AN ANSWER TO INQUIRIES.

Numerous inquiries have recently been receiv
ed at the New York and Fhllade lphla offices of
the "Mercantle and Financial Times" asking
for information as to the methods and business
of the Storey Cotton Company, whose general
offices are located in the Bourse Building, Phiia
delphia as well as to the GeSrabliity and value
of an investment made with this company. On
several occasions in the past there appeared i'll
these columns extended and favorable retert nces
to this company from the pen of our Phadel-
mia correspondent, and we have carefully watch-
ed the progress and operations OF the company
in order to determine whether his commentator
was i,s itied by subsequent Developments
Justice to a worthy corporation requires that
we should extend the editorial endorsement OF
this paper to this company at the present time,
and to say that it has more than fulfilled every
claim originally advanced in its behalf. 1t Is only
simply truth and justice to say that the manage
ment of the company is today entitled to tie
highest praise and conImendaton Tor the con-
scientious and straightforward manner in which
they have carried out all their obligations to
those who have become identified with the en-
terprise as investors, and we are fully warranted
in making the assertion that no financial or III
vestment institution in the country can show
cleaner more satisfactory or honorable record
in its liberal treatment of investors and the pub
lie at large than the Storey Cotton Company.
We are much gratied, of course, that the
later development of the company's business
and its fair and equitable methods have justified
the early predictions of our Philadelphia corre-
spondent and it is equally a pleasure to add that
the company are today stronger and better able
to carry out their obligations than at any time III
the past. We have the utmost confidence III the
Judgment and discretion OF our Phildelphia cor
respondent, who has been the regular represent
tatye of this paper in that city Tor more than a
quarter of a century past; and as he mas peeh
thoroughly converSant with the business OF the
Storey Company from its inception, as we'll as It's
nlans and methods its financial stability and the
high character of its management, his unquah-
fed endorsement of the same naturally carries
great weight.
The record of the Storey Cotton Company is
one that can be assailed in no particular what
ever; its treatment of its clients has always been
eminently fair and just and it has never made
promise that has not been fulfilled to the letter.
We can only emphasize the fact that an invest
ment made with this company possesses every
essential element of security and remuneration,
and we are confident that those who make sueh
investments will place their money in an enter
rise where every possible safeguard is thrown
around the prdcipal and where large earnings
are assured beyond any reasonable doubt.

The hair is one of the greatest promoters of

EDITOR REPoRTER:-I would like to
write few lines to your most valuable
paper. Once in while l see letter
from some guy from here and don't
think he has given just dues about high
winds and hot weather. ] have
lived in Blair county for over year,
twenty miles west of Kingfisher on the
prairie. 1t is fine wheat county and
the wind and heat has not been bad
since we have lived here. Men aad
horses stand the heat in harvest fields
much better than in Iowa. 1t is not SO
oppressive here as there and we have a
cool breeze most of the time. will
just give you little idea what
, men can do here at farming. One Of my
Ineighbors who owns half a section Of
land and has boy 10 years old, put in
| 100 acres of wheat last fall. When it
was threshed it made $500 bushels. 1t
don't take much capital to raise wheat
outside of labor. 100 bushels for seed
|
sowing. The man whose farm joins
mine helped me thrash $500 bushels of
wheat and 1000 bushels Of oats. He
did all his reaping with three horses.
One of our ncghbors who owns a three
quarter section of land did all his
work alone except a negro that he hired
to shock his grain for him, and had his
threshing done. 5000 bushels of wheat
and 400 oats, besides 40 acres of corn
and tended it all by himself. How is
that for one man? Can Iowa beat that?
Wheat is worth 60 cents bushel and
you can find from 1000 to 1000 bushels
on every farm here. ] have seen more
labor spent on 40 acres to raise crop
in Iowa than it takes to raise 100 acres
of wheat here. am getting old and
have farmed for over 80 years and know
what am talking about. have farmed

have lived in Canada five months
aboat fifty miles north from Calgary,
Alberta, at a station named Didbury.
l sold my farm here and went up
there with my family, but am back
here again. I was very much disap-
pointed in my expectations for the
conditions are not as l have been told.
The summer is altother too short for
farming with profit. I arrived there
on the 18th of April and the ground
was not thawed out more than three
inches, the winters ice was still on
the water and the frost did not get
out of the ground until June 10th. It
showed the three first days Of May,
about IS inches having fallen. In
the month OF June it showed three
times. The land is very swampy and
there is scarcely a quarter section
anywhere except there is a large
water pond on it. This makes the
roads almost impossible in the spring
and first part of summer. There are
willows growing on most of the land
and this makes it hard to break. Har-
vest (oats and barley does not come
until September. Spring wheat can
not be raised and most Of the oats
will freeze before ripening. The sane
may be said Of potatoes. Winter
wheat and rye can be raised but it
takes two years to get one crop. The
seed must be sown so early in the
summer that it is impossible to raise
more than one crop in two years. /
would not advise anyone to go up
there with a family without having
Investigated the situation. unless he
has lots of money SO that he can get
started in stock, because without
stock people cannot live there. To
farm to sell grain will not go. Here
from this country there were eight
men went last spring, some with
families and some without. They all
went up here to stay, but four have
already came back and two more will
come on March Goth. The other two
will remain there. It is very true
that the land is raising in price, but
what is the reason7 Spectators buy
the land in hope Of profit thereon but
not to live on, and they raise the price.

IRRIGATION.
Government Expert Coming to North Da-
To Look Around.

Washington, April &c. C. Babl
of the geological survey, who is in
charge Of the Milk river irrigation
project in Montana, will leave Wash
ington early next week for North Da-
kota, where he will look over the
ground with a view to future irriga-
ton in that state.
Nothing has been done there as yet
under the provision Of the irrigation
act. He will establish several sur
veying parties in North Dakota and
then go to his work in Montana.
MI. Babb says the construction on
the Milk river PROJECT may begin this
year, though probably not until the
season of 1904. The surveys neces-
sary for this tremendous scheme have
been going on during the last two
seasons.
