Speaking Of harness races, il must
be confessed that the entire regulation
OF the harness turf IS in many ways
years behind the running turf. One OF
the inconvenience at harness races Is
the difficulty in telling what IS going

RENT PAYS FOR LAND
FERTILE SECTIONS OF THE SOUTHWEST,
WHERE LAND SELLS FOR SIS AND
RENTS FOR SIS PER ACRE.

One of the most remarkable things
about Eastern Arkansas and Northern
Louisiana Is the fact that cleared land
rents for $5 per acre cash, and can be
bought for $3.50 to SIS per acre. 1t
costs from So to $40 an acre to clear it.
Other improvements necessary are
slight and inexpensive.
The soil is rich alluvial, or made.
1t produces bale of cotton per acre,
worth S45 TO $50 This accounts for
its high rental value. Other crops,
such as corn. small grains, grasses,
vegetables and fruits thrive as well.
Alfalfa yields to 8 cuttings, ton
to cutting, and brings $40 to S16 per
ton.
In other sections of these States,
and In Texas as we'll, the rolling or
hill-land is especially adapted to stock
raising and fruit growing. Land is
very cheap, IS to $40 per acre; improv-
ed farms $40, S15 to $25 per acre.
The new White River country offers
many opportunities for settlers. High
rolling, fine water--it Is naturally
adapted to stock and fruit raising.
Can be bought as low as SO per acre.
