against the Yaquis. He is a strong
man and is known TO hold Sonora in

one Of the best improved in Worth

paid for it. Most of the buyers Of
land in this section are farmers from
central and southern Iowa and from
Illinois, who are buying here--as the
land in this section is from 800 to
$3.50 an acre lower than in their sec
ton of the country. Those who sold
out here are buying smaller farms, or
going farther north for land, and sew
