J. S. KLEMGARO BUYS
7. v. SAVAGE FARM
ideally Located Acreage Comes Into
POSSESSION of Big Land Owner
at S115 Per Acre

James S. Klemgard. one of Pull
mans largest land owners, who
spoke before the wheat convention
last week on the smaller farm prob
lem, added 410 acres to his extensive
holdings last Saturday when he
closed a deal for the purchase of the
old 7. w. Savage place, two miles
west of Pullman, paying $115 per
acre, or $47,150. The deal was
closed by the H. Folger Realty Co.,
and under the terms the purchaser
is to take charge next fall. getting
one-third of the crop of next year.
The place is one of the oldest and
best improved farms in the Pullman
neighborhood having been taken by
I. W. Savage under the homestead
and presumption laws in 1880. Upon
the death of Mr.. Savage about two
years ago the home place became the
property of his heirs, and a few
months ago Mrs. Ortis Hamilton of
Spokane, a daughter of Mr.. Savage.
became the sole owner, she making
the transfer to Mr. KlemPard.
The place will be recognized by
many farmers throughout the North
west as the scene of the big tractor
demonstration last year, the entire
inl Of
waited by the dozens of demonstrate
ing machines during the meet. Two
hundred acres of the place is in fall
wheat. The farm is now leased to
Arthur Cole, who will continue to
farm it until the new owner takes
possession next fall
The purchase of the Savage farm
gives Mr.. Klemgard a total acreage
of $3.50 acres of as good farm land
as can be found in Whitman county.
Mr.. klemgard purchased the farm
for home place, it being one of the
most ideally located and best equip
ped ranches in the Palouse Coun-
try. Practically all the balance of
Mr.. Klemgard's extensive holdings
are leased, both his son and son-in-
law operating large farms owned by
him.
In the purchase Mr.. Klemgard
puts to personal test the logic pre-
sented by him before the wheat con-
vention during the smaller farm dis
cussion, when he stated that The
larger the farm the larger the profit
and contended that just so long as
that condition existed the large
farms would continue to exist and
possibly grow larger, with the disin-
tegration taking place only when ne
cessity, in the form of high priced
land and low priced wheat bring it
about. Many farmers, especially the
tenants, took exception to the re-
marks, but Mr.. Klemgard's faith in
his own judgment is indicated by this
substantial increase in his already
extensive holdings.
