now farms are selling every day at an
advance In prices every time. You go
south of Cove Is miles and one acre of
blackberries viii bring two to three
hundrd dllars; one acre OF cucum-
bers will bring $3.50, and one acre of
tomatoes will bring $500, and with all
truck It Is big money all the time. The
land around Cove they tell us is just
as good as the land south of as. Then
if that is true, our land is worth 800
and $500 per acre. Now IL you buy
our land for S25 to $50 you surely will
double in less than year. Why not
buy land close to Cove, raise berries
and all kinds of truck? Yes, Polk
county is full of mineral and gas and
oil. And In due time old Polk county
will be full of capital, as well as being
developed. Being great fruit country
there will be house on every 40 acres
all over the county, all selling STUFF
and making money. On last Saturday
the Fruit Growers Association con-
tracted for nearly so acres of black
berries in less than 80 minutes. Now
watch Cova grow and evervhOdv sub-
