n. C. Falkner, who is farming what
comes under the class of a dry ranch,
on the foothills just east of town, has
a crop of grain this year that is equal
to anything the most favorably situat-
ed farm could produce. Stalks of
grain from the Faikner place can be
seen in the First National bank. The
heads are large and full, giving prom
ise of very heavy yield. And that is
the kind of grain that is reported from
all the surrounding country. With a
good price this Fall the farmer should
be in for handsome clean up. He
has it coming, too for the seasons up
this way are not always as favorable
as the present one.
