The Ideal Home Country 



lies in the wide territory traversed by trie Southern Ry. Sys- 

 tem. From the high lands of the Appalachians, with their 

 dry, healthful climate, to the Piedmont section, with its heavy 

 yielding lands, on to the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, where 

 every crop thrives — somewhere in this broad territory you con 

 find a place just suited to your needs and means. 



Land prices range from $15 to $50 per acre. 



The first year's crop often more than returns the purchase 

 price. 



All grasses, grains, fruits and vegetables known to the 

 temperate zone thrive in the Southeast. Alfalfa grows 

 nearly everywhere — 4 to 6 tons per acre not uncommon — 

 $1 5 to $22 per ton paid locally. Apple orchards net $100 

 to $500 an acre. Truck gardening yields $200 to $400 per 

 acre — everything else in proportion. 



The Southeast is the farmer's paradise. 



We have booklets giving full information of conditions 

 in each Southeastern State. Address
