WESTERN IOWA.
Albert Long Writes of That Part of
State,


A letter has been received from Al
bert Long of Honey Greek, who for
many years was resident of Wapel-
10 county. Honey Creek is situated in
the western part of the state, near
Council Bluffs. Mr.. Long tells of the
country and of the favorable condi
lions that prevail for making this one
of the best seasons that part of the
state has had for many years. Though
Mr.. Long seems to be pleased with the
locality, yet he states that Council
Bluffs is by no means the equal of
Ottumwa.
A Promising Season.
In the letter mentioned Mr.. Long
says:
Honey Creek, Iowa.
Dear Friend:-I am located about
twelve miles north of Council Bluffs
and about eleven miles from Omaha,
as the crow flies, but as we cannot fly
we go by the way of Council Bluffs to
Omaha. We have had plenty of rain
during the last two weeks. There
has been some hail. There is still
considerable amount of corn
to plant. Most of the corn in
this part of the country is listed, a
very lazy way of farming. The heavy
rains this spring have washed out a
great deal of the corn that was plant
ed early and in many places among
the hills the farmers have had to do
"a great deal of replanting.
The Products.
NEARLY all of the products of this
part of the state consists of corn,
hogs and very little tame grass. A
great many cattle are shipped into this
section of the country from the west
many are wintered here and sent out
to the ranches in the spring. Land
values are on the boom in this sec
ton. bought this farm last January
and sold last week at an advance of
81, 920. The real estate men are reap
/ ing great harvest. They frequently
make $1,000 on single deal. This,
however, is not as good county, ev-
lerything considered, as Wapello, and
| the man who has ia m, be 1t large
or small, and well situated, | would
advise him to stay on it.
| Council Bluffs.
Council Bluffs is very good town
with good markets, for all varieties OF
4 stock and produce, though it is not the
same as Ottumwa This part of the
country is about the windiest place
ever saw. The sand is blown in sucl
large clouds ON some days that the
sun is obscured and it will penetrate
the smallest openings and crevices in
the houses covering everything there
! in Everything in the way of eatables
has sand in it. Prospects for fruit are
1 exceedingly good and corn is growing
rapidly. have sixty-five acres of lane

part of the state to any great extent
/ but there is much wheat produced ant
at present the wheat fields are in goot
condition.

tor in my family and you cannot imag
inc the pleasure it gives me to reat
the old home paper.
