LETTER FROM EXTRA BOY.
Craig, Colorado
Audubon Co. Journal,

Extra, Iowa
My Dear Lancelot:---For a long
time have contemplated writing
you a little article for your paper,
setting forth a few interesting points
about the COZ ntry where John Hicks
and myself and some other Extra
Iites have cast our lot.
1 This country affords an opportun-
lily for the young farmer who is
renting in the Middle West, which
lis worth taking some time and
|sphce in setting forth.
! Moffat County is the extreme
northwestern county of Colorado,
and Craig, its county seat, is the
present western terminal of the
Denver & Salt Lake HMoffat" rail
road. The trip from Denver to
Craig is worth ones time and ex-
pense, for scenery only.
However, as one drops down on
the western slope of the Rockies,
and especially as he approaches
Craig, he finds broad spaces be-
tween the mountains, which are
vast rolling sagebrush hills, largely
adapted to agriculture. 1t is a.
hilly country but to one used to
travelling from Extra to Elkhorn, to
lGuthrie Center, it will look a good
deal like home as far as hills are
iconcerned.
| When / came here seven years
ago "dry' farming was in the ex-
perimental stage. Today it is a
proven success. Last year, / aver
tagged 20 bushels of wheat on forty
acres. My neighbor on the north
averaged % bushels on 65 acres.
! My neighbor on the south threshed
l29 bushels Of spring wheat per acre
and "a bushels per acre of winter
wheat, This is perhaps better than
the average farmer is doing, but
shows what is being done where the
soil and preparation of the soil is
fright.
| Much land can be bought at from
ten to thirty dollars per acre, and
There is some little land left which
may be homesteaded. However, /
would rather buy land partly i'm
lproved, at Is to 20 dollars per acre,
than to homestead, as | have been
| through the mill" and know
| whereof | speak. On the other
hand, if one cannot buy for lack Of
| funds, it is no doubt better to
homestead than to not get any
land---for free land as we'll as cheap
land will soon be thing Of the
past.
1t strikes me that many Of the
young fellows there who are rent.
ing could pay for a farm Of theil
own here, for what say three years
Il
rent amounts to there.
Recently, | took up with the
Craig Commercial Club the feast
bility OF trying to get a colony o
Danish settlers in Meffat Count,
near Craig and we hope to do Lit
tie advertising which will bring j,
some of those people. As you know
| was raised among them there il

hardy, thrifty sort Of people, VIII

my word for that, but write to R..
p. Estey, Craig, Colorado (the man
who did it.
| had in forty acres Of wheat last
year. l hired all the work done,
bought seed, hired the crop hauled
to town, sold the wheat for $3.50
per bushel and cleared over $40 per
acre on the crop. That is 1929 in
terest on 5000 land. Are the Iowa
farmers beating that net profit?
This is not any better than lots
of other countries, perhaps, but the
opportunity is here to make some
nice money in the next few years
and as I can't handle all of the
100000, 900 acres in this county,
! want to tell my Audubon County
friends about it.
| am not in the real estate bust
ness, but / do want to see farmers
for our idle land, and as lawyers
friends are his capital stock, / figure
that l will Indirectly benefit by
having the country settled up---a and
| could not hope to benefit i'll told
prospective settlers a lot of false
hoods for they certainly would not
remain my friends when they
learned of my duplicity.
Understand, this land is largely
raw and unimproved and it takes
plenty Of hard work and grit be-
sides some capital to make it pro-
duce---but the opportunity is here
just the same, to get this land while
tits still cheap and to have a home
|of your own.
When | read the land advertise
ments Of many places, | sometimes
think that the reading public has
reason to doubt everything that
savors of 'land-boom," but am
Just reciting facts and will be glad
to tell anyone who is interested
more about this country. We have
our disadvantages along with our
advantages and the country which
does not have, either does not exist
or is in the Great Beyond.
Well, | expect my enthusiasm is
beginning to bore you SO will close
for this time.

BIGGER ARMY IS URGED
General Wood Advocates In
crease TO 5000, 900 Men.
Would Put Half In France az Soon
az Possible-Says German
Drive Will Fall.

Washington, March Pin a con-
fdential statement before the senate
military committee Major General
Leonard Wood, back from a trip to the
western battle front, declared that AL
lied military opinion Is unanimous
that the German offensive will fail
and urged a great increase to 1000 900
or 5000, 900 men in Americas army.
1t val General Woods opinion ac-
cording to his auditors, that the Ger
mans now on the Western front are
now numerically superior, both on
the ground and In the air, but that
the Allies are in a better position.
While confident that the German of.
fensive will be halted before the
enemy has gained any material OBJ
iectives, General Wood suggested
that. the offensive may change the
warfare into a more open contest.
Therefore, he recommended train.
ing American forces for open war
fare as we'll as for trench fighting.
The general discussed the situa-
ton In Europe and at home. Stat.
ing that the French are disappointed
in the size OF the American army
thus far In Europe, he recommended
steps to increase both the American
expeditionary forces and the army in
training in this country. Chairman
Chamberlain said General Wood rec
commended that an army OF $500, 600
men In France at the earliest pos
sible moment and 2.500,00 more in
training at home. General Wood also
recommended compulsory universal
military training.
