den. i am teaching school as usual. The
outlook is splendid. never saw better
prospects in all my life. We are troubled
a great deal with gophers. They are worse

matter, and right away, too.

crop this year-95 acres of wheat, 80 Of

enough to cultivate now. I had it in be-
fore the late snow, and after that it shot
right up. When I go out in the country
and see a farmer in the road. always
take circle out of the way, for know he
will be rich man in the fall and want
to show him due respect. The other day l

inmate the gophers, which are troubling
us great deal, and the first pop out of
the box my fine dog got onto the poison
and turned on his back.
