PROFITABLE POLK COUNTY LAND
Rental From Cotton Crop Amounted to
Nearly $40 Per Acre.

w. P. Mulliken, who has for sever
al years lived in Mena, owns farm
few miles east of town that he has
offered to sell at $40 per acre. This
year a cotton crop was planted on a
portion of it and Mr.. Mulliken's one
forth brought him very close to the
$40 he had asked for the land. He
states that in Iowa, where land sell
at from 500 to 5000 per acre, it is
hard to get as much as $40 per acre
rental, which makes Polk county
soil look good to him.
