the beauties Of its climate. Any, and
everything that can be raised in
Iowa, illinois, Indiana or Ohio can

sion. Wheat grown in the near Viz
entity of Akron, took diploma for

hibited at the Nebraska State fair,
held at Lincoln, in September, 1889,
And all crops grown in this latitude
can be raised here as successfully as
anywhere on earth.
