GOOD INTEREST
ON INVESTMENT
J. 11. e Board of Oskaloosa, Iowa,
bought the George Zoble place,
north of Alliance last spring, through
the Phillips Land Company agency.
He left the renting of it to them,
there being 120 acres under cultiva
tion. From here he went to Kansas
and purchased a half section. Not
being able to rent the Kansas land
without fumi.shing the seed, he pur
chased the seed. On the Box Butte
county land his share of the crop,
which cost him nothing except the
use of the land, made liitn a profit
of between ten and twelve per cent
on the investment, hut on the Kan
sas land he lost $200 in trying to se
cure a crop. This certainly makes
a very favorable showing for this
country.
E. I. Gregg went to Bridgeport last
Monday to purchase some alfalfa hay.
He ordered four car loads, one for
the ranch and three for his Alliance
trade.
