try" Of a large amount Of potatoes for that
market and corn for St. Louis, and signif-
can,ly adds, that "the amount Of corn and
potatoes coming out of the upper country
is almost incredib!c.' The Missouri Valley
iscapab!e of furnishing an incredible amount
Of provender for the ''rest of mankind"
and our present exports are nothing COM
pared to what they will be in years hence. The
people of the Slope have forswore trading
in corner-lots and jack-knives, and turned
their attention to cultivating our fertile soil,
and you may presently have realizing sense
Of what we are capable, in the way of farm
ins. The effects of the late panic will soon
be manifest in the valley Of the Missouri,
in q decreased importation, and largely
increased expectation Of breadstufs. Our
latent energy is thoroughly aroused, and
the heretofore sadly neglected garden spot
Of the world, will soon be made to .'bloom
