Lands lying on the rivers and streams . (of . which there are many) consist of black Joam, some of which is mixed with sand. On these lands . abundant crops of hay corn and oats are 'raised. The uplands : consist largely of what might be considered level, table and mountain lands. ? These have a good stiff subsoil in most instances and are susceptible of very high improvement, and when properly cultivated yield ample harvest of all product Corn in many instances amounts to from seventy-five to one hundred bushels per acre and wheat rye and oats produce excellent crops These lands properly prepared are specially adapted to clover and grass-. es stands of which are easily secured. Much money is realized from these crops but not so much as from the crops of potatoes and cabbage, for these two crops row on these lands to perfection and are not surpassed by any sectionin the whole country. Hundreds of bushels of potatoes and tons upon tong of are ly raised per acre and find a ready market m the near-by southland. This county easily stands at the head of any county in the shipment of these two. products. Potatoes and corn could and would be raised to meet the demands of any ordinary starch factory. No more invitng field can be found anywhere for the truck far. mer and gardener, and large profits 1 can be realized from canneries and pickling establishments, as our soil and climate an especially adapted to the crops suitable for such pur- poke (such as cucumbers, beans, squash, cauliflower, tomatoes, rhu barb peppers, corn, onions, eta) All small fruit do well here. It is estimated that $800 worth of rasp berries per acre can be grown here and almost the same of strawberries; but it is not done because the mar ket during the fruiting season is not sufficient ? Hence the : necessity of j more outfits for the perservation of these crops. Our cool nights during the grow ing season are very beneficial to all crops, such as beets, turnips, mangel . ' wurzl, carrots and other of a late . nature Some of these crops are not raised . in very large quanities but on short notice the supply could be made to equal any demand. gi u xi vJd ICS llUlwl During the four years this house has been in the city it has come to be known as the leading hotel . of Henderson villlT and the accommo dations which this hotel have . fur- nished our resident and traveling public have been such as to win for them the entire esteem and respect of the public and to extend -their t name and reputation throughout the entire southern country; ?
