The farmer in northern Missouri speaks a different language than the delta agriculturist. And the Ozark people differ from all the rest. On one thing they all agree: Missouri is a great state! Missourians have a state pride as deep and fixed as any Texans. There are no deserts, no barren peaks in Missouri. Corn grows tall. states that yet markets tics, lumber, laths and shingles in large quantities, supporting more than 300 commercial sawmills. The state has the largest deposits of lead, zinc er ' ' rA.KV$Y5y , in issssIjv? and coal in the Middle West. It also has valuable clays, building stone and sands. Missouri produces about 42 per cent of the annual production of baryte for the United States. With its varied topography, Missouri has many scenic attractions. It has more than 240 recorded caves, many with several floors and some with underground streams. Besides its many natural lakes, it "has Lake of the Oaiks which was created by the Bagnell dam across the Osage river, built m 1921), This lake is 129 miles long with 1,300 miles of shore-- 1 line. Big Spring, with a measured daily flow of 640,000,000 gallons, is All the largest in the world. streams and lakes are stocked with fish, and the hunting of quail, aucks and other birds is widespread. The forests and hills of the Ozark moun- tains are nationally famous. Spanned by Railroads. Missouri is one of the leading railroad states of the nation, being served by 13 trunk line roads Agricultural products of Missouri billion include two and one-hapounds of beef annually; one billion pounds of pork; four billion pounds of milk; one million pounds of chickens; besides eggs, sheep, cotton, wool, corn, wheat, tobacco, soy beans and other crops From its rich historical background, Missouri has emerged lf LAND OF THE OZARKS . . .

Today it resembles Yazoo valley of Mississippi, with some of the richest soil in the world. First came the woodsmen who cut down the trees m the swampland. Next came a few settlers who were successful with diversified farming. In 1923 southern planters and share- - 0 1& and other products are important industries. Both Kansas City and St. Louis rank high as wholesale distribution centers for the entire is - ri : croppers, running away from the the inc ist, wl places the alluvial muck had been as much as 200 feet thick. More than two million acres of Swampeast today are drained by great ditches. What was once worthless swamp land is now worth up to BARBS known. Today it has 400,000 acres in cotton, which, although only two per cent of Missouris farm land, makes cotton the states leading cash crop. One of the largest developments, consisting of more than 1,000 miles of ditches which dram 550,000 acres, is the Little River drainage $1,000 an acre!
