GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



15 



A Check for ^9,763.00 



Is What J. M. Grant 



A Big Horn Basin Farmer 



received for his 1910 sugar beet crop. This was Mr. Grant's 

 third crop of beets on a farm bought five years ago for $3000. 

 Here is where the Government is spending 



Six Million Dollars Irrigating 

 Farms That You Can Homestead 



The land is free for 5 years' residence and Government water 

 rights cost $46 an acre in 10 yearly payments. No interest. 



162 farms under Government irrigation averaged $26.80 per 

 acre yield in alfalfa in 1910. 



Here you can raise sugar beets, potatoes, alfalfa, oats, winter 

 wheat, barley, apples and all small fruits. 



OTHER MILLIONS are being spent to irrigate Carey Act Lands. Only 

 30 days' residence required. Easy payments. Low rate of interest. 



Dairying, poultry raising and bee keeping are profitable. 



Churches and schools have been established, and the country is being 

 settled by a fine class of people. New districts will soon be opened to entry. 



If you want one of these rich Gov- 

 ernment prizes, write me today.
