•I The irrigated lands in Montana, 

 Idaho, Washington and Oregon, 

 reached by the Northern Pacific, 

 offer the most profitable farming 

 and fruit-growing opportunities to 

 be found anywhere in the United 

 States. 



•I Apples, pears and peaches realize 

 $500 to $1000 per acre per year ; berries 

 and grapes $300 to $500 per acre; pota- 

 toes $J50 to $250 per acre. You have 

 a good income from pleasurable work. 

 •J And it gives you out-door life — 

 contentment — health. It makes you 

 one of the Nation's Providers, with a 

 demand and a ready market for all 

 you can supply. 



•J Non-irrigated and ** dry-farming ** 

 land, available at much lower 

 prices, afford great returns from 

 grain, grasses, alfalfa and 

 forage crops.

•J Cattle raising and dairying are ex- 

 ceedingly profitable pursuits. A cer- 

 tain man raising chickens on five 

 acres averages $2,300 per year. 

 <]J The prize-winning fruits nowadays 

 almost invariably come from orchards 

 in the Northwest. An Idaho man gave 

 his family a vacation at the seashore on 

 the season's proceeds from tt peach trees! 

 fflThe climate and the soil are great 

 factors in the popularity of this coun- 

 try. People are constantly buying 

 Northwestern lands. 

 ^ The Northern Pacific extends into or 

 through Minnesota, Wisconsin, North 

 Dakota, Montana, Idaho,Washin gton, 

 Oregon. New rich territory is being 

 opened up by extensions now building.

 and about the low one-way colonist fares.
