VISITORS PRONOUNCE BLUE.
GRASS A BEAUTY SPOT.

There is an old saying that one
acre of land is worth as much as an
other. This is hard to believe upon
first thought, but it may be true
The, sale price of land at any time is
not true indication of its real val
ue. The fertile dark lands in the
Corn Belt of Illinois and Iowa have
long sold for $500 per acre, but be-
meath what was once considered the
poorest land in Illinois have been
found deposits Of coal worth many
thousands Of dollars per acre.
The black waxy lands of Texas
reached 500 per acre while the salt
domes On the gulf coast were still
considered worthless wastes. No one
dreamed then, what all know now,
that these salt domes concealed the
greatst oil pool in the world.
The cunning white man picked out
the best looking lands of Oklahoma
for himself, forcing poor Lo" to
take the "leavings," little dreaming
that he was making millionaires of
whole Redskin tribes.
Visitors coming from the North and
East have looked upon the Blue
Grass region of Kentucky and pro-
nounced it the supreme beauty spot
of the world. Because of their pro-
ductivity and attractiveness, lands
around Lexington, Paris, Winchester,
Versailles and smaller towns, have
mounted in price to 500, 5000, $500,
$500, $500 per acre.
1t would have been impossible
few years ago, and is not easy now
to cinvince the average man that an
acre of Kentucky mountain land is
worth as much as an acre of Blue
Grass soil. Few would believe that
the sand cliffs and rugged mountain
gorges of Estill, Lee and Breathitt
were worth as much as the fields of
waving blue grass in Fayette or
Bourbon. But the discovery of oil
and coal has wrought a wonderful
transformation and many mountain
acres that sold few years ago for
SIS and $40 are bringing $1,000 now
for the oil lease only. The flow of
liquid gold from the sand domes of
Eestern Kentucky has enabled many |
a land-poor mountaineer to leave his |
rock-ribbed mountain farm and take |
up his abode on a Blue Grass farm.
