The big rush of the farmer's life is a thing of the past and the
granaries and bins are loaded with the golden grain. Golden is
used advisedly for is not the loaded bin the same to the successful
farmer as real gold? The time of relaxation has arrived, the
period when the farmer can sit down and consider the problems
which he must confront, without the worry or the work of harvest
to interfere, the time which we have waited for to have a little
talk with you in regard to a proposition that we believe is worthy
your careful consideration. In the several issues of the past we
have told you about the FINNEY COUNTY, KANSAS, lands
that we have for sale. Perhaps you have read our little talks and
thrown the papers aside, remembering with prejudiced minds the
stories you have heard of "Bleeding Kansas," and believing our
statements to be nothing but the talk of land men interested in
attracting the illusive dollars into their own pockets. Because you
may have so believed, we have secured this week several photo
graphs of actual scenes in this unusually productive part of irri
gated Kansas.
PHOTOGRAPHS DO NOT TELL LIES and as you look at the cuts that we are showing this week, realize that before the
pictures were possible, the scenes depicted had to be real.

Perhaps
It Would
IF YOU KNEW that these scenes are not unusual, but
only typical of what you would find on every hand,
were you to visit Finney county, Kansas.
IF YOU COULD see several dozen photographs of
similar scenes from this interesting county, and
know that prosperity is evidenced in each one.
TO SEE THE government statistics in regard to the
rain fall for the past thirteen years, the increase
during this time of the population, amount of differ
ent products raised, the increase in property values,
the increase in the wealth generally and the ad
vancing payroll of the constantly increasing labor
ing class.
TO KNOW THAT Finney county is the one garden
"MMIIIgMIBBIIMIIMIMMMMM""M" spot of Kansas, a place where irrigation has made
crops sure and prosperity abundant. A land where
crop failures are unknown and where the meaning of drouth and famine is a thing never thought of. Irrigation is real crop insurance where it is successful. The photographs prove it a success
in Finney county. In our office we have the photographs, the statistics compiled by the government and literature to prove the truth of our assertions.

water; good five-room house; extra large stock barn; finely equipped poultry house, large enough to accommodate 2000 fowls; goo'd granary; other serviceable out-buildings; wells and
wind mill; soil deep, dark, porous and rich none better to
be found anywhere in the world; over 200 acres of fine,
well-set Alfalfa, now growing on the ranch, which is worth
