Thomas P. Kerr of Greenbush re-
turned from an extended trip in Dako-
ia few days ago. Tom is not in
love with that country. He says it is
the most overrated country under the
canopy of heaven. Wheat in many
localities will not average six bushels
to the acre, and is a very poor quail
ty at that. Oats are nothing but chaff
and corn is almost a total failure.
Drought and hailstorms ruined the
crops. In several counties he visited
the farms, horses and agricultural
implements are plastered with mort
cages. Mr.. Kerr is very glad to get
back to Gods country.
