it some recently and there are big
crops in every section. Usually we
raise a big wheat crop and have a
corn failure, or raise big corn crop
and have wheat failure, but we gre
going to raise a big crop of corn and
have already harvested an extraordi-

in the state will be able to start q

uncashed warrants now In the office
of the auditor are two belonging to

Eighth district The warrants were
for services performed by Murdoch
