not have done much harm I'm some parts
Of South Carolina that we have seen.
The cotton did not come up at all and
there was an. excellent crop Of crab
grass which provident farmers con-
verted into hay. We believe the hay
crop this year will be the best in the
country's history. The peavine hay
crop is nearly twice as large as the
best fomer crop.
According to the Hurtsboro, Ala,
Tribune a farmer who owned banker
$1,000 took the bank man to his farm
and pointed out 100 acres I'm peanuts.
The banker was so imposed with the
wonderful sight that he made the
farmer the proposition to cancel his
note and give $1,000 additional for
the peanuts as they stood. The far
mer accepted. Already the banker has
sold the peanuts for $6,S0O and has
S1.SO0 worth Of fine hay OH hand
The boil weevil cam1otresfst such

Extracts from Letter to Friends Give
Climpses of How California Looks
to Michiganders

We have been permitted to make the
following extracts from letter sent
by Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Buell. to Mr.. and
Mrs. Warner Leavenworth, which, we
are sure, will prove very interesting to
their many friends here. The letter
was written the latter part of January:
Dear Friends:
We hear you have had some cold
weather, but we have had lots of rain.
1t has rained good share of the time
this month and we are getting sick of
it as we can't go anywhere. We were
out to the ocean one afternoon, IL
miles from here. They say they did
not have half as much rain last winter.
Flowers bloom, though, just the same.
Our niece brought us rose yesterday
from her yard, that measures Is inches
around; it is a beauty. Grass is foot
high. They sowed oats on a vacant lot
near here recently and they are grow
ing finely. They are planting gardens
again now. 1t don't freeze here but
sometimes there IS chilly air this
rainy weather that we don't like, but
we can warm the house with an oil
heater. Have gas stove to cook on,
electric lights and water in the house,
making very pleasant place to live in.
We have both been sick with cold,
had to get used to the climate, l guess
Just paid our rent today for another
month; we think that will be about as
long as we will stay here; guess we will
start for home then This is beauti-
full place to live but it is not home.
We have relatives here so we don't
have a chance to get lonesome We
send you picture of the bungalow
we live in; it is on a corner. They have
such nice roads here autos can run all
the year and there are good many of
them. Will have to mail this now.
Hope to hear from you again.
From friends, Geo. Buell. and wife.
