Young Man: Be a Producer
It Pays! It mean,s independence and wealth; it- means a new life with
broader aims and perfect contentment.
Why good, strong, young men will stay in the east and rent land
when the same money will buy good land in the 'West, or why young
men will fight for an attempt to exist on just a salary when there are
thousands of acres in the West that only need brains and brawn to
make them produce wonderful riches is more than the average elderly
man under sta nds.
Young men have gone West with absolutely nothing but their clothes and a big appetite and in five years
were buying pianos and touring cars.
If You Are Interested in Bettering Your Condition
Attend the Western Land-Products Exhibit
at Omaha, January 18 to 28n 1911
It will show you how you can get good land in the West and there will be men who will be anxious and
capable of giving you all the information you could possibly ask.
Here Are a Few Facts
The Boise Commercial Club recently made inquiries among farmers and fruit growers concerning their
most successful crops. Here are two of the replies: .
Gentlemen: Replying to your inquiry concerning my prune
crop for the season of 1905 and 1906,. would say that I bought
80 acres of land 4 miles from Boise in 1893, paying therefor
$30.00 per. acre. I set 40 acres of the same to prunes. Our
1905 crop grossed us $7,712.33, and the 1906 crop grossed
us 7,529.93. Yours truly,
A. V. EIQIELBERGER.
Gentlemen: Replying to your inquiry concerning my most
successful crop, and original cost of land, would say that I bought
10 acres one and one-half miles from Boise in 1900, paying there
for $50.00 per acre. In 1906 I raised 20,000 boxes of strawberries
on 3 acres of ground which I sold at an average price of 8 cents
per box or about $535 per acre.
Believing this covers the point on which you desired infor
mation, I remain, Yours truly,
S. F. RUSSELL,
The Omaha Bee and
The Twentieth Century Farmer
wi?h to convince the people about the wondeiful possibilities of the West, and they arc backing up the Western
Land-Products Exhibit because they realize that an exhibit of this kind will show people more of the real truth about
this wonderful section than any amount of pure talk; and their real interest in the upbuilding of this empire is due
to the fact that they realize that it is upn the West that Omaha must depend for its future progress and greatness.
