Decatur County Journal Leon, Iowa Thursday, March 25, 1920 (This is a very interesting land advertisement. Nancee) 'WANTED' to get in touch with every farmer in this community who has recently sold his farm or who is thinking of buying or locating on a farm. We want to write you particulars of the GREAT WESTERN LAND BOOM which is just starting in the Black Hills -- which is considered the richest hundred miles square on earth. Land can be purchased from $7 per acre up. A big profit can be made by investing in this land which is mostly all improved, including land of all descriptions, as follows: Farm land, Irrigated land, Grazing land, Dairy farms, Ranch land, Alfalfa land and land with prospects of oil (wells being drilled at present.) Great wealth has already been produced in this territory and more is yet to come from its rich, productive soil. Black Hills land is selling for one-fiftieth to one-tenth as much as over-crowded eastern farm lands and this land produces crops of better yield and market value. No where close can farming be made to show as high a profit per acre. On these low-cost lands, all crops grow bounteously. The Bell Fourche Valley exceeds even the history-famed Nile Valley in the fertility of its rich, black soil. A single crop has frequently paid the entire purchase cost of these lands. All the advantages that you enjoy in your present locality are offered you here, with other opportunities vastly greater. Any farmer can easily make a lot of money from wheat in 1920. South American crops can't be shipped on account of lack of boats. Russian fields are unplanted while Australian crops are killed by drouth; and less than one-half the usual acreage is planted in the U.S. Spring wheat recently sold for $3 in Minneapolis. These facts insure wheat being higher than ever before (in 1920, $3 to $3.50 certain.) Come now and look these lands over in time to get in a spring wheat crop. We will meet you at the train and take you over these lands free of charge. Write now for complete information. Every fact will be placed before you -- every question answered without cost or obligation. Fill out the attached coupon and mail today. THE GREAT WESTERN LAND BUREAU, Bell Fourche, So.
