method is for the investor TO buy an

payment OF taxes until snch time as
development comes.
eTvHE first problem is 70 find

Here In Montana we have some Of
the best wheat land in the United
States. 1t win earn $3.50 an acre per
year for the successful wheat grower.
That makes IL very valuable Land. as
agricultural production goes. But it
would take FIVE HUNDRED YEARS
at $40 an acre per gear 70 produce
as many dollars as the value OF the
average potential yield Of an acre Of
on LAND I'm the Cut Bank field.
That makes the difference in the
price OF wheat land and OH Land.
Some OF the greatest Individual
fortunes in Kevin-sunburst field were
made By investors who bought lands
taking the place of the original land
owners in the profits from Oh.
A notable example was the Warner
chased $40 acres In East Keytn-Sun-
Catne group Of Minnesota which pur-
burst field, wen In advance Of de-
veIopment of that area. They pur-
chased IL from mortgage company.
II cost them, as we now recall, around
$4,000, which price was based ON
the value of the farm land. The
Land wa leased TO two successful
operators, one Of them the HAbbing-
sunburst and the other the famous
@S8" Petroleum. Big wells followed.
It Is reported that the Warner-Caine
group has realized moro than $780,
600 from that investment. from the
royalty earnings.
The man who can afford to buy
a farm in an OH field can make no
mistake IL ne bays the Land on the
basis OF SURFACE VALUE. 1t IL

worth the going price for wheat

may be.

is, as rule, through mortgage

At the Same time, il Is seldom that

-g HE transformation Of people
from poverty 70 riches IL more
a frequently accomplished in the OIL
industry than i'm any other business
i'm the world.
People occasionally make INVEST
ments In lands and keep them until
such time as a community grows
around them and the lands gradually
take on great value. But the rise tn
the valne Of real estate Is seldom
sudden.
Investments in industrial enterprises
may grow to eortnnes-maaking pr0po-
'sitions, but usually y is a slow devel-
opment.
This does not count the spin Of
roulette wheel, or flash in che stock
market or any other form OF gambling.
Gambling and Investments are two
different things sudden public has
learned.
Even In oil Investments, the process
is Iikey to be slOw.Th producer who
brings in a big well frequently finds
his troubles just beginning. He must
buy tanks. pipelines and other equip
ment and n the well happens 20 be
wild, he may find himself settling
damage suits. Unless he sells out, he
has to solve many problems before the
day OF the first big ''pay-Off."
The one man who is transformed
Is the OWNER OF THE LAND.

whose repcrcussionS you'll be hearing
In Congress.
Senators from the II western states
in which Uncle Sam still holds public
lands are gripping bitterly because
Senator Bob Wagner Of New York
is accepting Craftsmanship Of the
Senate's Public Lands committee.
Wagner is entitled to the Job by SEN
iority. but the westerners insist he
should have let one Of them have 1t,
in accordance with custom.
Behind the scenes RACES the old
fight Of the states for cession Of the
federal lands within their borders
100000 900 acres. That hope Is seri-
oUsly threatened by Secretary Of the
Interior Ickes' program for withdraw
ing the lands from entry and leasing
them for grazing under Q federal con-
troll which would preserve their value.
The Taylor bill, already passed by
the House. embodies that program.
The westerners think the administra-
ton persuaded Wagner to take the
craftsmanship 50 as to push the Tay-
lor bill, whereas one of their own
number would have blocked it.
