through the ADVANCE to drop few
words for the benefit of those that are
seeking homes in the West. There is
much said at the present time by the
press and also land owrers of the ad-
vantages, and not much of the disad-
vantages, of certain localities. But the
great rush is for some good poiut upon
some railroad. And now comes the in
quiry, 'Where shall go?" Shall I go
to the Southwest, West, or Northwest
to secure home? Many prominent
places all along the line OF roads are
named. But persons that are located
are very often partial to their locality.
Therefore shall bring you to point
on the st. Paul Y Sioux City railroad.
We will stop at Hersey station and look
ut the surrounding country. What is
the country here? Some say that it is
too low and wet for farming. think
that is a mistake, and this is my rea-
son: Last year was i very wet season
and l noticed that the farmers of this
locality got to their fields to cut their
gram us soon as they did in other To-
calities where it is more rolling land
often mentioned through the press.
There is not much of the land around
flersey that is owned by spectators
and the st. Paul s. Sioux City road is
making very good offers. Even better
ing to my judyment.) What we want
are Home Farmers to locate and hell,
settle up this part of our county. We
ind toI of
farmers with their 4S0 acres Of land and
also 320 acres and SO down to their 40
acres and l might give some of their
| names: Looking east of the station is
Mr.. Wiltenbarker with his nice farm
about 160 acres under the pl0w. Mr..
Haffey, joining him has large farm
open. Messrs. IIoyt & Quinn have
farms to the south of town. A. Hen
Erickson, Il. p. Grove, VIM. Lockwood
and MIR. Grono have all good fields into
grain. might give many more names
that are all good farmers and that are
very confident that this is good farm
ing country, and those of you who are
seeking homes with beautiful prairie
and good water, call and see L. l.. Nor
ris, Station Agent, or for further par
ticulars see the Land Commissioner in
st. Paul. In looking for railroad land
| don't fail to inform yourself in refer
ence to the offers made by the St. Paul
y Sioux City railroad. In this locality,
the soil is of Il black muck and loan of
superior quality. The drainage is good,
and grass in abundance. It is well
adapted to mixed husbandry. The
country looks level us we look out upon
it, hut we are mistaken in q measure.
Now. it / could give you an accurate
number OF the acres under cultivation,
in and around Hersey, perhaps YOU
might lie induced to call and see. Go
north Of Hersey two miles, also west
two or three miles, and so all around.
and you will see some beautiful country
within that radius. And one great ad
vanta ge you can get near to station.
and also in very healthy part Of the
State. More again. OBSERVER.
THE CROPS.
From all this it will he seen that the
farmers hereabouts are not anywise de-
spondent, and that the crop prospects
| are still unimpaired. Some of them
| even look upon the dry weather as a
good thing, and they call to mind the
tact that sorre of the best crops this
section has had has been in seasons
