g These sales were all made in the last
month or so. right in the dead of win
ter with a heavy snow on the ground.
Could there be any more convincing
proof that RuSk county land has a
reputation for being good? Most OF
these buyers either knew the land
they bought or had friends here who
did and they bought the land for
homes and will move onto their farms
in the spring. AS this report comes
from only one of our land men 1t
gives an idea of the movement OF land

will double in the next few years

CONFLICTING PUB
e. Lie STATEMENTS

Farm Editor NewS-Budget: Applo-
pos to nothing in particular, | call at
tpnton to two statements recently
made by the pea Gamers.
In New York. where the farmers OF
ten counties have organized for the
collective contracting of acreage and
demanded 1 cents per pound for peas.
the Gamers replied that they could
not pay that price and meet the com
petition of Wisconsin. where peas
.ould he grown so much cheaper. =
In Milwaukee the other day the
500 rotary of the Wisconsin Pea Can
ners' Association told Il WOman's CLUB
that the farmers who raised the peas
received 515 cents per pound besldes
icing furnished the seed below cost.
The question is: are the Gamers
'stringing' the consumers or sting
ng" the producers. or both!

CLOVER SEED IS
A PAYING CROP
COnrath Farmer Realizes Sum
of $1,000 From 10 Acres
in 1919

Matt Meyers. of COnrath. was Il bust
ness visitor in I.adysmith Tuesday
where he closed up deal for GO acres
of land which with the 100 acres he
already OWNS east of COnrath makes
him Il square quarter section or as me
land as is to he found in Rusll county.
This land was bought of Cecil w.
Hughes. of Indiana. the deal being
made through Frank Hughes. of Lady
smith. There are ~ acres cleared on
the new 60 acres and the balance is
open. easy -tO-clear land. Price paid
was $500. or $3.50 per acre. TO this
price may he added the cost Of clear
inc which will he done this summer.
and the first crop of clover seed will
more than pay for land and the entire
expense. if it does as we'll as. the clover
on 10 acres did for Mr.. Meyers last
year
He grew and sold over $500 worth
of clover seed in 1910. and the money
received was more than what he PAID
for his farm of 100 acres. when he
bought it nine years ago. (besideS he
had the hay left for farm uSe) This
100 acres was iii heavy. green timber
and hard to clear There are now 90
acres under the pillow. and the balance
is brushed and seeded to clover which
was so high last fall that the COWS
nearly hid in it,
4 barn 40xG4 was built III 1917. The
house which is small will be replaced
nv one new and modern when enough
clover seed is grown to pay for it.
Mr. Meyers is getting Il good start i'll
pure-bred stock and will be holding
sales of his own grown animals before
many years.

IOWA LAND BRINGS
$3.50 TO $500 PER ACRE

Claus Reylets sold his 51-acre farnr
near Rock Rapids Iowa, for $3.50 per
acre recently to j. r. Kupyer. of .Steen,
Mimi. total amount paid being So
600 This is Il choice farm and is To-
Gated near the section which Claude
DeVaul bought Of II. Randolph last
fall for 5000 per acre or S3S4,000
The writer well remembers when the
land in the above portion of Iowa was
only worth $40 to $40 per acre. In
fact we herded cattle on the prairies
of KOSSuth county. when farm homes
were five to ten miles apart. 1t was
predicted there when land finally got
to $50 per acre that it was too high to
be profitable and when one or two land
men made the statement that it would
be selling for 500 per acre in less than
ten years, most Of the people thought
they were either foolish or were doing
it Just to boost their land. These
prices proved too low, but even the men
who predicted them did not think they
ever would be higher than 500 per
acre. These Iowa farms are capable
Of producing 80 bushels of corn per
acre. which at present prices bring
them quite few more dollars than
bushels What will they do to make
interest ON their investment if they
cannot get that amount of money for
| it? Iowa now has to have bumper
crop of everything every year and
must get abnormal prices for them II
the farmers of that state hold their
| own
! Iowa depends on corn and hogs to
large extent and it is not an uncOm-
mon thing to see those hogs die like
flies from the cholera. or other dis
eases One bad year down there
we'll we don't like to contemplate the
consequences. The land is owned
largely by spectators and the big ma
i0rty of the farmers are renters.
When we compare this with the
Rusk county farmer on his own 40 or
SO-acre farm which he bought at q
price of from 10 to 500 per acre. we
can see that in a few years our farm
ers will have big advantage Of the
/ Iowa farmer in the first place. his
neighbor like himself is a land owner,
and alSe~a dairyman. and where con-
dltions are like that both men will
maintain the fertility Of the soil, and
| increase their clearing. buildings and
! other improvements as fast as posi-
/ bic. Every acre they clear will pro
duce enough crop to pay for 1t and the
clearing. if not in one year it sure will
not take more than two. Where can
man place his money to better advan'
tage? Show us another country
where a man can get backed on his
! land for several years without paying
any interest or principal on his land
if he keeps on improving so as to show
improved values. Cases can be cited
where the sellers have even paid the
taxes for several years on land they
have sold and even helped the buyer
to lumber. fencing and other things,
and waited for their money until the
man has made good. We repeat, show
us any other such country?
Right here let us sound word of
warning Don't come here to buy land

phcity in keeping with his way of
life marked the funeral of w. Mur-

flower banked casket lay in the
hall of the great house on the hill,
while neighbors, millworkers, fnan-
ceers, politicians and other friends
from far and near Streamed past for
a fareXell view. There followed a
plain SesSsse of scripture reading,
hymn al xlyer Church bells toll
ed and the 0&,y assembled in phi
vate in the VII. p cemetery, short
distance from the ne estate, and
listened to the buI1e Ial. There
was no hint of culoov t x possib-
" in the prayer and no mu f any
kind. A throng largely madt up Of
loWnspeople filled the approaches to
the residence and invaded the broad
lawns; as many as could find room
were admitted to the house for the
funeral, but the number was only a
fraction of those who desired to hear
the service. As mark of respect a
holiday had been declared for most
of the workers of Dalton and Pitts

of paying last tribute.
The dropping of flowers on the
Crane home from an areoplane was
done as an unusual feature of the
tribute to the ex-senator The ar
