To Build a Gin.-In view of the

be financed by local capital and it
is thought that it will be completed
in time to handle next seasons crop.
Mr.. Kring also stated that there are
a number of new settlers coming in
now and that several houses are now
under course of construction. Fifty
or sixty teams and large force of
men are now at work clearing land
and preparing it for cultivation. A
great many beans are now being
shipped from there, and the farmers
are averaging $500 per acre net on
their bean crop. There are some
thing like thirty acres in onions and
cabbage and with the present prevail
ing weather conditions, crop condi-
