Mr.. Editor vii YOU please spare mc
short space in your valuable paper 10
! give your numerous readers short sketch
| Of Sac county, Iowa This is my third
| winter here and IA mild one as the for
mer ones we're. We did not feed our cat
| tie any vet this winter. When We came
| here three wears ago this spring, l coule
only see three houses and one place whcro
little sod was broke, u looked pretty
wild then for n Penn'a putehman, ana
! had To draw our lumber and coal about
| thirty miles over the prairie and no houses
| for mules now il looks dIacreni-'n The
short sraco OF three years Il improved fast
| here: | can now count some seventy
buildings from my place, and thousands
of acres under cultivation, w look Tor
| creator emigration this spring than ever,
hundred of acres oi sod will be tliet over
This summer, we have now railroad,
through the southern part of cur county,
Our market is low here, wheat -, oats l.,
barley -, potatoes 90 cents per bu,, corn
l6 cts Our crops were good last year
averaged about 10 bu. 10 the acre oats ~
bu., corn went from forty 20 one hunered
bu', 20 the acre now some ~ the Old Tar
mors in there say what is the use 20 raise
grain there they don't get anything TOT u
,hcre,n Ne, we don't get much FOR 10,
but We raise two crops Of wheat % your one
m the same Iine, and our land don't cost
us more than the tenth part that land costs
in Penn'a, Oar taxes are pretty ,bigh-on
an improved farm og one hundred and SIX
" acres, the tax thus year Is about SSO
than five set cut an acre ot forest trees or
fruit trees every acre will take of $50
valuation from cur taxes; We can pay
half Of our taxes with trees, one half VT
nave 20 pay in money. Trees grow well
here To those livinG east who contem'
plate moving west Of the Mississippi NC
would say come and settle among Us and
GUY lands while they are cheap and a..
sisl in developing this country, destined 20
become the creates, in the world. Sac
county is well adapted 90 raising grain and
is also especially adapted 90 the TGiSiug of
stock, which has proven 20 be Ii profitable
business 10 these who engage in u. The
country is remarkably healthy the land Is
well drained and the soil Is rich 6lack
loan Here the best improved machinery
can be used 10 much better advantage
than in the east, by reason of the country
being free Of stones, stumps and rough or
broken land. Young or middle aged men
in the populous eastern states, u will take
many Of you lifetime - get farm where
you now are. Leave your worn out soil,
