It has not been so many, many years
ago that land was selling over IN ran ran
over township for $22 an acre and even
less. One farm Of 200 acres we have
in mind, was purchased at that price.
Ed Jurgensen purchased the 200 acres
in section IA about forty years ago ana
contracted to pay $22 an acre for the
place. He has continued to live on the
farm ever since, and could receive $4OO
and perhaps more an acre for the farm
at this time, He has made thes land
produce some wonderful crops, and has
built up a very comfortable home, and
houses the livestock of the place in
good substantial buildings, all Of which
are well painted and kept in repair
The old gentleman does not work very
hard any more, as he has two grown
sons at home, and the farm is under
their care. H. Jurgensen and brother
j. are working rs acres Of corn and ~
acres of small grain. including 8 acres
of wheat. The wheat is not the best
but is better than last year. In live
stock the Jurgensen's keep the white
face cattle, and purchased fine ami
NAL from r. w. Weed at Charter Oak.
They like the Duroc breed of hogs and
have 125 head on the farm. They will
feed a couple of loads of cattle the COM
ing season. A Huffman truck is one
of the newer necessities added TO- the
line Of farm equipment, and the boys
find IT is going to be OF much service to
them. They have not adopted the trac-
tor idea as yet, and have eleven head OF
work horses on the farm.
