THURSTON COUNTY'S PRIZE RANCH.
The praise given the A. l.. Brown
ranch at Sherlock by the immigration
agents of the Northern Pacific railroad
and particularly the earnest statement
made by L. ]. Bricker, general immi-
grafton agent of that railroad and one
of the most prominent railroad men of
the country, that it is "the finest ex-
ample of diversified farming he has
ever seen" in years of travelling all
over the United States, should arose
the pride of every resident of Thurston
county.
If these railroad men had had the
time to visit some of the smaller
ranches throughout the county, yours,
for example, or your neighbours, they
doubtless would have been just as
much surprised, for to one who does
not know the possibilities of this coun-
ty in the agricultural line visit to
any of it's ranches, even though brief,
will reveal results of which they had
never thought. But inasmuch as these
officials did not have the time for WIS.,
it's such as these, we all, as residents
of the county, should be very glad that
they had an opportunity to see our
prize ranch.
To have the finest diversified farm
in the United States is something
about which this county can "crow"
to every resident of the United States.
More than that, the fact that we have
such a ranch should be further in
centive to stimulate every farmer of
the county to make his farm the best
of it's kind in the county, whether 1t
be dairy ranch. fruit ranch, berry
ranch, or whatever it may be. Things
can be done in the best way on a
small scale just as well as when you
are farming $500 acres-let's make
every farm in the county the finest OF
it's kind!
