COAST CLIMATF! Yearly Health Resorts within 20 miles Northern settlement—one town call ed Iowa. Profits from rice growing are some thing enormous—Capital is being at tracted as never before. The govern ment is calling attention to the young men of the wonderful advantages in the southern country. The price of land is advancing rapidly. Irrigated lands are a proven suc cess—the price in Colorado and Texas is high while in Louslana the agents commission is not as great as farther west and the lands have not been pushed as hard. Some real snaps re main. Let me show you a few. While south in November I found it would be necessary for me to return in Feb. tor a short trip and it was sug gested that if I would advertise the wonderful opportunities I might be able to take with me on this trip some who are interested and thereby aid in building up our particular section of country and thus increase the value of my own holdings. There is but little waste land. Have listed nothing but proven rice land and ten out of eleven pieces listed with me grew rice last year. This is how all pieces were listed— By request from me—while in Kin der, La—where my .rice plantation is located—a meeting was held in the office of the principal physician— There were present, besides myself and the physician, the mayor, post master, and master of the Masonic lodge—and it was agreed that these men would be on the lookout for lands for sale where the price was right and the lands were proven rice lands and where everything was in readiness for a crop next year—My part if the pro gram was to interest my friends and bring as many sight-seers and pros pective buyers with me in Feb. as I could—If you buy—all right— you will be enthusiastic when you get your harvest—if you go to see the country —all right—you will get your moneys worth and will tell your friends and the result will eventually be the same. There is money In these lands and some one will see it Get in now before too many are ahead of you and you have to pay Colorado prices for ir rigated lands. I have listed just eleven tracts—all are guaranteed to be worth the price asked and are considered snaps by men in the territory. Write me if interested and I will be glad to. give you all the information 1 have. Tho trip will be very interesting and will be pleasant. No zero weather there. There will he but this one trip made under my supervision as I have to make my living and fcuough more to pay my way soutlr as I am putting all surplus into these propositions. Have grown four crops and made from four teen to twenty-one per cent net each year—do you wonder that I am eager to show you this country. Write me for information. Wo ?o Feb. 2 join us. W, E.
