THIS IS NOT SO BAD, EITHER.

Kentland Enterprise: Angus Washburn made a land deal Monday, disposing of his half section farm near Atkinson, in Benton county, for $125.00 an acre. Mr. Washburn bought the farm ten years ago for $56.00, and has in the meantime received over $20,000 in rent from the place, and sells at a profit of $22,038- Benton county land, even with all the boasting that it is the best farming land in the United States, has not reached the price of land in Jefferson township.
