SECURE A FARM IN THE
NORTH PLATTE VALLEY
THE NORTH PLATT EVALLEY, frequently called the
“Scottsbluff country, ’ ’ is making a more wonderful showing
every year in its production of irrigated crops—sugar beets,
alfalfa, potatoes, wheat and oats; it is becoming one of the rich
est localities fro breeding and fattening of live stock. Many
Government irrigated holdings of 160 acres are*being reduced
to 80 acres, making it possible for land seekers to secure 80
acre tracks irrigated under the reliable system of the Govern
ment on terms that will never again be duplicated. All we can
ask is that you visit the Valley and let our agents put you in
touch with reliable firms. Ask about the crop tonnage, the in
creased population, and note the general prosperity; this will
tell you what advance in land values you may expect there in
tho next five years.
Or, write me for the Burlington’s new publica
tion, “North Platte Valley.” Let me help you go
there and see for yourself this locality which is the
and see this locality which is the talk of the West.
