Perfect Contentment for These Girls on This Empire State Farm

Another letter from an American farmer who recently came to the Empire State from the West states that he does not know of "any place where one can buy as beautiful a home as in New York." Similar expressions and experiences could be multiplied from extracts in the many letters on file in the Department. They all go to show that in the Empire State there await all the opportunities which the farmer may desire. Here are improvements, markets, schools, churches, neighbors - all those things that men want most when they establish themselves in a community. All are within easy reach of farms which may be procured at from $25 to $100 an acre, and which will produce as large crops as land in the West or South for sale at double the price of Empire State land.

"Hereafter, when a young man with a few hundred dollars asks me in what section he can engage in farming to the best advantage, I shall ask that he be directed to the possibilities existing throughout New York State."
