BIG CORN CROP
IN lone COUNTRY

Make mprOvements.-Other
News Notes From Our
lone Writer.

w. F. Honey of the Oregon Dakota
Land Company has been in lone dur
ing the past week. He is arranging
to have the various houses on the
company's lands painted up and put
in more presentable appearance and
has sent out the material to care for
at least seven different residences
While out north the first of the week
Mr.. Honey gathered in some fine
samples of dry land corn and for
warded a bunch of the matured ears
to the head of the company in Dako-
at. A part of the the corn came
from the Newlon-Smith dry farm
ortheast of Lexington and other sam
Piles were from the Hale ranch still
farther north and across Sand Hollow
/ hich is now being operated by anoth-
er dry-land enthusiast. This may
have been an exceptionally good year
for corn owing to more moisture than
common during the growing season,
but the samples shown by Mr.. Honey
fully demonstrated that corn of ex-
cellent quality can be raised in that
part of the county without irrigation
and it is a paying crop. A silo will
be put up on the Hale place, so Mr..
Honey states and the present owner
contemplates going into dairy stock
quite extensively. The proper treat
ment of the soil out that way with a
view to conservation of moisture will
bring about excellent returns and we
are gratified to note the good results
so far obtained.
