 The highest priced farm lands in this country are found in the corn growing sections of Pennsylvania, lands yielding from $ to 100 bushels per acre In the states of Ohio and Indiana good corn pro- ducing lands are valued rom SIoo to SI5o per acre In the states of Illinois and Iowa the prices range ,, from $I5o to S25o per acre and there are few farms for sale. In the states of Missouri and east Kansas about SIoo per acre, and in Kentucky and middle Tennessee from $Ioo 10 SI5o per acre are the average prices.
 Here in the state of Arkansas your land will yield as great re turn. You can plant your corn for six months and mature 1t; you can produce two crops per aflnum Your lands can be bought from S25 to S6o per acre You can pro duce more diversified crops than auy state in the union. A young man in Faulkner county near Con- way, under the instruction of Prof. | l. E. Rogers, has produced this year So bushels of corn per acre. Prof Brumheld, located at Clarks dale. Miss, has produced I5oo bushels on I2 acres of ground this season. w. l. Jeffcies, bunker at Clarendon, Ark, has produced 90 bushels on an acre this season. MT.

 The largest corn farm in the world is owned and operated by David Rankin of Tarkio, Mo. He i has 22, ,ooo acres and produces one million bushels Of corn per annum. He does not sell an ear of his corn; it is all fed to stock. When he married he had $, which he gave to the preacher Now, young man, don't say again that you are not able to marry, go to growing corn and get married. Mir, Ran kin's capital was his hands and brain. He has accumulated a fortune of s 500 ,ooo from growing corn and has given S2oo, 900 to the college of Tafkio The opportun- ity for,ss money making from corn growing is much greater than when MT. Rankin made his money. He often sold corn as low as 25 cents per bushel and so cents was big price. We will never see corn less than 50 cents and often times greater; cheap food and cheap feed we will never see again.
