Suppose the price to be $100 peracre, which would be cheap enough forsuch land, or $5000 for 50 acres. Anycorn man would jump at such a chance. This income of $1200 is the veryhighest that could possibly be ex-pected. It is several shades above theaverage, especially when consideringoccasional poor crops, freight charges,etc. And yet, even considering thesethings, this corn land is among thebest land in the world and millions ofdollars are made on It every year.
