Yolo County has the lowest tax levy in the

The head philosopher of the Santa Rosa Re

According to the Tacoma Ledger wheat is on
a boom up that way, as the following para
graph Will show: "The wheat crop of Wash
ington this year will be the largest in its his

people after 1t comes here. This OF itself will
make great change for the better in every
business, because when the farmers are pros

In the Tulare Register few days ago ap-
peared the following paragraph, a careful
perusal OF which will reveal some interesting
facts:
Tulare farmer remarked the other day that he
had tried grain-rasing when wheat was worth
81 40 per Genital, and he had tried 1t when 1t was
worth only 10 cents, and somehow h always
came out about the same end of the horn what

grain he was not doing much else and although the
WORK OF raising grain did not take half his time
