Many people, / dare say, have taken
the advantage of those low rates,
simply as pleasure trip, and no
doubt many have had a good time
and enjoyed the trip and been shown
some good propositions.
You no doubt have learned from
experience that the car fare on a
trip of this kind is the small part
of the expense. Here is our pro-
position, compare it with others have
to offer you and if they can show
you better proposition than we are

They will tell you that they con |

two crops a year. They raise three
crops of broom corn year on the
same ground from which they are
vntt 81 hal tns,
per cutting are receiving 1925 per
ton for II at the local stations. At
the same time they can put in a crop
same land which will make them a
net return Of 5000 an acre profit,
thus making four crops a year.
Let the farmers show you their
herds of hogs, where hog cholera is
unknown and where they can pasture
twelve months in the year on their
alfalfa and grass pasture. Talk to
the farmers who have cut their Sth
crop of alfalfa this year and which
has averaged a ton to the acre for
