An interesting Letter From Al Otd Setter Of
Stevens Go. Descriptive Of That Region.
MORRIS. FEBRUARY, 9th, 1876.
Editor Anes- Hosop01jst.
am very sorry to say that have
been 80 slack in answering your note
that received last fall l saw by your
paper that you bad been out here in
Stevens Co. to see tor yourself. And I
see, you were very highly pleased with
it's fertility of soil and its capacity to
build up its name, among the wheat pro-
jucing precincts of world rerown.
exactly agree with Hon. Mr.. Hodges
about the future capacity Of this tract Of
land laying tributary TO the main line of
the St. Paul & Pacific Road. see you
have made very valuable selection Of
land. your location is very good. There
seems to grand rush 70 this place this
winter. Nearly every day there is more
or less land taken. Yesterday there
was grand rush for town lots. The
people we're someWha. excited.
BY the the time another year rolls
around there will be, but few vacant sec
tons OF land left in this county. So if
pien wish ~ get farms close to town. they
must get here early next spring. The
producing capacity of this soil, cannoe
os easily oyeresiimated by reasonable
men; We old pioneers OF this Co. can
voucE by experience for it; the strength
OF the soil is so great that common
droughts. do not effect vegetation in COM
parison with other localities. We reach
this conclusion ny the reports that were
published In 1871. that being o very dry
seas n. There were but few farmers
located in this Co. at that. time. but what
few there were. can testify how well this
land stood tho drought. Our serial grain
yielded On al average its crop that year,
and We were satisfied that it was as dry
here. AS it was in other localities. where
their crops were , total failure.
Men that locate here are not obliged
TO contract themselves to one line In
f,rmiug. that is to wheat producing;
they can, it they feel inclined to. branch
GU. IN other voc stions. such Us stock
raising We can boast OF having some as
beautiful, and productive hay meadows
AS can be- found anywhere; and plenty
OF water that is one of the essential n.
ticles 10 make dairying successful. At
present stock raising Is very remuner-
alive vocation. 1 would say to those
who think OF immigraung here to launch
out in farming, that they cannot expect
20 raise whest of this soil BY just turn
ing over the sod and sowing the seed
broad cast over the ground. Men have
tried that much to their own sorrow.
They cannot produce any kind Of eerials
off any soil OF this kind by 50 doing.
Men of experience have come to the
conclusion, that to be successful in
farming. they must break at east inches
or inches deep. aud fully pulverize the
soil. after sowing the seed; and If the
ground is rough after dragging. to adj
minister heavy rolling with roller. and
will guarantee them fair remuneration
tor their labor.
am pleased to congratulate you in
your success las. fall. aud your return to
the sta;e senate. and also upon the in
creasing circulation u your paper in
this town and Co. l was very much
pleased to hear the eloquent voice Of
your associate, editor Mr.. O'Brien in
the grand lecture which he delivered in
our scnool-houSe. He had the largest
audience ever gathered al one time in
our school house. The lecture was q
success and every one went to their
homes, satisfied and wished we would
have lew more such visits OF that sort.
