LAND ONLY DAMAGED SLIGHTLY
Postmaster at Odessa Makes Statement
Regarding Sand Running Farms
and Crops.

Odessa, Wash.-Considera indig-
nation has been aroused among the
farmers and business men of the Odes
sa country over an article printed in
the dailies of this state saying this
year the sand had blown over the
farms, running the crops and covering
the fences and that the farmers had
given up in despair and were thinking
of leaving their lands.
That few people residing in a
sandy district have been seriously af-
fected by the wind this season is true,
but the conditions existing southwest
of Odessa are no worse than those
found in many other localities of the
Big Bend and that the same has been
exaggerated at least fourfold in the
article referred to is self evident to
all that are at all familiar with the
affected district
There were only 1900 acres, or four
and one-sixteenth sections out of sew
enteen sections, affected by sand, and
it is well known fact that consider
able wheat is being harvested on some
of the above described land. The
writer knows of one-half section of
this land that was reseeded from which
is now being harvested a two-thirds
crop, or about 20 bushels per acre.
The talk of desertion of this land is
ridiculous If any are of the opinion
that such is the case let them attempt
to purchase any of it and they will
change it Immediately. The entire
cause of the situation this season was
series of the heaviest winds that has
ever prevailed in this section in the
recollection of the oldest inhabitant
Only one year prior to this has any
damage been done from that cause
and then it was only slight.

Market Gardener Wins Out.

At one of the feature competitions
of the Spokane Interstate fair, which
will be held this year September 20 to
rs, year after year a market gardener
beats the efforts of ell competitors to
grow asters that will compare with his
productions The aster show is held
the first two days of the fair, and is
not altogether society event. Many
householders who care not how the
world ways block away from their
homes raise asters for the aster show;
much as Hollanders raise tulips in Hol-
land. And society women do the same.
They take the lesser prizes. The big
silver cup goes to one ebony" mar
ket gardener, every year; and in reply
to a wistful query the other day from
an intending exhibitor Tony expressed
calm assurance that he would annex
the silver cup again this year.
