Wheat in his locality went from 40
to IS bushels per acre; oats about 80
bushels on an average. One hundred
bushels of potatoes were grown on a
quarter of an acre Of land; twelve po-
tatoes weighed 80 pounds. His horses
run out all winter, and come in fat.
He raised excellent corn, and fat
tened hogs on it. He concludes an

are schools in every district. The
people here are most all hustlers and

half section stood a little 12x14 shack,
