They are always wives of successful farmers observing school teachers and clerks in real estate offices who can furnish good stories.
 In the first place we want each writer to tell where she came from. how long she has lived in the locality from which she writes How much land she owns or they own. if she is married. she should tell the first price of the land and what it cost to put it into money producing crops. also what the land is worth at the present. time She should tell of school an1 church privileges. she should write of the good roads. the home markets and railway facilities. She should tell what kind of ranch and farm houses they have in the neighbOrhood, and something about the superior conveniences in them over those left behind in the localities she and her neighbors came from.
 The value of each writers story will be enhanced very much if each adds to her own story an account of the Snc- cesSes of a few of her ncighbors We desire tn have these stories bv April at the latest.
