CT other crops for series of years:

The state is mainly settled from
Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania,
with large admixturc from New
England. About one fifth Of the en-
tire population come from foreign
countries, Germany largely prepon-
derating.
The first permanent settlement, in
what is now lows, was made i'm the
county of Lee, i'm the southeastern
part of the state, less than forty years
ago. The territory was detached
from the territory of Wisconsin in
1888 and was admitted into the Union
the twenty-ninth state, December %,
1916. The population i'm 1885 was
1851; in 1888, 22,s59; in. 1916, o.
SIS i'm 1856, 5l9,o55; in 1867, 902,-
Gao. 1t is now estimated at about
100, 900; and yet more than two
thirds of the state is just rs it came
from the hand of nature. From
twenty to twenty. five millions OF
acres Of prairie land have not been
touched 10y the pillow. Homesteads
may be secured, in many of the coun-
ties of Northwestern Iowa on gov
eminent lands, while the greater
portion of unimprovcd lands may be
bought at from $3.50 to $40 per acre /;
and nearly every acre of it is rs good
land as any which has yet yielded
its wealth to cultivation.
Twelve railroads, with more than
fourteen hundred miles of lines, are
In operation. Within year three
railroads will traverse the state from
east TO west.
In the ninety-seven organized coun-
ties of the State, there were i'm 1867,
6,229 schools with gross attendance
OF 25l, 2Sl pupils. Our system of ed
Hcation is thorough aud complete :
no state in the Union possesses more
extensive provisions for universal
education. With these unsurpassed
advantages, is it to be wondered at
that the people of the eastern states
aud of foreign nations are fiocking to
our state to provide themselves with
happy homes? More is il to be won>
dsred that young men will remain i'm
the cities and exc out miserable ex-
istence, when these glorious oppor-
tunities are offered. Let our vast re-
sources he known. There is work
and opportunities for all who will
nianfully seek them Alright.

Resources and DCyel-
oDmcnt oFToyn.

Since the organizations Of Iowa as
n territory, and more especially rs a
state, her growth aud progress have
been remarkable. 1t Is within the
recollection of our young men, even,
when Iowa numbered but a handful
Of men, and her resources were un-
developed and unknown. Compare.
lively few to day appreciate the rap
id strides which our state Is making
In everything which tends to increase
her power and influence. In reply
TO Peer Cooper, President of the
emigration society of New York,
Gov. Merrill has given very lucid
statement OF what the state now is,
from which we condensc the follow
ing fhcts:
The state contains 55,o+5 square
miles, nearly rs great as that of all
England, much greater than Ireland
and nearly twice as large as Scotland.
The land is nearly all rolling or un-
dulatinr, only part being what is
denominatcd "Bat prairie" Coal is
being found, i'm different parts, in
great abundance. The census OF 1866
showed 90, 800 tons taken out against
GG 1854 In 1864. Peat is also found in
abundance. The climate is healthy
and the farming land Of unsurpass-
ing richness. Wheat is grown in ev-
cry county in the state. In 1859 Iowa
was the fifteenth of the states of the
union in the production ofthis cereal
i'm 1868 it stood eighth while in the
former it was the 25th in the number
of acres improved, and in 1860 was
the fifteenth. The wheat crop of
1868 is estimated at $4,000, 900, bush
cls, and intelligent agriculturalists
place the probable yield of 1870 at
5000, 900. The corn crop of 1868 is
estimated at $4,000, 900 bushels, and
is is not improbable that the yield as
large rs given by the census of 1870
