Editor Republican
Replying to your request to let
you hear from me, I write these
few lines TO let you know we are
getting along fine and like the
country We are living in Very much
And while memories OF dear old
Saline r still fresh In my mind,
Wyoming possesses a charm that
soon fastens itself to ones affec-
tons, and the country already be-
gins TO seem like home.
Primarily I would say that this.
country is conducive to the best
Of health Myself and family could
not wish for better than we haxei
enjoyed during our residence In
the Big Horn Basin
We live In n valley or more prop
erly "bcnch" land along the west
side OF the Big Horn River This
land Is watered by the Big Horn
Co Caral which Is, by Sie way
the best canal in the state OF Wy
oming Il furnishes an abundance
Of water for irrigating purposes,
from the first of April to the first
of November
According to contract between
the company and the state, the
canal was turned over TO the farm
ers this spring and 1t Is 10Y own
ed and operated by them This
land Is | think, the most fertile to
be found anywhere, rich In all
the mineral qualities, and quickly
supplied with humus from alfalfa
which grows luxurious on this
soil
| have on my farm some land as
yet untouched by the pillow, which
| intend TO put into cultivation
next year My crops consist OF IS
acres wheat, 40 acres oats, 25 acres
alfalfa, and 4 acres potatoes These
crops with the exception of the
alfalfa were planted since my ar
rival
The wheat is not yet threshed
but II 1t does not yield as much "a
700 bushels, get all the beerAI
mean soda pop-I can drink from
my neighbors The oats are not
quite ripe, being irrigated the first
time during the first week of July
and my rneighbors say they. win
40 bushels to the acre The
potatoes r fair considering that
they were planted the first week
in June, and are not through grow
ing yet They will grow until
frost stops them
The planting OF crops at these
ungodly seasons may seem strange
to you, but 1t is common thing
In this country II is not that the
people here r not thrifty, but
that 1t Is is quite a job to develop
an irrigated farm, that causes the
delay When developed, 1t is an
easy matter to operate an irrigat-
iarm' and the certainty of.se-
curing large crops each year make
It a pleasure

duces the abundant crops We have
