Futile attempts have been
made by some the past year to
discourage our farmer friends
as to the prospects of this couu,
try as a farming country. 1t
seems, however, that good luck
and good seasons have been on
the side of the farmer and he is
going ahead with his farming
without any visible effect from
this "discouraging talk" He
has been told it did not rain in
this country, that he could not
raise anything here and that
without he was man with much
means if he undertook to farm
be would starve out. The most
of these new settlers are from
Missouri and in consequence
have to be shown. They have
taken claims, farmed the land,
and have good crops as result.
They have told their friends in
old Missouri by letter what the
crop prospects are in this coun-
try this season and are expect
ing many of their old neighbors
out this fall to locate among
them, and thus the settlement
of the country increases, i'm
provement develops its re
sources and the capital that
comes with it makes the country
weather.. There is no longer
need for experiment, the coun-
try has been tested most thor.
oughly and its seasons are not
found wanting, the soil yields
abundantly and the farmer is
satisfied. Lands are appreci
ating in value and the demand
for it will increase as the peo-
pie continue to come.-Higgins
