good neys to the people OF Valley

Saco Observer: The tale OF the
thresher in and about Saco demon
strates the fact that there is no better
section OF country for the raising OF
small grains in the United States than
the vicinity of Saco. A number OF
the grain raisers have threshed out
better than sixty bushels of al to the
acre, and Albert Tinney's crop went
better than eighty bushels per acre.
If dry land farming will produce such
results. irrig alton should make It the
banner grain growing country of the
world.
Unreasonable.
