great big need OF talkin' with our

We have finally located insWhitman

six miles from the city Of Moscow, a

and they are 10 oW paving the streets.
There is a fine stone quarry one mile
out Of the city. They have a steam

this packs the crushed rock to make a

The men that we bought out have
just finished cutting wheat. They
cut with.a header and after the eyssget
started two or three days, they start
zathreshing, machine and when they
are done cutting theyiare about done
.threshing. The wheat on our ranch
went forty bushels per acre and the
oats and barley seyenty-five2 bushels.
They had $4,000 bushels of wheat On
the ranch this year. There is no rust
on the grain here and wheat that is
not cut yet and has been ripe for two
months stands up as straight as an
arrow Some. Of it is as high as my
head. With the ranch we got three
orchards loaded with fruit. There is
a flowing spring on, every eighty OF
the section ofland which we bought.
We paid $23 :anEacre. We got all Of
the fruit and all OF the straw and two
acres Of potatoes. The ranch is all
