 an acre;
the other, the 100 acre tract where Mr..
Kelly resided, was sold to d. r. Sweet
for $135 an acre. Mr.. Kelly bought this
land sixteen years ago, paying $3.50
and $40 an acre, and this sale shows an
increase of practically 800 an acre or
an annual profit of almost $500 less
the cost of improvements.
4 Ackley.-N. NJ. Meteor and DR.. J. J.
Miller, who. ten months ago bought a
farm Of seventy-seven acres, located
just to the south of Ackley, on Thurs
to Norman E. Weber. At the time Of
purchase the first buyers contracted to
pay $15,400, or an even 5000 an acre.
After having held it for ten months
they have sold it for $3.50 an acre, or
a total Of $19,55s. The farm is we'll
improved and close to town.
Cherokee.-The Joseph Miller farm of
1872 acres, near Newton, has been sold
to L. c. Altemeir for $3.50 per acre
Eight years ago the Miller heir bought
the place at $50 per acre. Still there
are people in that immediate neigh
borhood who are listening to real ea-
taters" who are selling land in Canada,
or in Texas. or in California or else
where. and who try to make their VIC
Tins believe that they are offering them
something better than can be had right
here at home. When a man can clean
up more than 900 per cent on an invest
ment in eight years. and when that In
vestment involves no risk whatever,
- T.
pople right here at home ought to real
ize the fact that this Is the land Of op-
portunity and that there Is no other.

Good Profit in Dairy Cows,

A Norwegian banker in northern
Iowa who owns farms has figured it
out that there Is profit of $40 per
annum per COW in a good dairy COW
over and above the cost Of her feed
Interest and depreciation on the COW
is only $40, leaving $50 per annum net
for the labor of doing the chores. This,
he says, costs him nothing as the same
number of men do the farm work any,
way. In other words each COW MIXED
nets 6 per cent on $1,000 additional
value in the farm. Ten cows make the
farm earn on $4,000 and thirty cows
will pay per cent on the price of n
farm. Cows can double the returns
from the entire farm.

Statistics For Year
Sho,D An,es Students
Go Back to Farms

Agricultural students at Iowa State
college arc not trained away from az
riculture, but overwhelmingly they 60
into agriculture when they graduate
or into closely allied work. The fact is
made clear in statistics just gathered
by Dean c. F. Curtiss from the mem
bers Of the 1915 graduating class. OF
the $50 men who got agricultural de-
grees last June. only about dozen are
not at work In the agricultural field.
the remaining 1Ss are on farms or In
work closely related to agriculture.
In detail the record shows that the
$50 graduates of 1915 are engaged as
follows: Farming, s.; teaching agri-
culture in high schools and college, so;
agricultural extension work, 6: agri-
cultural experiment station work, 8:
agricultural journalism, 4: post gradu-
ate students in agriculture, 4: sales
MEN. 1; creamery managers, 3: for
estry service. 8: craftsmen, q; manu-
featuring. 2; county agricultural agent,
l; landscape work. 1; silo building, 1;
greenhouse work, /; machinist, /; con-
tractor, 1; transportation, L; insur-
ance, 1.
Even among the dozen men not in
lines of work closely allied to agricul-
ture the majority are using their agri-
cultural training; for instance. the ad-
vertising man is dealing largely with
agricultural interests and some Of the
statesmen are dealing with farmers. The
number of teachers is very large be-
cause of the insiStent demand for a pr}
cultural teachers will not be denied
Very attractive salaries are paid be-
cause the need for these specially
trained men to introduce these subjects
in the school is great. Most of the ag-
ricultural teachers are planning in a
year or two to take up farming directly.
