haNSAs VII jury -
DEAR HERALD
We are 50 far on cur trip westward and
have enjoyed the journey very much. The
late rains haFe cooled the atmosphere so
that it IS quite pleasant TO get around, but
besides making it pleasant for travellers ii
has been Of immense value to The grangers
of this State The wheat crop is fairly good
and has been secured in first rate condition,
but the corn suffered on account Of the pro-
longed drouth. There is also great differ
ence between the high lands and the bot
toms The depth of the soil in the latter is
50 much greater that it holds the moisture
longer, and now the rains coming just when
needed viii give at least fair crop to the
best laads, and that means plenty for all
purposes. The wheat yield may be little
short, but the quality is good.
We left ST. Louis about the first of July
and went through to Springfield in day.
The country we passed through was mostly
scrub oak, and the crops looked bad for
want Of rain. The towns seemed to be akin
to the country and did not present an inn
posing appearance to US. We weretoId that
this was the poorest part of the State, and
we accepted it for want of better information.
When about ten miles from Springfield
there was some improvement in the general
appearance of the country, and around
Springfield land is good. / met here my
brother H. Y. Schell. whom had not seen
for over 80 years, and found his family all
we'll | also met sac Massaler, nee Stewart,
and Elizabeth Bechtel, formerly Neff, and
you may rest assured they were glad TO see
some one from Somerset. We enjoyed
pleasant week with our friends in this beau
tifaI city. did not learn why this place is
called Springfield, but presume it is from
several large springs around it. The electric
street railway runs out to large and beauti-
ful park on the outskirts OF the city. The
park is private property. and the revenues
for maintaining it are raised by renting the
boats and permission to fish in the lake.
We left Springfield on the 10th inst, and
found the country somewhat better west
ward. When about 25 miles from Kansas
City remarked TO g. gentleman near me
that this was the finest land and improve
ments had seen in Missouri. He astonish-
ed me by saying that / was in Kansas. This
was more than | expected, as ! never ex-
pected- 10 see Kansas. For the rest of the
way we saw beautiful farms, immense fields
OF corn and thsving orchards, and il is safe
TO say that in that distance ! saw more
apples in that country than III all the States
We passed through since We left Somerset.
