A Stranger Tells Us “An Australian who has spent some time in this country said in a causal conservation one evening that no one, not even Americans, not even Illinoisans, or Ohioans, nor Nebraskans, fully appreciate the midwest,” quotes the Chicago Tribune. “Nowhere else in the world, he continued, can there be found an agricultural area so large, so rich in its soil, so regular inits rainfall, and so varied in its products. “Take an irregular, flattened cir cle, radiating roughly 500 miles from Chicago, from the Ohio river north into Manitoba, from the Appalachians west to'the 20 inch rainfall lupit. That is the middlewest. Eight states—Ohio. Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wis consin, Missouri, Iowa and Min nesota—and the eastern portions of the Dakotas, Nebraska and Kansas. Of all its rich crops corn is the richest. . . , “A great horticulturist wrote once that if com were unknown to the modern world, and a seeds man introduced it as a novelty, with a simple, factual description of its qualities, he woujd either be thrown in jail as the greatest liar in the history of agriculture or would have his warehouses wrecked by mobs of eager pur chasers. . . . “The middlewest raises more than three-quar^rs of the nation’s corn There are 11 million acres of it in Iowa, nearly nine millions in Illinois, the same in Nebraska.” Mr. and Mrs. Richard Ellis, of' Omaha, who have been visiting at the home of his parents, Mr. i tnd Mrs. Albert Ellis since Mon-j day, returned to Omaha Thursday.1 t Meeting for All Inter ested in Rural Electric Lines in the County Those interested in Rural Elect rification, please read carefully.
