Track of 64 Acres of Which This Is
Pa'rt, Sold 10, Years Ago for
$3000; Now IVorth $50,000.
C. C. Hall yestJnhiy sold his nine
acre apple unil K)or orchard to H. A.
Latta of Two Jtucrs, Mich., for
$10,0111). The orchard is just coming
into hearing. It is situated north
and east of Cent nil Point and is near
the celebrated iferritt apple orchard.
This land is part of a 64 acre tract
which William Holmes of Medford
purchased in 1010 for $3000. Later
Mr. Homes Hold one ncre of the land
upon which the buildings stood and
five acres of implanted land to Mr.
Hall for $800.
He also sold later to Mr. Hall un
der contract, nuother five-acre tract,
of the same land, but this Mr. Hall
afterwnrds traded buck to Mr.
Holmes receiving iu payment one
work horse. This tract today could
imsily liu sold for over $o000. Mr.
Holmes does not state what he re
ceived ror the r&tjwiuder ,,f i,;s 04.
acre tract whcnMie disposed of it,
but that is material in. so fnr ns this
story goes. The fact, however, with
regard -to i.ti-pr3Ct i;lu"5.,jjiny- be.
tirieny Pinned up when it is told that
three months ago the oil acres were
sold hy E. F. Guthere to Guv V
Chaffee of Grand Rapids, Mich., for
3'J,f00. and tliu recent purchaser
would not take $40,000 for it at this
time.
Hy putting forth n little energy in
addition almost anyone will he able
to figure on that a 154 acre tract of
land which 10 years ago had a vniue
of $3000 is now worth very nearlv
$f)0,000.
Good authority upon fruit produc
