Wild Iand in Arkausas can be bought from
theiUnited States Government at from Lax cts,

about one million acres Of Lind, which can be
bought at from 50 to Is cents per acre and
there are Thousands Of acres Of Improved
Lands In high state Of cultivation which can
be bought ut from $500, 10 5000, equal to
the best cotton, tobacco and corn land in the
world.
The raising OF cotton for the next two Of
three years will he better than gold mining
or any other mining, and those who hare
the energy and enterprise will realize the pro-.
fits and bcneats; this Is not the Burmise OF q
mere visionary, but the observations Of
practical man. The beat Akansas River cot
ton lands will produce from a bale to two
bales per acre. One hand can cultivate Is
acres In cotton say this will yield 20 bales at
600 lbs- to tho bale, worth not less than 80
cts. per lb. This will gire as the yield from
the labor Of one farm hand the enormous re-
tu1u of 8, 600 per anuun. The best time to
plant Is from the 18th Of April to the 10th Of
MAY. The crop is not ditilcult one to cul-
tiratc, and there are In every neighborhood
plenty Of well posted farmers, ready and
willing to impatt all needial information.
