glance ct the map viii show the importance Of this
route both for Kansas and Missouri. IL is a link IN
the chain OF railroads which will bind the East with
the West. II Will open up Nes-Mcxlco and Western
Kansas aid developing their Resources and IN peo-
ping them with the right population. The immense
carving trade of Santa Fe must ultimately lind start
ing-oint in Kansasin all probability at the present
", stern terminus Of this road il will save over
hundred miles 1T travel and the trains VIII be enabled
to make two trips year instead OF one, as Is now
the case.
Crops in all this section have been very good. Corn
On old ground is extremely heavy, yielding 70 bushels
per acre and that the sod will yield " bushels.
The past season has shown that Kansas Is admirably
ADAPTED to wheat groslng, and but tor the heavy
rains which induced rust, that crop wonli have
shown s importance. All root crops are extremely
prolific potatoes yielding from 20 u 10 bnshel.

MANY mills have been built and strip of prime quality
manufactured. One man in Liam County has thirteen
acres which he Is engaged in turning INTO sorgho
sirup. Each acre averages him I'D gallons which
will make about 500 gallons Tor the whole lie hnis
ready sale at 90 cents per gallon TINS VIII make the
net return $3.50, which, allowing one-ha tor expense

So This was fitted To horsepower, AMI with the
pans Sc. may bring the cost up to about $50 for
the whole apparatus. This is liberal estimate. One
farmer who had an acre OF cane, built mill WITH
wooden cyDderS, which, though they do not express
! more than twuhrls ot the Juice, will rcturn him over
hundred per cent for the tine, money and labor ex-
pended. His whole apparatus and labor oi making
will rot cost him more tnan SO and he VIII have ut
least 50 gallons Of strip much superior To the COM
mon moasses for which he has to pay from 60 to 10
cents per gallon. This crop is entire success, and
the resuIt Of this will be the erection next year
of good mills for the manufacture OF both sugar and
strip. IL will bring about complete revolution In
regard to the sugar.tradc of the South and
people will be able to entirely the FreeLabor pro-
duet instead OF that grown by Slave-Labor.
The postponement of the land sales till July next
hes greatly relieved settlers, and all persons feel
that great misfortune has been postponed. II the
next esson of Congress grant any land for railroad
purposes the day OF sale will be further postponed 10
allow of the selecting of the land granted. This will
tske several months 80 that by chance can the sale
cone of as early as July next The policy OF all our
National Admin strations has indeed been miserable
piece of botc-wok with regard to the public lands.
Give two years before the sale and we win show
extent of country for two hundred miles, dcnsey
populated that but small proportion will pass into
The hands Of spectators. But go yernmens, states
