The legislature at it's last regular ses-
sion made an appropriation to purchase
a farm adjoining the penitentiary. The
farm was purchased, and we have been
cultivating as much as was possible, hav-
ing no appropriation for farming nipple
ments, seeds, etc.
We have been moderately successful.
We raised last year about 5000 bushels
of potatoes, all the green corn we used,
end ABOUT forty-6v tons of hay, and
seeded down forty acres to meadow; the
rest is used for pasturage It is toe
early TO estimate as to what we shall
raise this year. The legislature did q
wise thing in authorizing the purchase
of the farm, as it is located near the coal
shaft, and thu royalty on coal would
have cost the state much more than was
paid for the land, including the coal.
Land adjoining the shaft is increasing
rapidly in value, and it certainly would
be desirable for the State te secure az
much as possible, especially land on
which the state has no coal lease, while
it can be had at reasonable prices. II

sible to buy land, and it is better for the
state to own the land than it is to pay
royalty on the coal; two mills per buahel
makes land worth $50 per acre for the
coal alone. and it is impossible now tc
lease land at two mills, unless it il q
