10 RED WILLOW AND ITS RICHES More Gold Garnsted From Repablions Val- | loy Loam Than From Oolorado Rack. ANOTHER NEBRASKA COUNTY HEARD FROM tural, Finanelal, Edacational and Social—Figures That Prove Ex- ceptionsl Prosperity-Ohio and Hlinols Come hind, Red Willow county lies in the southwest- orn part of the stato, in the great Republican valloy, and is bounded on the north by Fron- tier county, east by Furnas county, south by tho state of Kansas and wost by Hitehcock county. 1t coutains 400,800 acres ot fino Iying, rich agricultural lands, whose pro- ductivenoss cannot be excelled by any land in the stato, The soll is a rich black loam, whoso fortility seoms inexhaustiblo, as the fields that have been in cultivation for yonrs yiold as Jargo returns as vhose that have just boon put in cultivation, nor has any fortile iz0rs boen usol excopt as thrifty and pros- porous farmeora haul the year's compost out and sproad the samo over the land. The farmers of Red Willow county have demonstrated one fact, thav the land 1n the Republican valloy has only to bo turnod over and kept free from weeds to raiso a orop of grain or corn that caunot bo equaled in any of the older states, nor is it necessary to cul- tivate a corn crop more than two or throo times at tho most, as by the tima that tho 1ast turn over is roached the corn 18 so large that to cultivate it more will break down and destroy the crop. "Tho subsoil is the deopest known, varying from 80 10 £00 feot, and in some places in the county the bottom of the rich loam has nover beon reached oven by parties pros- pecting for coal or ocher at a depth of over 200 foor. Wood and Water In Abundance. The county is well watered, tho Republi- can river flowing through its ontiro length from wost to east, and emptying thoir sur- plus water into the Kepublican as it flows through the county uro_the Red Willow, the Driftwood, Ash creok, Dry creek and several other smallor stroams, Theso streams fur- nish sbundant water power, aud several mills have beon erocted on thoir banks at various points. Along these streams s abundant umber, and in no county in the #tate has the umber cuiture law peen im- proved as in tnis. Iine groves of imber dot tho prairies, eachi farmer, as soon s ho had tukon his land, having sot about sccuring a krove of walulit, ash or other forest trocs, And it is an excoption to find a farm without ius grovo of timber, in most cases surround- ing the house and farm buildings. Ited Willow county claims the most pro- ductive soil, and all kinds of grasses, both wild and tame, grow luxuriantly, and in tho varioty of its vegotables and fruits it cannot be excolled; thore is not a vewetablr, coreal or fruit that grows or can be prodauced in the temperate zono that is not raised succossfully in tnis county. Smail fruits, with little cultivation, produce nbundaut crovs and con- tinue for from ten days to two woeks lator than in uny other place, the strawborries coming into market close upon the southern grown berries. Cherrios are raised in abundance, often a siuglo troe furnishes abundance for family uso both for table and and presorving for winter use. Apricots aro a suro crop and the fruit has a ricl, plousant taste not found in the California or other varieties grown in o warmer climate. The climate hero sooms tavorable for seaches and last year the murket was well supplied with bome grown fruit. Apple trces come into bearing the sccond year after thoy aro set out und pears, plums, nectavines and grapes are produced in abundance, Figures Facts Are Founded On, ‘This spring the farmers of the county have beon adding to their orchards and it is no uncommon thing to fud a farmhouse with an orchard of from five to twenty acres, and n careful estimate shows that over 300,000 fruit trees wero planted this year in Red Willow. During the year 1891 “the yield of wheat was from 30 to 52 bushels per acro; rye, 4 to B0 per acre; bariey, 50 to 80, and in several ivstancos a much~ greater an.ount, one fleld averagiug 93 bushels per acre; oats, 60 to 90; corn 70 to 85 The gross procoeds of tho crop during 1801 of one acro paid for five acres of land, and many crops of 60 acres paid the purchase price of 160 acres. Beoom corn, canc, millet, Hungarian flax, buck- wheat and iufact all kinds of grain and Erasses aro grown with such success that ano good crop will enablo the farmer to pay 1he purchase price of his land, besides keop- ing his family and stock during tho vear. Vogetables aro easily grown and attain fargo sz and aro of the best quahity. Alfalfa is eown extensively in this county and nearly every farmer has from ten to 50 ucres of this most productive of the grasses, while soveral of our larger farmers huve 400 and 500 acres 1n alfalfa. ‘U'his can be cut two and threo times a vear and yields nearly two tons per acre to each cutting. It is greatly rolished by stock and is preferableto timothy or clover. Tho climate of southwestern Nobraska is all that could be desired. The uir is pure and lighe and 1ree from malaria. Tho sum- mer soasous are long with nights cool and refroshing. Spring opens early and a_large acreage is usually sown to wheav in Febru- ary. Tho fall boing dry the corn matures and rivens in good shape. This county 1 sottled vy Americans of the better class, quiet, industrious and poaceful citizous, 'woll oducated and law-abiding. here aro eighty-four school districts in tho county, and in each school is taught nine aonths i tho year by competent teachers, Sabbath scheol is held in uoarly all of thom and church services in many, Thero are two railrouds 1o tho county, which furnish ample facilities for tho trans® portation of the crops to tho various markots.

J. C. Russell, living five miles southgof McCook, has a'well improved farm of 240 acres, woll stocked with tha best thorough- bred cattle, horses and hogs. His motto is to_breed tha best, ns it brings a botter prica, and costs no moro to raise, Ho came 10 Red Willow county jn 1872 from Iowa, with loss than $1,000 in cash and stock, and today has his. land, surrounded by good fouce, good farm buildings, with horses, cottie and hogs that aro growing 1uto money overy day.

Yet here are life and scene of the greatest fascination: both hfe and scene of simplicity, beauty and grandeur, while romance and legend glow wondrously in overy tor, combe and stream; romance and legend the most winsome in all England.

Its geographio cobtour suggests tho strange silbouette of some couchant gigantio mastiff, or huge wild beast. 1t is easy to sea in_its southornmost outreaching its two powerful forefeet. In its northern coast line will be found its oraced and bristling back. In its most northern projection will be seen an ercot’and deflant tail. In fts eastern Devorshire boundary are its massive haunches and hind feot wedged against the eternal granite of Dovon. And its furthermost sea-split ocoan- battling promontory is the open mouth of tho stono leviathan, set savagely toward tho seething Scilly 1sles, forever lashed with spume and fumo of its interminhable battles with the Atlantic.
