farmers In this vicinity pay for their
land with their first crop. A man
near here bought section of land In
the year 1915 for $23 per acre. He
broke 300 acres of the land during the
summer Of 1915. In the fall Of 1910
he threshed 10000 bushels OF wheat.
which paid for his land. all expenses

fall OF 1917 he threshed nearly as
much of the other half Of the section.
At the present time he would not take

acre respectively. In 1910 we raised
80 bushels Of wheat to the acre on
summer fallow. The best results are
obtained by plowing or breaking in

fall so that 1t will retain the moisture.
Thus farming one-half your ground
each year.
"Persons owning land here and still
living In the States should. II they

next spring they could come and put

1T Is not advisable for a person to
come here In the spring. break out

because the moisture Is not In the
