into a carpet of green and indications
are that the harvest will be OF the
bumper variety. An immense num-
ber of power outfits are tearing up the
landscape and the husbandmen are
enthusiastic over their prospects for
the ensuing season. All of this terri
tory was veritable wilderness three
years ago and it is now dotted with
