Tavaligeratitan. into Kansas.
%hag in the papers that it is con -
plated, to send colonial from the
cities to the West, including
and even Western Kansas, I
give a few }tints that may pre -
some _disappointment. The re-
orts and glowing accounts circulatea
let/149rd to Kansas axe most exaggera,t-
ad, or state only—some of them, at
least—the favorable side. For instance,
the great prosperity of the "wheat-
gaugingwestern counties is a humbug,
a4.0tw1thstand1ng that a few suceessive
crops have been raised. Most of
farmers in those counties are heav-
bt. debt, raid have to pay ruinous. in-
terest ; and one failure in raising a
'crop --and. sueh failures areby no means
• irare occurrences in Kansas—will ruin
ethem Besides that to raise nothing
• but wheat year after year, to cultivate
' theland in a slipshod meemer, and to
'burn the straw, will aoon exhaust the
•( naturally light soil. The large wheat
) crop of T. C. Henry has been mention -
4 ea repeatedly in the Tribune but the
faet thathalf of that great crop turned,
out to be too poor to be worth the
thrashing has not been reported. Still,
all things considered, Kansas in many
respects is a good State, and, offers cer-
tain advantages scarcely forma any.
'where else, provided the new settler has
means enough not to be ruined by one
feelure of crops, and is able to invest
some capital in live stock. Kansas has
been destined by nature to be a gain. -
growing State. Her prairies, and even
her bluffs, are clothed all s er in
luxuriant green, -while those of, Illinois
and other States in the Mississippi Val-
ley are burned and. roasted. ; and, even
in a dry season, our industrious farmer
-will never be in want of food, for
bis stock, as the growing- of grass is
every year sufficient to enablehine to
make an abundance of 'hay for the Win-
ter. As to crops again : If a crop is
raised, it is usually a bountous one—
better than in any other Ste I know
of—but, on an average, thiifthappeias
not oftener than five or six times in a,
dozen years. As a consequence, a far-
mer who has means enough riot to be
ruined. by one failure will prosper jUst
as well as anywhere else, but one who
has not, -will be in, a deplorable condi-
tion if he has the roisfortime of his
first crop being a failure. As tugeneral
rule,- I would not advise any one coming
to Kansaa to farm, to settle in the west -
em part of the State, say west of Junc-
tion City.
Further, as to homesteads: There is
yet. considerable Government land. in
Kansas ; but the land worth having has
been settled. long ago, or is in, the hands
of private parties. Some good land_ is
also awned by the variousrailroad cora-
nanies ; but the cheapest way for a new
comer is undoubtedly to buy an im-
proved. farm. There are a great many
! for sale, and they can be bought for
