was here several days last week and

over some Of the chi0ce farm lands in

Elmer Olson, a new farmer arrival
here, was in the village Monday morn
ing with a choice batch of farm pro-
dQce Mr., Olson came from Iowa last
spring and took a contract for farm
near town, Although he has not
heen on the place long there are
Llenty of evidences that a new man
IS n charge. ~ think there is toe
much wheat raised here said Mr..
Olson in discussing his impressions of
the country. More live stock, hogs
and corn Will do wonders for land in
Stevens county. / expect to increase
! the corn acreage as soon as / get
the ground in shape and this may
require another year or two. In Iowa
where they raise corn and live stock
land prices have gone So high one
cannot rent farm and make it pay"
MIR. Olson also thinks the farms here
. are too large, Smaller tracts can
be famed better and more economi-
cally, he thinks, While in town
Monday Mr. Olson took occasion to
place his name on the Tribune sub
scription list. He has looked over all
the various county papers and pays
the Tribune a high compliment by
stating it is the newsiest and most
attractively arranged country paper
he mas seen in this section of the
state.
