a
A Quarter Section Golden Prairie Farm and a Crop Payment Contract
In the fall of 1910, Roy Swanson, a young man living near Funk, Phelps county,
Nebraska, Came to look at the Golden Prairie District of Wyoming. Some of his
friends had settled in the district and had written encouraging reports, so he do
cided to see for himself.
like most young men starting out in life, Mr. Swanson 's means were limited, and
he wisely determined to make his dollars go as far as possible. He asked about our
crop payment plan, and we explained its provisions to him with the result that ho
purchased the Sautheast Quarter of Section 1, in Township 12, Range 62, 5 miles
east of the town of Carpenter. The land was smooth, rich prairie. The price was
$17.50 per acre, or $2,800.00 for the quarter section, and Mr. Swanson bought on the
crop payment plan, paying down one fifth the crop raised each year to be credited
at market price to pay both interest (at 6 per cent) and principal until the land
should be paid for.
Under the regular terms of our contract he would have been required to put 40
acres in crop in 1910, and an additional 40 acres' in 1911, and 80 acres each year
thereafter until the land is paid for, but he stated that if we would release him from
putting in the 40 acres in the spring 1911 he would break out 80 acres that summer
and seed it all to winter wheat. We consented to this and in this ad we reproduce a
photograph taken of this 80-acre field of Turkey Red Winter Wheat, raised this
season on sod breaking on this farm by this plucky young Xebraskan who saw the
virtue of Golden Prairie land and had the grit to back his judgment. As this is
written the crop has not been threshed, but it has been estimated by those competent
to judge that the yield will be from 25 to 30 bushels per acre.
Hon. George Harcourt, Deputy Minister of Agriculture of Canada, viewed this
field just as the grain was turning yellow and pronounced it a marvelous sight.
He has just returned home from visiting the United States in the interest of the In
ternational Dry Farming Congress, and the day he spent in the Golden Prairie Dis
trict with Prof. Knight of the Wyoming State University, and Prof. Watson, State
Director of Farming, was a revelation to the distinguished visitor.
What Roy Swanson has done you may do. His is not an isolated example. There
are hundreds of others in the fertile Golden Prairie District whose experience will
duplicate his. Neither this ad nor all the pages of this whole paper would suffice
to tell the stories of men who five, four, yes three years ago were farm hands in
Nebraska and other central states, or renters barely making a living on high priced
farms, who are now owners in the Golden Prairie District. And there is still room
here for hundreds more. Will you be one of them? That is the question for you
to decide now.
The Golden Prairie is Not an Experiment. It is a proven producer. One of
the leading national banks of Gieyenne is owned by men who 25 or 30 year ago were
cow boys and who have accumulated one hundred thousand to a quarter of a mil
lion dollars each by raising cattle and other live stock on these grass covered prai
ries, and while they were doing this, a little colony off at the edge of the district, 20
miles from the railroad and known as the Swedish settlement demonstrated that
grain crops could be grown here successfully every year.

LOAD OF CLOTHES TOO
HEAVY-HE LOSES RACE
Walking into the Nebraska Clothing
store at Fifteenth and Farnam streeti
Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, James
Murphy gathered up several suite of
clothes in his arms and started down
Farnam street on high speed. He wan
overtaken ' by a half dozen clerks, who
had given pursuit. Murphy drew forty
five days In the county Jail in police
court.
To haul a heavy load up a steep grade is a
strain on your motive power, whether animal or
mechanical.
Good draft horses cost from $200.00 upward,
and motor truck repairs are not made free.
If youcan haul your heavy loads DOWN
hill or along easy grades, why take chances of
.losing money? FVeight rates via the Chicago
Great Western are the same as via any other
line and the service is better. Our facilities for
handling freight in Omaha are the best and the
location of our freight terminals and team tracks
the most advantageous to you.
The profit in many a business comes from the
saving in the cost of production,, therefore, if you
can carry twice as great a load down hill as up
hill and in less time, does it not represent to you
a saving of over 50 in your cost of transfer
from the freight depot to your warehouse I
The Chicago Great Western freight terminals
and team tracks are located at 1.6th and Marcy
Streets, just south of Leavenworth. From our
freight depot it is down grade to all the main
business portion of Omaha. You can load your
wagon to full capacity, you won't overtax your
horses or motor, and the trip can be made in half
the time.
The next time you order a consignment from
Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Dubuque, Water
loo, Mason City, Ft. Dodge, or from any other
point east or north, specify routing via the
Chicago Great Western.
Think it over carefully and let us help you
solve your transportation problems. We'll be
glad to be of service to you.
