Large Number of Cattle Shipped
From Oelrichs of Late.
The past week has seen,'quite a
movement of cattle from this part Of
the county in spite of the fact that
the market was lower. Many are re-
ducing their herds and some cleaning
up altogether as the barb wire fences
are rapidly taking up the range.
Those holding cattle over to another
year live mostly in the rougher parts
of the country and quite distance
from the towns. Almost every, kind
of beef was shipped, calves, COWS,
steere and bulls, lean and fat, which is
pretty sure sign that a cleanup is
being made in many cases. One
special train was loaded Saturday
and two more Monday.

GOOD CROPS.

Fall River County Crops the Best in
Years.
The crops in Fall River county this
year, taken as whole, will be the best
ever raised in this section The small
grain yield, reports show to be ex-
ceptionally good, speltz has been turn
ing out between thirty and thirty Eve
bushels per acre, barley between
thirty and forty and wheat about
eighteen bushels per acre. oats is big
crop, averaging between twenty five
and thirty bushels per acre Corn
will be very good crop. Better crops
may be expected In future years,
should weather conditions be- as
favorable as they have been the past
season, for the reason that the
numerous new settlers will become
more acquainted with the country, it's
climate and what is more important
the methods Of dry farming. Farms
that are situated near enough to
streams to be irrigated, will produce
as much and even more than Iowa
land, but the uplsnds. to be farmed
right, will have to be handled very
much different than eastern farms,
where more rain falls, sltho this year
good crops have been raised regard.
less of location.
II both the new settlers and the
business people of the county will be
little conservative, until they are sure
of at least another good crop, Fall
River county will have prosperous
future. The amount of rainfall for a
number of years has steadily increased
and there is every reason to believe
the conditions are fast becoming ideal
for q good farming country.
