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
