''It's almost too good to be

BEWARE OF BOOMS

1t is hoped there never will be an
other land boom in Minnesota or
anywhere else in this country. Farm
ers would be better off financially
today had there been no such infla-
tion of land values as there was in
the northwest several years ago.
Booms always burst, leaving some
one to hold the empty sack. Those
who have had experience with booms
know that to be a fact. People in
Florida are today suffering from
their boom of a short time ago.
Land values viii increase when con-
ditions justify the advance-and that
is the healthiest boom any country
can have. The sensible farmer, who
was not caught in the whirlpool OF
speculation is not nursing ills that
were brought on by land booms. He
