From Colnaan's Rural World, March
2Sth, 1900: Southeast Missouri is so
varied in it's characteristics that it is
for US to give even in out
line description of that section or
even of the one county named in the
space available. One can find about
one wants in the way of land.
Much of it is rough and broken-fine
for grazing and for fruit. There is
corn land that will produce as much
per acre as anybody's land, but the
of corn land is not so large
as in other sections. Some portions of
Southeast Missouri are noted for the
quality and yield of wheat. That sec
lion, too, is famous for its watermelons
and its cotton. In Southeast Missouri
are mountains of iron, mines of lead,
luarries of granite and other mineral
wealth of untold value. In its swamps
and on its hills there are forests of cy-
press, pine and oak. In short, South
east Missouri is a region of resources
beyond compare in their richness and
variety. And withal land is lower in
price in that section than in any other
Of the State. D. E. King, General
Travelling agent, Missouri Pacific and
Iron Mountain Railway, st. Louis, will
be glad to answer inquiries regarding
Southeast Missouri"
