MARSH LANDS DRAINED.

READY FOR THE PLOW. I am prepared to sell the richest soil in the United States, drained, Irrigated and ready for the plow, in tracts to suit the purchaser, at an exceedingly low price. The title is perfect, the drainage system adequate, and if irrigation is desired, it is inexpensive. Not a dollar need he paid to us until the land is ready for occupancy. Liberal terms of payment can be arranged. The land is situated forty-five miles west of the City of New Orleans on the Southern Pacific Railroad, in a community of Northern farmers, and is suitable for the cultivation of any crop raised In the South. For centuries this land has been known as Marsh Land and the drainage of It was considered a very difllcult problem. B?it the Government dam recently constructed at the source of the Bayou La Fourche, has reduced the flow of water in the Bayou to a point which has made the drainage of the land a very simple problem. For over rixty years, land in this immediate vicinity has been in a high state of cultivation. Fine roads are maintained and the residents have all the advantages of the old and more thickly settled portions of the country. There is no better soil in the United States for the cultivation of corn, rice, cotton, sugar cane, alfalfa, onions, potatoes and garden vegetables. I am selling this land, drained ready for the plow, with facilities for irrigation if desired. No better investment than fertile, productive real estate can be found. The low price asked for this land, gives the purchaser an opportunity of making an immediate profit on his investment. It gives him the opportunity of securing a desirable home and at the same time an Investment which will Increase in value tenfold within five years. For maps and terms, address
