Land
All Disposed OF
LARGE HOLDINGS IN REDWOOD
co. SOLD TO INDIVIDUAL BUY
ERS BY w. H. GOLD.

w. H. Gold last week sold all the
Redwood County farmers known as the
Sears-Gold farms over which he has
had control for many years. Mr.. Gold
was owner of these lands in partner
ship with the late Richard Sears of
Chicago. Since Mr.. Sears death, the
partnership has been with Mrs. Sears
and the Misses Sears, sisters of the de-
ceased. The lands included 2300 acres
I'll in improved farms and the money
expended on these farms by the own
ers has been a source of vast benefit
to Redwood County. During the past
ter years alone, Mr.. Gold has expended
100000 in buildings and other i'm
provements beside the large amount of
tiling which has been done on these
lands. Some of the farms. particu-
larly the large farm near Wabasso,
are among the best improved farms of
the county, for which credit is largely
due Mr.. Gold who has managed them
always with view to their future in
stead of looking at them only as a
source of present income.
The Sears-Gold partnership started
in 1903, at which time Mr.. Gold un-
derUook the management of the Sears
farm lands in the county and the pur-
chase of many more acres, spending
$4,000 in purchase price and i'm
provement at that time. There has
probably been no one firm in Redwood
County which has expended as much
in the same length of time, and
so materially improved the county as
the fitm of Sears and Gold. TO Mr..
Gold, the active manager of these large
holdings, the county owes real debt
of gratitude for benefits received.
The Purchasers.
The prices brought by these lands
range from 500 to $130 an acre and
the farms were sold as follows;
320 acres to Roy Woodford of Mara
thon. Iowa. This is the home near
Redwood Falls now operated by Simp-
son. Mr.. Woodford will not take pos
session for another year;
$50 acres near the village of Vesta
to Anton Kotval of Vesta;
80 acres near Wabasso to William
Kragh who will make his home there;
3zJ acres, also near Wabasso, which
was purchased by Fred Hanske who
was a tenant on the farm at the time
he purchased it and will continue to
make his home there;
800 acres near Clements was pur-
chased at cost of $130 an acre by Viii
liam Cavert who is connected with the
State Agricultural College and who
will use the farm as an experiment
station in his work, under his personal
SUPERVISION although he will not re-
side there:
240 acres by Mrs. Adella G. Pratt
and 240 acres by County Agent F. L.
French;
800 acres near Wabasso, compris-
ing the wellknown Sears-Gold farm
with the splendid buildings. bought
by r. A. Cooper and A. H. Vihstadt;
24O acres of the Wabasso land
bought by P. A. Callaghan Of Wabasso.

Many Cattle Dying.

Reports reached the Journal,
stating that many cattle are being
lost in the country between here
and Eads, one report being that
one rancher had lost 20 head in the
past two weeks. The protracted
cold weather with snow covering
the range, has been very severe on
stock that are supposed to rustic
for themselves. The unusual dry
season Of 1918 also caused q short.
ness OF rough feeds on the dry land
with consequent loss of cattle as
q result. The risk attendant to try.
ing to rough cattle through the win
ter without sufficient feed, is too
great and past experience should
prompt small ranchmen not to at
tempt doing so, from year to year

matter is neatly every contribu.

his subscription several times
that amount before the required
amount is raised. Please note
the progress each week and if
