Burlington Increase
Greater

The conditions prevailing in Europe will some day
prevail in the United States Between that day and the
present time the only problem for the land investor to
decide is, Where will the greatest percentage of
increase be?
Based on the cost of crop production, total farm
earnings average prices for farm products the compara
tive scarcity of farmers, the development of new
countrythe increase will be greater in the Burlington
district.
This increase will be noticeable when the Burng-
ton farmers cultivate their land they should. While
there many good farmers in the country there
others who make good living with careless methods
and short hours common remark of the hundreds
of visitors to the Burlington district is "When the
farmers here farm the way they do back east they will
get twice much for their work. This time is coming
and it will enhance the value Of land and add to the
farmers prosperity.

Will Land Values
Increase?

As everyone knows, the prosperity of farmers
be attributed not only to profitable crop years but also
to the steady increase in the value of their holdings Re-
gardess Of temporary setbacks caused by lowpriced
farm products there is question of doubt in the minds
of well-informed observers and economists that land
values will continue to increase everywhere.
Ex-Presdent Taft said: "While the population in
ten has increased twenyone per cent the increase
in farming has increased four per cent" He explained
in these words why land values everywhere will continue
to go up. Each 40 of agricultural land in this
country now on an average supports six people. In
Germany each 40 supports 10. Land in Germany
is valued per several times the in the United
States With rapid increases in population,
land values will become like that of Germany. In
France the opposition against large families prin

What About the
Farm Renter?

During the period Of high prices for farm products
Q9l7 1918, 1919 the farm renter enjoyed wave of
prosperity that has been equaed in the history of
the United States In most cases he made money
than the of the farm. He acquired automobiles,
silk shirts bundles Of stock certificates and many other
things which did not represent his actual and true needs
Some of the far-sighed used their surplus earnings
to buy farm There quite few of this class in
the Burlington district.
When the prices of farm products tumbled it brought
the farm renter to his sober senses Now thousands of
them doing serious thinking the farming
business than ever before in their life. 1t is plain rea-
zation of the "Where do go from here attitude.
The time opportune for the farm renter
to give consideration to his chance of becoming farm
in the Burlington country.

Burlington District Offers Farm
Renters Splendid Future

During the period of high prices representatives of
the Burlington (Colorado) Publicity Board visited farm
renters in all parts of the middle west. AS result Of
their efforts many renters operating their own
farms in Eastern Colorado. However, there many
renters who, osrchke stuck their heads in the sand
and refused to look into the future be convinced Of
the wisdom of buying farm.

The members of the Burlington Publicity Board
appreciate the financial condition of the average renter
and willing to make him concessions that he may
be planted safely and firmly his feet This assistance
means that buy farm for small amount of cash

extend long time credits to worthy and industrious
farmers and the banks will do everything within their

To Develop New

Requires Men With
Vision and Courage

1t has been said city, nation, Or community
prospers to the extent that it possesses men with
vision, energy and industry. To transform raw
prairie country into one with farm homes on every
quarter section requires in addition to these quail
fications men with courage and capital.
The Burlington Colorado district is fortunate
in having group of business men who measure up
to the above standards. In few short years they
have broken, fenced and improved thousands of
acres of raw land in eastern Colorado Their aim
is to settle the country with congenia industrious
and deserving farmers, who are bound to get along
all right where conditions are good for agriculture

Farming in Burlington
District Profitable

In the Burlington Colorado district, based on
present prices it is possible for farmer to make
satisfactory earnings over and above the carrying
charges of interest and rent. There are many rea-
sons why this is so and they become apparent to
any one who makes study of farm economics.
In the Burlington district you will find dark,
loam soil, free from stumps, stones and obstruc-
tons of any kind awaiting the turn of the plow.
This, too, at prices from $35 to SIS per acre, de-
pending upon the distance from town, etc. 1t will
produce an average of twenty-five to forty bushels
Of wheat per acre, twenty to fifty-fve bushels OF
corn, and other small grains and forage crops in
proportion. AS live stock and dairy country, it
possesses all the fundamental essentials for success
in these lines or diversified farming Compare this
with the cost of crop production, revenue, etc. Of
the higher priced FARMS Leaving out the ,senti-
mental value attached to farm in the older agri-
cultural sections pencil and pad will easily prove
that farming in the Burlington district is the most
profitable Of the two.
The item of taxes, very live issue at present,
is factor of very little importance to the eastern
Colorado Farmer. When new schools, bridges, or
roads are built, the amount seems small when COM
pared with those levied in the older communities.
The Burlington district townships are in good fl
nancial condition, usually free from debt and the
administration of the county affairs have been pro-
gressive, yet very economical.
Gas engines, tractors and automobiles have
brought down the cost of production for farmers
in eastern Colorado, whether it is on quarter Sec
tion or $40 acres. Any member of the Burlington
Publicity Board will be glad to supply you with
facts and figures based on the crop production of
the past ten years.

Farming for
Profit

r. The principal object of farming or that
Of any other business is to make money, pay
a profit. When $250.00 an acre and up is
paid for land, there may be many sound
reasons for paying that price, but to secure
a profit especially on general farming, is
not one of them.
Due to over-capitalization Of farm land
values, farmers in the higher-priced farm
ing districts have been prevented from
making satisfactory dividends. This was
true in degree during the period of high
prices for farm products, and now during
the period Of lower prices It is painfully true
to thousands of farm owners and renters
everywhere in the United States.

Practical Help Extended
Newcomers

They help new settlers, giving them the bene-
fit of long experience in agriculture best suited to
the district All the members of the Burlington
Publicity Board are farmers and their offices are
maintained as much for the direction and convent
ence of new settlers as for the sale of land
They are liberal advertisers, realizing that
large areas of land can be developed only by the
cooperation of large number of people, Thus to
a land buyer there is assurance that wherever he
may be located, sooner or later will be brought in
settlers on land adjoining his own. r
1t is very different from buying land z
in some far-away location, where one is
left without any effort being made to
settle up the country around him. An in
vestor should bear in mind that when he
buys an unimproved piece of land or even
slightly improved that enhancement in
value comes to it from the colonization
work through which the land around it
is improved and developed. The achieve.
ments Of the Burlington developers in this
respect have commanded the admiration
of farmers, bankers business men and
colonizers throughout the middle west
