Loomis Marvels at Cheapness of Nebraska Lands Oeneral Solicitor Loomls of the I'nlon Pacific Is back from an extended trip up the North Platte valley, having gone as far as Northport. He returns more enthusiastic than ever over Nebraska and Its future. 'The North Tlatte vafVy Is a garden this year," said Mr. Loomls. "The crops have been exceptionally good and the farmers, nearly all of whom are pros perous, are in better shape than ever be fore. The small grain crop Is the best In the history of this section of the state, and while not much corn Is raised, that grown this year Is good. 'The Irrigated lands have yielded abundantly and very good crops have been raised where dry farming haa been carried on. It Is urprls1ng how cheap lands are when you take Into consider ation the amount of crop that can be raised. Irrigated land with water right land can be bought for around STB to $100 per acre, and It Is Just ss good and as productive as land of the same character that In Colorado and Idaho Is selling for $3"0 to ITiOO per acre. In4 that cannot be Irrigated, but which Is adapted to dry farming, and that year after year pro duces abundantly, can be bought for $15 to S2S per acre, and the wonder to me Is that It Is so cheap."
