That large tract of land you want to
sell has been a burden to you. I de^
light in them. Large tracks are my
specialty. Write me about it today—
whether you wan't to buy or whether
you want to sell.
Panhandle Lands
are the best lands in the world and
doubtless I have just the bargain you
want. Lands in the shallow water
belt and lands out. Whatever your
need may be, write me about it.

' R. T. Mooney of Hereford, Tex.,
I predicts in the near future a great
change in the plains country. The
' soil is very rich and productive, and
. or
the climate is excellent, but the rain
fall is uneven, and not sufficient at
the growing MMon to insure crops
one year wfjfrfyiliar. "Now comes
the irrigatioMpfod in that part of
the state," he said. "We can get
an abundance of water at a shallow
depth, and with wind mills and other
apparatus, we can water the land
and then there will appear the green
spots everywhere, like the oasis in a
; desert. Grain crops of all kinds
, will be insured under irrigation, and
| feeds of all kinds for stock will be
j raised in abundance. The irrigation
; work is under way, and in several
places large tracts of land have been
made to produce immense crops in
this way. This means the produc-
tion of more feed and more live
stock."—Kansas City Drovers Tele-
gram.
