told you what Judge Cato (JudSe of the Terri
tory says of that fertile region. In his letter
of November last he says, "corn is plenty al
twenty-five cents per bushel. This is as fine Q
country rs any on earth, The profits on It's pro.
duction far exceed that in the cotton reg ious
All grain, grass, clover and hemp. give large re.
turns-at least from thirty TO forty dollars per
acre annually. i have seen no poor. land it all

and most Of it is just like adjoining Missouri
lands that now sell ut twenty to fifty dollars per
acre. The estimated average of the corn is one
hundred bushels per acre, and six tons hemp
per hand, worth $40 per ton. | can give no
idea of the beauty and fertility Of the soil and
country; good wells can be obtained anywhere,
and running stream are frequent"
Dr. Walker, long resident of its borders,
and of high character and intelligence, says, as
lar as health, climate and profits Of labor is con-
cerhed, Kansas is better than any part Of the
Union. There is no country where man can
be more Independent. and make his bread and
meat with less capital than here ten or twelve
burrows will make Ten barrels of corn per acre.
One thousand pounds hemp per acre is Ia common
crop. There are swarms OF cattle and good
markets for everything"
Another distinguished resident of Western
Missouri. in his letter of 30h December to me
says, "Panters nre making twice the money
per hand that they are in any other part of the
Union One hand will raise five tons OF hemp
and this don't interfere with the corn, wheat and
oat crop; planters have no supplies TO purchase,
but everything to sell. A near neighber last year

averaged eight hundred and thirty.six dollars

three hundred dollars per annum-nechanics
