before told you what Juige Cato Judge Of
the Territory says of that fertile region.
| In his letter OF November last. he says
| :. Corn is plenty at twenty-five cents per
bushel. This is as fine a country as any
! Oil earth. the profits on its productions far
exceeds that of the cotton regions. All
grain, grass, clover ami hemp, give i:rg.
returns-at least from thirty to forty dol
lars per acre annually. | have seen no
poor land; it all seems richer than the best
Chattahoochee bottom. and most Of it is
just like adjoining Missouri lands that now
sell at twenty-five TO fifty dollars per acre.
The estimated average is one hundred
bushels per acre. and six tons hemp per
| ha nd worth $40 per ton. / can give no
idea of the beauty and fertility Of the soil
and country; good wells can be obtained

O Dr. Walker, long resident on its bor-
ders. and of high character and intelll-
gence, says AS lar as health. climate
and profits of labor is concerned. Kansas ;
is better ti'an any part of tue Union. There
| is no country where a uian can be more
independent, and make lis bread and meat
wila less capital than here; ten or twelve
burrows will make ten barrels OF corn per
acre One thousand pounds hemp per
acre IS common crop. There are swafns
of cattle and good markets for every
ts,ing'. ..s.a

tern Missouri, in MS letter to me Oh 30th
December last. says Planters are intk-

are in any other part Of the Union. One

In tine spring can find ready employment
at that price, and then they have otber ad

none, ,except that wien he goes TO Kansas,
the emigrant shall begin some honest EN-

his claim that will give aim credit to buy
