I have for sale one of the best improved sections (640 aereo)
in the Panhandle of Texas, situated three railes east from Here-
ford, the county seat of Deaf Smith County. Thia section is in
the valley of the Tierra Blanco river, which intersects it, and
contains over 275 acres which will grow alfalfa profitably with-
out irrigation, making it the best dividend paying section of
land in the Panhandle. There are 55 acres in alfalfa at the
present time, which will cut three crops each year. For the
past nine years an average of 100 tons of valley hay has been
cut from this land yearly, which readily sells at $10 per toa,
.. .Improvements...

$¿500 8-rooin residence, modern $300 2-story barn —26x46 feet
