The soil is rich and fertile. You can clear all the land you want. You can plant practically any crop you desire, and it will grow with great vitality. There are unspoiled streams everywhere. The water is pure and good, and may be diverted to irrigate your fields. The wilderness is full of game, and there is no possible shortage of meat. The people are happy and busy, and prosperous."
