George Madsen, who came from Wis
consin about two years ago and has
since been operating the old Paddock
ranch near Bel6eld, reports that he
has had excellent results with every
crop he has tried to raise and sees no
reason why any crop that will grow in
any of the eastern states cannot be sue
cessfully raised in this country. His
potatoes yielded at the rate of 600
bushels per acre, peas were an excellent
crop, we'll filled and as high as a mans
head, while his beans and other crops
were better than he raised in the east.
MI. Madsen has 200 head of cattle at
his ranch in fine condition and has fed
the animals but three or four times this
winter.
