of the same kind and pay $5.00 to $10.00 per 

 acre. * * * It is true that the Michigan 

 Central Park Company are selling these lands 

 very cheap to settle the country, and in so 

 doing make a profit. * * * There has been 

 more land sold in Roscommon and Crawford 

 counties in the past seven years to active 

 farmers than in all of the rest of the State 

 together. About 40,000 people bought lands 

 and lots around Higgins lake. * * * We 

 do not think there is an acre of State land for 

 sale in Roscommon or Crawford counties to- 

 day. If there is, the Michigan Central Park 

 Company would be willing to pay $5.00 to 

 $10-00 for the same, and more if they are 

 worth it. * * *

Roscommon county will grow more and bet- 

 ter wheat, oats, rye, speltz, timothy hay, clover 

 seed, beans, field peas, potatoes, cabbages, 

 sugar beets, turnips and rutabages to the 

 acre than any other county in the State, or in 

 Illinois, Indiana or Ohio. * * * 



Our land will pay*double the value per acre 

 that the average high priced land of Illinois, 

 Indiana and Ohio does. And yet such land 

 can be bought for $6.00 an acre up. Land 

 upon which, the third year it is under cultiva- 

 tion, a clover seed crop will yield from $75 to 

 $100 per acre.

The above needs no comment. The State
