Iowa Farmer wrested the land from the
redskins, the Hawkeye state has been

the soil is Iowa's long suit.
Agriculture and Iowa are to all tntents

the Mississippi forms the Napoleonic pro-

muddy Missouri flows by her back door
bluffs on the west. Iowa Is a never ending
panorama of rolling hills covered with
corn, wheat, oats, grazing cattle and still

corn and oats and in the value of the
