visited this section, and this is what
he says about it:
ELDoN, Ia, Dec. 3, 1878.
We left Iowa on Monday for our
home In the Kingdom. Our sojourn
in the Hawkeye State has been Of the
most pleasant character, and we
would gladly have prolonged our
stay, but previous engagements claim
ed our attention.
The Des Moines Valley is . fine
corn-growing region. The land here
produces from ten to twelve barrels
per acre, without regard to the sea-
s0n-either wet or dry, it is all the
same, as the soil 10 sandy. We have
shipped some of the corn home as a
sample Of their crop. Hogs are rails
ed and fatted hero to vast extent.
In fact, hogs and corn are the staples
Of this State, together with beef cat
tie. An immense pork factory has
just gone into operation ut Ottumwa
1t is owned by an English firm, and
all Of the best pork will at once be
shipped to the old country, % they
say they are in great need Of hog and
hominy in that country.
Coal is in abundance in the bluffs
Of Des Moines and along in the mar.

the productions of Iowa to induce
any man or woman to emigrate from

we only aim to give the facts in thu
case. Missouri, our native State, We
regard as the best on the continent
