.LANDSALES IN
COUNTY SHOW
DEMAND IS UP
Several Pieces of Land
Changed Hands in Burleigh
County Recently

I hat confidence has increased
greatly in North Dakota lands is
we'll proven ty the fact that one real
estate dealer in Bismarck has made
several sales of late including q
quarter section to II. N. Reed of Nc
KenZie, half section near Arnold
to Carl Schulz, a quarter section
east of Baldwin to Martin Bourgeois
a quarter section south of Regain to
Henry Strom, quarter near Men
oxen to George Young and another
quarter near Brittin to Adolph
Geovononi.
This same dealer states that he
has had more inquiries for prices and
terms the past few weeks than he
has had in years and has just re-
Gently sent out several offers on
various tracts for local farmers
most Of which, he feels certain will
be accepted.
Land prices are low now, he says,
lower than they have been in years
but it is the general opinion amongst
the farmers that values will rise
and that now is the time to buy
None of them are disheartened over
the fact that all our corn did not
mature as, according to all reports
we, in Burleigh county, have much
higher percentage Of matured corn
than they have in most of the So
called corn states and there will be
great deal of our corn shipped out
for seed direct from the farmers
and not through seed houses OF
dealers. There will be greater
acreage of corn put in next year
than ever before. There will be
scarcely a vacancy farm in the coun-
ty as inquiries are coming in fast
for places to rent. There will be
more hogs and milk cows than ever
and fewer store bills to be met at
the end Of the season.
Burleigh County is on the start
of it's greatest growth and the fu-
ture will be on solid foundation.
Land values will never again be as
low as they are now.
This one dealer has sent out. sew
eral thousand pieces Of advertising
matter the past few weeks and has
received a number of very encour-
aging replies from outsiders, private
parties and agents, and the coming
year is looking for one of the big
gest businesses he has ever done.
