past year of about so, and we didn't get
any ne W railroad either.
Oats and barley that was sown in
February has gone through our March
winter and is looking as cheerful as
though it had been warm weather all
the time,
Some of the farmers are getting lit.
tie scared over the way the wheat is
growing. They are afraid the growth

that will hide jack rabbit right now,
and he doesn't have to get down on his
belly either to hide.
Last season we cut five crops of al.
falfa from the same field, and if this
season keeps up as 1t has started in we
are counting on at least seven or eight
cuttings this season.
NJ. G. Cavanaugh is having 80 acres

falfa. Mike is setting the pace for
others to follow in the alfalfa line.

are running the town, and is not slow
to let it be known either.
J. Il Gano of the county capital was
here one day last week helping While
and Jackson get big prices for their

enough profits in the sale and closed it
before many were sold.
It is reported that Rev. kirkpatrick
will be employed by the 9. z. church to
keep them in the straight and narrow
path. He did it for them seven or eight
years ago, and did it right. so we are
hoping he will get the place, for that
means good work and lots of it.
! Quite bit of corn planted, and some
coming up, and how do you guess this
would sound to way back east farmer
who is not able to even get to town to
,Iget bis mail on account of bad roads?
And even in some places it is so bad
