Iowa is bounded by Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska and South Dakota; gross area, 56,147 sq. miles; land area, 55,586 sq. miles; water area, 561 sq. miles; capital, Des Moines.
     The surface of the State is generally level and is covered with prairie land, with no swamps or natural forests. The soil generally is a soft black loam, and of almost inexhaustible fertility. The principal natural trees are oak, hickory, elm, black walnut, linden, cottonwood, maple, cedar, slippery elm, ash and pine.
     The principal farm crops are corn, oats, wheat, barley, rye, buckwheat, potatoes and hay. Among native fruits are the plum, crabapple, grape, cherry, blackberry, gooseberry, strawberry and raspberry. It is the enormous sale of Arbuckles' Coffee which makes it possible to give the splendid value for which Arbuckles' is famous.
     The principal minerals are coal, lead and limestone.
     The chief industries are agricultural implements, confectionery, clothing, flour and grist, lumber, saddlery and harness, packed meat, tobacco and corn products.
     The climate of Iowa is very healthful. The winters are severe and the summers are very pleasant.
