FARMERS.
v
What They Write About the Country,
and "What Crops They Raise in
Southwestern jVehrasha*
^FIRead What Has Been Done.|@^"
SOUTHWESTERN NEBRASKA
By an Iowa Farmer.
Editor Democrat, Fort Madison, Iowa.
Dear Sir.—Believing that a short
letter would interest some of my friends
and acquaintances, with your permission
I would like to give through your col
umns, a short sketch of my adventures
to the far west, and what I find here. I
arrived here November i8tli, last, with
my family of eleven. I see but little
change since I was here in February,
1892, except that there has been a great
amount of prairie land put under culti
vation this year, and a vast amount of
grain raised, which is being marketed as
fast as possible at good prices. It is
surprising to see so many Iowa, Illinois,
and eastern Nebraska farmers settling
here, and as a result the price of farm
lands is advancing.
I never saw such beautiful fall weather
in my life; have had no winter at all yet,
but about four or five inches of snow.
Weather nice. and roads fine. Upon
looking over the crop I find a great dif
ference in the yield per acre, some corn
yielding 70 bushels per acre and some
only 20 bushels. I also find that it is
invariably due to the various ways of
farming: good farming raises good crops
and poor farming poor crops. There are
many fields of sod corn here yielding 35
bushels per acre, and this yield at 25
cents per bushel makes a good income
from £10 to £15 land. Broom corn is a
favorite and profitable sod crop here; it
costs £5 per acre to get it ready for mar
ket, and a 20-acre sod field on my road
to town made £12.50 per acre after all
expenses.
There is a large amount of prairie
land from which you can get two years
crops for breaking. This looks to me
like better terms than the farmers can
get in the east. I have found no disad
vantages yet since my arrival here, and
doubt of ever finding such as are ex
pected by eastern people. The society
is refined and social, which is very
agreeable to new settlers.
Now as I have already used up too
much space I will close by saying that
I am well pleased with Southwestern
Nebraska, and believe that there are
many farmers throughout the east who
are losing a grand opportunity of getting
themselves a good home.
Should any one wish to gain any
further information as to Southwestern
Nebraska, I will be pleased to answer
any questions, or would refer them to
Mr. S. H. Colvin, of McCook, Nebraska,
who was the cause of my settling here.
He has a neat map and descriptive cir
cular of Southwestern Nebraska, and a
price list of farm lands, which he will be
glad to send you upon receipt of a stamp.
Thanking you for this space, and hop
ing to meet some of your readers here
soon, I am, very respectfully yours,
Henry F. Kipp.
McCook Neb., Jan. 19, 1893.
Dear Friend.—I ar ived here with
my three car loads of stock and goods
in fine shape. Was greatly surprised to
find the ground bare and roads so fine,
and such nice weather, there having
been a heavy snow on the ground when
I left Lake City, Iowa. I find there has
been only from 4 to 6 inches of snow
here this winter, and there is but little
frost in the ground now. I am more fa
vorbly impressed with the country now
than when here before. There can be
no finer farm land found than here, and
the vast amount of com piled all over
the prairie will vouch for its productive
ness. When I first read the description
of Southwestern Nebraska, with prices
of land written by S. H. Colvin, of
McCook, Red Willow county, Nebraska,
I believed it too greatly exaggerated;
but I did have faith enough to come
and see the country, and am no ready
to confirm the statement of the country
as made in the circular, and believe that
Mr. Colvin has underestimated it in
many particulars.
I have bought tnysell a hue b4o acre
farm and will go to farming in earnest
this spring. I never saw so fine laying
land for farming, where the yield per
acre is so great, and you can buy the
land at from $10 to $15 per acre. This
is a good location to rent land, as you
can get one-third of all the crop, and in
many cases get two crops for breaking
the land. Corn is yielding heavy and
this is a fine country to feed stock. I
am sorry that all the farmers in the east
cannot see this country, as I am satisfied
there are many who are giving a heavy
rent that could own homes here and get
all the crop. I find that the price of
land is advancing, and in a short time
the cheap land will all be gone.
Hoping my farmer friends will be in
terested enough to visit Southwestern
Nebraska, I remain,
Very truly yours,
R. P. Barr.
McCook, Neb., Jan. 2, 1893.
John C. Russell, of McCook P. O.,
Red Willow county, Nebraska, being
duly sworn, deposes and says: I live on
section 12, township 3, range 29, three
miles from McCook, Nebraska: that my
corn crop for 1892, raised on said farm,
yielded 60 bushels per acre of better com
than I ever raised or saw grown in Iowa.
I rented some adjoining prairie land in
1892, which I agreed to break for two
years crops from same. In the spring of
1892 I broke out and planted to broom
corn iS acres which when marketed
yielded me $254, after all expenses were
paid, being $14.11 per acre which I got
for breaking the land, and the land is
now in fine condition for another year’s
crop, which I get without rent. I have
rented considerable land in Iowa and
can say from experience that there is
much more profit in renting land here
than in the east, and a still better profit
in buying land here at from $6 to $12 per
acre than renting any place.
