Akron, Colorado, has probably
within the past three years experienc.
ed the most rapid as we'll as the most
healthy growth of any city in the
west. II is surrounded by a country
uns urpassed by any on earth for the
richness and fertility Of its soil and
the beauties Of its climate. Any, ami
everything that can be raised in
Iowa, Illinois, Indiana or Ohio can
here be grown in the greatest profu-
sion. Wheat grown in the near vi,
c nifty Of Akron, took a diploma for
being the best grain of the kind exs
hibited at the Nebraska State fair,
held at Lincoln, in September, 1889.
And all crops grown 10 this latitude
can be raised here as successfully as
anywhere on earth.
GOVERNMENT LAND.
There are vet thousands of acres of
government land vac mt, which can
be taken under the homestead, pre-.
emption and timber culture acts,
which person can have for the tax,
ing. A bountiful government will
make you independent IL few years
IL you will but act now. The sur.
face of the country is nearly a per
feet level, but still sloplng enough
to afford good drainage No breaks
or draws such as ruin or deface so
many western farms. No protracted
struggle with rocks. Your first glance
at the country would remind you of
one vast meadow, only waiting the
pillow of the husbandman to trans.
form it into an Eden OF beauty and
productiveness.
