Albert Head, President of the State Agricultural Society, answers does farming pay in a masterly exposition. The record asserts prosperity of town and presents a sweeping overthrow of slanders against farming, showing Iowa not a bankrupt.
Capt. Tend of the Towa Agricultural Society shares a Missouri Horticul tural Society secretary’s view that Iowa farming remains prosperous. He cites Iowa’s corn leadership, value of the 1890 corn crop near 100 million dollars, extensive state development, and widespread wealth from farm products, railroads, and public works. He argues against claims of widespread unprofitability and stresses enduring corn profits and farm wealth building across the state.
A circulated critique from Wright county mocks Governor Bales by recounting a Norwegian writer’s tale of a farmer’s rise from poverty to wealth. It claims the farmer’s success stems from hard work, with 240 acres and plaster, underlines December 28 sales, and contrasts county fortunes with statements about income and property.
