T VIM. Jensen of Stanchfeld, MINI.
visited with Lafayette friends for several
days last week and paid the Review a
pleasant call. Mr.. Jensen says that
there has been great deal of rain in the
vicinity Of Stanchfeld which lies east
of the Mississippi River in the sandy
central portion Of the state. Potatoes
form the chief crop there, and they are
the best in the world grown as they are
in the clean sand. It can rain a
deluge in that country in the forenoon
and in the afternoon the dust will be
flying. This makes the right sort of
conditions for the potato farmer and
those who make their living in this
business have done we'll enuf in that
country to have the best of homes
with every comfort and convenience.
We asked Mr.. Jensen if he had put in
any corn and he replied, ooh, perhaps
an acre and half and if we had asked
about other small grains the answer
would have shown proportionately
small amount, the only object in raising
these crops being for feed for the few
animals that are required for the work
in the potato fields.
