The prospects for crops in Iowa, Mis-

never finer than this year. The corn never
looked better, and what is still more en-
courag1ng. the prices are very good. AMI
indeed. quite profitable. Corn is being used
for many more purposes than formerly
and the farmers are getting the benefit.
The advance in wheat, too, has caused an
increased use of other cereals, especially
corn Within two months the prices OF
farm land have increased 50 per cent. in
those states. The prosperity Is more evil
dent in the small towns than In the cities.
The farmers are getting out of debt. In
a few years those states will be the bond

greatly benefited. Within few months.
