IN CHERRY CO.
There's raono.y in raising pota
toes. Farmers have sold them at
oOc per bushel and they can make
: money at that price , but they
| don't have to sell at that price.
: They get 50c to 75c in the fall at
clijfiring time and seldom sell for
li\- > a lhau $1 00 pur bushel in the
spring. This spring they sell 2t
$ 25 to § 1.75 per bushel. 100
bushels per acre is only an aver
age crop here and a man can pay
for a farm with one crop on half
the land and raise enough wheat ,
i corn and oats on the other half to
I keep the family and lay some by
' for hard times which do not seem
J to come for Cherry county farrn-
1 ers.
ers.Land
Land is worth more than the
price asked for it here , and farm
ers who have sold out and gone
somewhere else are glad to get
back to Cherry county where
they can live comfortably on high
prices for everything and work
but half the time. Some farmers
who couldn't raise § 1,000 ten years
ago by selling off everything they
had could now cash up for § 20OOC
to § 30,000. Msyiy who had com
paratively nothing a dozen years
ago are now worth § 10OOC
and § 15,000 apiece.
This can also be said of our
thrifty ranchmen who have raised
and taken care of their stock ,
starting in on borrowed capital ,
though some have made much
more than the abi.ve figures.
This is no dream but a reality ,
verefied by the proof in hundreds
of men who have lived , thrived
and prospered on Cherry county
land since we have lived here.
The country is yet new , with
greater possibilities in sight for
the investor and there is land
enough now lying idle to accom
modate 1,000 families , the major
ity of which will do as well by
industry and application.
Farms are selling ab § 20 to § 40
per acre and ranch land § 10 to § 20.

IN order to furnish
proper banking protection ,
President Lincoln and his
first congress established
the National Bank which
operates under government
supervision.
From time to time addi
tional laws have been
passed under the different
presidents shown above
strengthening the protec
tion a National Bank af
fords.
Thus the confidence and
security that comes with
the possession- money
in the bank is greatly en
hanced when it is in a Na
tional Bank , for here it
has safe-guard
every pos
sible for human ingenuity
to devise.
In selecting a bank in which
to deposit your savings or
surplus funds the one thing
to be considered is safety
and we ask for your busi
ness only on the basis of ab
solute safety. Call at our
