SCOTTS BLUFF COUNTRY - UP THE ■■ ■■■=■= ■ FA/TOUS NORTH PLATTE VALLEY of nf:braska BFSI IRRIGATED LANDS IN THE WEST Thirty thousand acres fertile land in a splendid climate, watered by one of the biggest irrigation systems in the country. No Nebraska land of equal area will support more fami lies. _•_ Tuesday April 27. we begin the -ale of the famous Tri-State land at Scotts Bluffs, Neb., said to lie the finest single body of irrigated land in the I'nited, State-, embracing 3d,i)00 acres, of which iO.OiMl acre- will be -old imme diately . Tfii- land is owned by the Tri-State Land < 'onipany. of which K. A ' udahy is president, and i- under tin- Great Tri-State Canal, one of the largest systems of irrigation in the west, con structed at a cost of *2.000.000. six; four horse teams. 34 horses, can stand abreast a rn— the bottom of the canal, which for the tir-t few mile- i- ninety feet wide on the bottom. It i- half again as large as the immense govern ment Pathfinder canal. It-headgates dams, intakes, wa-feway- and diop are wholly constructed of steel and re inforced concrete. Its every part rep resents the highest achievement of modern engineering -kill and work manship. The Tri-State Land Co. ha- practi cally tin- first water right out of the North Platte river, and for an im mense amount of w ater, hen it i also remembered that the South Platte waters all the Colorado irrigated land at Fort Collins, Greeley, Fort Morgan, Brush. Sterling and .lulesburg. and supplies only one-fourth as much w a ter as the North I Matte, the sufficiency I of water under the Tri-State canal can never lie questioned. It is thisj fact that is bringing so many of the (ireeiev. Fort Collins and Fort Mor gan farmers to the Scott* Bluff coun try. who all declare its land and water equal to or superior to anything in ; Colorado, while the prices are only a fraction of tile Colorado prices. This . njagnifleent body of land ut Scotts ( Bluff represents the best there i* in irrigated land. The two big canals,I the government and the Tri-State,J represent a combined cost of nearly $4,000,000, which i* an evidence of the value of the lands. Speaking of Irrigated Land, just remember: First Irrigated land produces the maximum every year. Your Eastern Nebraska and Western Iowa land never produces the maximum, because even if you got just enough rain at the right time for one crop it would de stroy part of another Second On your eastern land you raise 40 bushels of corn on an average at 40 cents per bushel, at a cost of $8. leaving you clear profit. We will I take you to many men at Scotts Bluff who raised 250 to 400 bushels of pota-1 toes per acre and sold them at 40ceits. this year considerably higher than that: 15 to 25 tons of beets at $4.50 to 5.7.IK): 4 to 5 tons of alfalfa at 94.00 per on: loo bushels of oats at 40 cents per lushel. Third It is a singular thing that vhile tin majority of farmers whb nn irrigated land know nothing of ir ■Igation,, you can never interest an rrigation farmer in any other kind of and. He doesn't have to understand ill about irrigation to succeed. The litoh rider knows and the farmer soon mows. Fourth While vour Eastern Ne traska land w ill go on up to $150 per tore, it may then stop, or it may go jack to 950 or $75, like the same land did in Pennsylvania, Ohio and New> York. Hut your irrigated land, in creasing its fertility and producing power each succeeding year, will do like the other irrigated land in this country and Europe go on up to $200, $.'100, $400 and $.500 per acre, and wfll not simply "keep you," hut will make you rich. This land lies s,, perfectly that aflat price of $7u per acre has been fixed on all uncultivated land and $'0 upon cul tivated land: hence the first excur sionists have the choice of the entire t raot. Our first excursion on Tuesday, April 27. will be made especially at tractive, and each agent is limited to two buyers. A regular excursion will * be run every two weeks. One price to all—$70 per acre for uncultivated, $80 for cultivated.— First come, first served, no favorites. Irrigated Lands advance steadily to $300 and $500 per acre. They never go back. Think once more. TERMS One-Fifth Cash, Balance in nine annual payments, commencing at the end of the second year, six per cent, interest The profits annually from the crop on this land will more than pay the deferred payments and interest For further information call on or write to George Reichers, Falls City.
