crops are short this season on
account of the rabbits but it is
certainly a fine place with mag
nifcent spring and sufficient
water to irrigate. They have
about 100 head of young hogs
that will likely find their way to
the packing plant this fall. The
party found the roads better
than anticipated and didn't find
many rabbits therefore the boss
didn't get as much fun out of
the trip as he had hoped, The
crops on several of the places
around Harvey seemed to have
turned out well. Archie went
with the flock" to see that they
made the trip in safety in a Ford
and also to guard Sam Tether-
