S. E. Berg, living on Big Bear ridge
east of Troy, reports all crops doing
fine in that section, with the exception
of beans and field corn. Says that
the nights have been a little too cool
for beans and corn. Corn generally
goes thirty-five bushels to the acre in
that part of the country.
Ole A. Johnson, of Texas ridge, was
in Troy Thursday. He says crops, es-
pecially fall wheat, are looking fine,
and that timothy is better than it was
last year. You can't beat the Potlatch
for big yields and there is no section
where a good crop is more certain. In
spite of this land values are low com
pared with the prices prevailing in
other sections.
To the man Of moderate means NO
section on earth offers such excellent
opportunities as the territory tributary
to this point. Lands are far below
their real worth, and then there is
much pine land uncleared where the
energetic man can in few years clear
out good home. This land is with
in the reach OF the man of little means.
While clearing pine lands the farmer
can usually make a living; some make
considerable money out of wood. By
including dairying and chickens, with
few hogs, there is no reason why any
man Of reasonable energy can not
do well. If the settler is looking for
something fine, let him also come to
Troy and visit the ridges south and
east. Here is the finest land on earth,
improved to perfection, and fit to salts
fly the most exacting. No section Of
fers more variety of soil and climate
than the Poflatch, nor can any section
boast Of a greater fertality Of soil and
better climate. You can find just whaI
you want in the vicinity of Troy.
