and well developed.
Everything is very productive in the
west this year, besides the vast amount

county may be illustrated by an example or two, two years ago Mr. Daggett,

per bushel now, and will unquestionably bring 80 cents before spring and

The truth is any young man with the

acres of land and in two years, he can
pay for it, living in the mean time like a
king.
