LOOKS LIKE BUSINESS.

G. w. Flemon has been here from
Caldwell for several days. Mr.. File
mon is investigating conditions on the
dry farms both north and south OF
here. He did not purchase but says
he intends to keep this section in mind
and will return again in the spring
He was surprised at what was done
here on our dry farms last year, hav~
ing lived in the state and knowing the
season was exceptionally dry. His
visit took him over the dry farm land
north where the big dry farm is locat
ed and also spent several days in the
south, and we judge that he seemed to
be more favorably impressed with the
condition in the Rockland valley than
to the north, but says both are GER
tainly doing great things for dry
farms. He expects to return nexl
spring and in the meantime will be
kept posted by the Press.
He impressed the writer as man
familiar with proper conditions anc
one who would be a judge of them
when he sees them. We are never
anxious for a man to make up his
mind for or against this section until
he has done as this man did in thi;
case-investigate thoroughly and be
come satisfied that he has found wha
he was looking for, then our commun
ity becomes settled with only salts

boast of.-American Falls Press.
