granger. He is particularly elated on the
crop outlook in the southwestern part of the
state, and AYERS that he will be satisfied if

vited to visit Mr., Sevatson and test this years
crop the coming fall. Leaving the topic of
farming, Senator Sevatson branehed off into

would be assured by large majority. He is
one of tbs best men in the state, thoroughly
