new CORN BELT IS
In NORTH DAKOTA
ON LOW-C0ST LAND

A new corn belt has developed i'm
America. North Dakota increased its
acreage devoted to corn production
over 1902 in the last five years. In
1924, North Dakota produced 81, 72O, ,000
bushels of corn. and hogs valued at
$3.50. 900.
/ North Dakota smiles with prosperity.
In 1924. it produced in new wealth
from agriculture $3.50 for every man,
woman and child in the state. The
average for the u. S. A. as a whole is
about $500.
Low-cost farm lands, millions of
acres of it, can be purchased now in
North Dakota under favorable circum-
stances.
Opportunity knocks but once, "some
great man said. Probably North Da-
kota farm land will never be SO cheap
again.
For good farmers, opportunities to
succeed and prosper in North Dakota,
were never better.
Our good faith is pledged to you to
help you locate just the kind of a farm
you wish. and at the right price.
