A WESTERN FARMER-A friend from In
diana, informs that he met Michael L Sulii-
want. who sold his land on the Scioto, last
year, on his way to his new home in Illinois
with force of 100 men and teams and tools,
sufficient TO put in TEN THOUSAND acres of
corn this spring. 1t will be remembered that
Mr.. Sullivant was one of the largest farmers
in the Stale of Ohio for many years. We
have heard that he could ride in direct course
fifteen miles through his own corn fields. We
hope he will be equally successful in Illinois
The reason he gave for moving was that he
wanted more room to expand his operations,
and he found the Grand Prairie Just suited
to his notions of farming on a magnificent
scale
