Interview from John w. Lytton, one
of the party, which should be interest

says:
81 would rather own twenty acres oil
Iowa farm land than whole section OF
Colorado farm land. I was surprised
at the tired. haggard and discouraged
and disappointed feeling and look OF
the people on the farms Of eastern
Colorado. l was mighty glad to get
hack to Iowa where the farmers are
smiling and have an air of prosperity
about them that proves they are max
ing Iowa farms pay. | noticed Inc
difference the minute crossed over
into Iowa. In eastern Colorado 1t is
all dry farming and from what | could
ascertain the people who went from
iowa to this country are pretty well
sick of their bargains and wish 'they
were back in the old Hawkeye state.
Farming conditions. are far more diff
cult in Colorado than they are IN
Iowa and it requires so much more
work to produce the same amount OF
grain as the ,rSa farms produce. If
