Lille Good Land in
North For Veterans

Lansing, July 1S-Cheap land in
northern Michigan counties that
will provide a living for returning
veterans who want TO engage In
farming is practically non-existent,
according to conservation depart
ment appraisers.
The department continues to sell
such tax.reverted properties-in
fact. has approximately million
acres of such holdings that still
may be bought at low prices-but
IL definitely discourages purchases
OF lands that are unsuited for the
purposes for which potential buyers
want to use them. At sales in
eight northern courthouses, begin
ming July 25 and continuing
through August 2, the department
will offer 1921 acres and 2,267
plated lots.
During the first six months OF
1914, the department has sold u.s.
62l acres of tax-reverted lands for
an average price OF s4.01 an acre.
Average bidding price for such
lands has remained fairly constant
since 1889, but quality has gone
down as land.wise buyers have
snapped up the better offerings.
