GROWTH and resources OF tho West,
Tho growth and resources OF the West, which
fo: the basie Of the prosperity Of our great rail-
1oade, are discussed in recent number OF Hunks
Hereh0nt's Magazine, which refers to the fact
that, although the advance Of California has a1ways
been considered unprecedented, her attractions
have not proved more seductive to enterpsising
settlers than the wealth Of our Western statcs.
Thus, in 1s50, the fame OF the gold State had at
tractcd to it sc,597 pcraous, snd Wisconsin then
numbered o6,o0o. In LEGO, California Ind gained
~, ,179, and Wisconsin 463,4s5. Taking all the
Western States together, they hsye increased IN
population, from 1850 to 1850, II per cont, while
the East fthat is tho New England States, with
New York, Pennsylvania, and New jersey have
only increased rs per cent.
The extent to which the speed On our rivers hiss
been increased, can be seen By the following table

THE CRoPs.-The hot weather ola few
days past, has made corn and other crops
look up with the brightest promises. We
notice potatoes in blossom, some of the ma
tive hay grasses are nearly in flower, and
perceive other evidence of a good season
for the farmers and their stock. As the
wheat crop has scarcely ever been troubled
by the chfnch bug or any other enemy in
this vicinity, it is promising good Weld
as usual. Strangers visiting Fort Dodge,
remark favorable contrast as to forward
ness of crops, compared with those along
the Mississippi. The main staple here in
the grain line is corn, and from present in
dications it will be ripe month before
frost comes.-F0rt Dodge Republican,.
