fine as in the Shenandoah valley of
Virginia, and yields much more to the
acre 60 bushels to the acre is con
sidered an average crop, but often a
crop of 80 and 90 bushels is raised.
Raising oats is very profitable here,
they grow to perfection in this cli
mate the finest I ever saw being
here, and they yield GO bushels to the
acre. Potatoes also grow in abund
ance, but our little Shcpherdstown
Colorado bug played havoc with the
crop last year. The climate is much
colder than in Jefferson county, West
Virginia. Fruit is scarce here, but
joung orchards are being set out, and
in a few years, no doubt, fruit will
be plentiful in this state. Game is

crane the air is sometimes darkened
with them and geese and ducks of
the finest kinds. Fish in the Platte
r.d Missouri river consist principally j
of buffalo and cat, and range from the
smaller sizes to over 200 pounds in
weight. Small fruits grow here in
abundance wild plums, grapes and
gooseberries are gathered along the
ravines and creeks. Now, friend Zit
tle, I have given you a' brief descrip
tion of the country, and what do you
think these lands can be bought for
per acre? Raw lands can be purchas
ed for $3 to $10 per acre; improved
land, $10 to $25; school and railroad
land $10 per acre, with ten years'
time. Great inducements are held out
to emigrants to procure homes in this
state. The first crop will pay for
the land and all expenses for cultiva-
folks want to own a fine farm in the
west, without money, we say come
right along. This is the asylum for
the oppressed of all nations. Thou-
sands and millions of acres of the
finest land here are waiting for just
such folks as we have in old Jefferson
county, and who would become
wealthy here, whilst if they remain
there it is impossible for them to be
comeany more than a moderate renter.
Thousands of people in this state, who
come any more than a moderate renter
years ago, today are in first-rate cir
cumstances, whilst a large portion of
them are wealthy. Now, young men,
and middle aged men, come west, buy
yourselves homes, and grow up rich
with this beautiful western country.
