To The Iowa County Democrat;

effect that land will reach $500 per acre
in Wisconsin. | say yes, $500. Wis.
consin is in the corn belt rs we'll as
Iowa. and l will say land will reach
$3.50 to $500 per acre.
Why, now, stop and think: Almost
all the corn states are In cultivation,
and inside of twenty years you will see
corn selling in the market higher than
wheat. Now. some man will say, that
is impossible. l say, no. You must
remember that there are millions of
acres in the United States that will
grow wheat that the pillow has never
turned the sod over. But will some one
please name the corn belt that is not
growing corn2 Now, You take South
Dakota. There il some wild land in
that state that will grow corn; and
some in Minnesota. Now, have
named the two states, and / have
named them all. Wisconsin is as good
corn state as there Is In the Union.
OF course there is no state in the Union
that raises as many bushels of corn as
Iowa. No state in the Union raises as
many hogs, and now, the state raises
more horses, and fattens more cattle.
And there never was year that had a
better crop than this year. | have
been in thirty counties, and l never
saw AS good crop OF everything as
there is this year-not shortage of
anything. j. ID. JAMES.

that no objection would be offered to

LONDON, October 1o.-The Express

THE immediate objective of the Ger

The new line-up of the opposing
