acres Of wheat,1 II Of oats,6 of corn. s Of mill
let and several acres Of garden truck, con-
sisting of the necessary marketable vege.
tables. have also one Of the finest potato
patches in the country. Atpresent every
thing Is looking great; in fact, 1t would be
next to an impossibility to be otherwise.

will astonish you.

Valley, and from South Dakota come cons.
tant petitioners for rain. But the Missouri
slope never looked so well. We had q fair
crop here last year while the frost destroy.
