just returned from q tour through Buchanan,
Blackhawk, Bremen, Butler and Floyd coun-
ties. Informs us that the prospects for large
crops in those localities were never better
than now. He expected to find farms
uncultivated for want Of hands, bur he saw
no such thing. Every improved piece Of
land is being titled. He observed scores Of
women and girls hard at work at all kinds Of
farm labor. To satisfy his curiosity. he
stopped at one place, where girls were hoeing
corn, to see if they were Americans. He
found they were, and were we'll educated and
refined. Their brothers were in the army,
they said, and their father not being able to
obtain help at any price, they had taken hold
themselves. He found the farmers every
where cheerful and we'll pleased at the
appearance of the crops.
A greater breadth Of land is sown with
grain in those sections than ever before The
farmers he talked with all said that If it were
not for help from women, they would not
have been able to accomplish half Of what
has been done. God bless our farmers
