was left in sagebrush until three years

There are at present 80 acres alfalfa,

of pears, apples, peaches and cherries,
and one acre in grapes. An oner OF
s4OO an acre has been refused for
portion of this farm Hay has been
the money producer on that kenne-

last season was between 600 and 700
tons. Timothy gave a return OF six
tons to the acre. That hay Is In de-
mand at SIS a ton. Mixed clover and
timothy sell at the farm for $15 ton.
Alfalfa is the standard crop and
ranges about $40 or more a ton. IL
is easy to figure out how that farm
Is worth $4,000. 1t was only desers
