SUGAR BEET 



AND 



POTATO LAND 



[ , WHERE; ALFALFAJGROWS. ' 



I have 16,000 acres of sugar beets and potato land in the Big 

 Horn Valley of Wyoming, for sale on easy terms at prices ranging 

 from $45.00 to $60.00 per acre. The terms are $8.00 per acre cash 

 and the balance in nine equal annual installments. Raw land pro- 

 duces an average of .fifteen tons of sugar beets per acre, carrying an 

 average of eighteen and one-half per cent sugar. It is a desert 

 country, -thoroughly irrigated by completed ditches, and the. farmer has 

 absolute control of his moisture. Alfalfa land will produce an average 

 of twenty-five tons of sugar beets to the acre when properly irrigated. 

 Worland is the principal town on the Hanover' Canal Company's lands. 

 Not an acre of this land is over three miles from the railroad, and 

 every acre of it is within five miles of a side-track or a shipping 

 point. The sugar factory at Billings, Montana, is paying $4.50 per 

 ton net for sugar beets delivered at Worland. The sugar company pays 

 the freight. We are promised a factory when we have 6,000 acres in 

 beets and the people to tend them. COME OUT AND SEE THE 

 LAND. 



This valley is also a fine potato country and produces big potatoes 

 that are solid. The average crop is from 300 to 400 bushels per acre. 

 The biggest crop I have ever seen in this valley was 800 bushels per 

 acre. I have a pamphlet which I would like to send you. It has been 

 carefully prepared and describes the country and its products accu- 

 rately. Send for it and I will mail it to you promptly. Cheap rates 

 will be made on the 8th and 20th of October, and on the 3d and 17th 

 of November.
