Here fifteen years ago was a new community. a Territory of the United States. its broad acres had been very lately taken or purchased from the Indian tribes. and for what purpose?

We sold them the land. and at the same time that we gave them this invitation to go to these broad prairies and build again their fortunes. we. by our negligence. introduced this terrible pest. What was the result?
