Crops Of All Kinds
Cheerful Colonies of Hay and Grain
Stacks Growing Up All Around
Prosperity Hunts Its Victims

One of the most cheerful sights
that has ever yet been seen on the
Richfield tract, is that of big stacks
Of alfalfa and grain going up all owe
this section. 1t is to be considered
that this is really the first full crop
year that this tract has known. Last
year theree was enough water for
the crops, even though theer was a
little shortage late in the season for
fall irrigation. But since it was not
assured early in the year that there
would be full supply, compara-
lively little ground was cultivated,
and of this the acreage that was
really well tended was very small
But now there is more than suf-
ficient supply Of water The wateer
was stored in the reservoir beforee
the irrigation season opened; all
the water so far distributed---and
this is the middle of July---has been
likelihood water from the open river,
thee storage being untouched. With
all this water at hand, assured from
the beginning of the season, the far
mer has been encouraged to put in
and care for his crops; and the re-
suit is seen in the many stacks of
hay and grain already built and
the many fields yet unharvested.
While there is not yet enough
live stock to warrant an excessive
production of alfalfa, theere is no
crop that promises better returns,
when the farmers are able to utilize
it to its best. With cows, or steers, |
or horss, or hogs, to feed the pro-
duct on the farm where it is grown,
alfalfa is the universal money-mak-
