TO THE SOUTH 



To Buy Railroad Lands 



we are going, c ay the drought-stricken, frozen farmers of the 

 North and West 



"We are going to the YAZOO VALLEY of MISSISSIPPI, 

 where the black, rich soil is twenty feet deep, needs no irrigation 

 and crops are growing continuously all the year round." 



Irrigation will redeem the arid lands of the great American 

 deserts of the West, but in the YAZOO VALLEY of MISSIS- 

 SI PPI you will not have to irrigate the lands, for the climate and 

 soil a.e so excellent, thst it makes no difference whether i he- 

 season is dry or not; you simply drop the seed in the prep;m-d 

 ground and the crops will grow luxuriantly and produce inot 

 abundantly. Listen, while we tell you what will grow there with 

 such fabulous results that we hesitate to tell of them 



COTTON, RICE and SUGAR CANE, the chief product- ol 

 the South; GKASSPS, CLOVER, OATS, WHEAT and CORN 

 the chief products of the North. 



HEMP. 15 to 20 leet high, JUTE and other fibrous plants, 

 also BROOM CORN. 



EARLY POTATOES and EARLY VEGETABLES for the 

 earlv markets of Chicago and elsewhere. 



PEACHES, FIGS and other fruits that will rival those ol 

 California in size, and far surpass them in flavor. 



The YAZOO VALLEY is already irrigated with streams, 

 lakes and rivers, and you do not have to pay for the water, for it 

 always rains just at the right time and just enough for your needs. 



61)0.000 acres of ihe=e lands are owned by the YAZOO & 

 MISSISSIPPI VALLEY RAILROAD COMPANY.
