Sheridan County, located in the northwestern
part of the state, is devoted entirely to the raising
of stock and farming, the C. and N. W. R. E.
passing through the northern part of the county
- and the C, B. & Q. R. R. passing through the south
ern part. ,
Sheridan county has 960,738 acres in farms; of
these acres 124,045 acres 'are cultivated, 137,016
' acres of improved land with improvements valued
at $158,047, unimproved land 1,270,664 acres.
- Many : acres of this unimproved land is land
that is owned- by ranchers or men who do not care
to farm Hs-. This land is of the very best farm land
in this county and is offered to the man that
wants to make a home for himself. .This, land can
be purchased in tracts to suit the purchaser, giving
him as much as he wants, for farming and pasture.
It all lays level to gently rolling, with very good
graded Deads to town. "
-We are giving you a few of the facts about
Sheridan county that will be Worthy of due con
sideration on your part in making a choice for a
hjprae. Eighty-seven ter cent of our farms "are
occupied by the owners; a new $40,000 court
house, paid for; $125,000 treasury surplus drawing
interest; our taxes are are the lowest of any coun
ty in Nebraska. .
We "have the best roads no sand, and mare
automobiles per -capita than any county in Ne
braska. We have more money on deposit in Sheri
dan county banks for every man, woman and child'
than any other county in Nebraska.
Only 13 per cent of our best Agriculture land
is under cultivation; that is why we want-ou to
come and see us and live with us.
Sheridan county haij,. the best schools; Hay
Springs has Normal Training higTi schools.
- Our best paying crops are Alfalfa, Command
logs; hog cholera is practically unknown in this
county. We put our hogs on the railroad at a cost
of less than 2 cents per lb. Many of us -ship
from 1 to 10 cars every year. Potatoes are a very
good crop here; we'are the second county ih the
state jn pud production. The figures appearing
are compiled from the report of the Nebraska
State Board of Agriculture and the Sheridan Cpun
ty Farm Demonstrator's records. They will stand
the strongest investigation remember that we do
not , claim to produce the most per acre of any
county, but wi do claim to produce the most per
acre in proportion to the price of land. Think it
over.
Fridayand Saturday were perhaps the'tw)
busiest potato days of the season. On Friday
all cars on track were filled and only the Ne
braska Potato company's warehouse would hold
more. At this place the unloading continued in
to the nighty andstill a dozen or more loads
were left oVer for Saturday morning. During
thejiight,, however, more cars' arfived and the
loading of wagons began early Saturday morn
ing. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were
equally busy days and there were from 20 to 30
loads waiting all day for their turn to unload
Today there has been shipped from Hay Springs
130 cars of potatoes and the end is not near in
sight.- Buyers are paying from $1.40 to $1.60
per hundred. ' ' - r '
