HARVESTING APPLES IN AN IDAHO ORCHARD. 



low average. In other words, an acre in Idaho zvill produce four times as 

 much wheat as an acre in the Central West. Here is the second tremendous 

 advantage of the new country over the old. The third advantage will be 

 found by a study of land values. The Central West can hardly expect 

 to grow much in the next ten years. Land values will not rise appreciably, 

 but Idaho is a very new State. Its growth must be certain and large. 

 Lands that can be bought to-day for $15 per acre will be worth four times 

 as much as they become improved and as the country grows. This is an 

 element always very influential with settlers. It is true that in Idaho the 

 settler must pay for water, but this cost is more than equalized by the fact 

 that he loses no time on account of rainy days, nor is his crop injured by 

 untimely storms. In the matter of climate Idaho has another advantage, 

 for statistics prove it to be the healthiest climate in the United States. 

 The undeveloped resources of Idaho are rich and varied and the home 

 market offered by growing towns, mining camps and other industrial cen- 

 ters is a very important point to be taken into consideration.
