John skoglund, who owns the south
west quarter of section 50, recently
bought the Torginson quarter adjoln-
ing his place on the east: John had a
deep we'll put down on his place this
summer and was fortunate in striking
a fine flow at depth of 292 feet. By
putting a reducer on the pipe the
water spouts upward a distance of
twenty feet, making this one of the
finest flowing wells in the country
John now has one of the most deslr-
able farms in this section OF the state
He obtained about 300 bushels of ex-
cellent seed wheat from one of his
fields this season. His oats went 80
bushels per acre and besides he has a
fine field of potatoes, so we have no
hesitancy in saying that worry has no
place in the Skogland household this
season.
