A LETTER FROM THE
LOUIS s. KOCH.
LONE STAR STATE.

LONE STAR STATE.
Hedley, Texas, March 25.-Dear
Friend Beal: You will find a check
enclosed for the Message. My wife
and 1 could not get along without
the Message.
We had a windy March day today.
Our winter has been a dry, mild one.
There has been very much sickness.
Everybody had the grippe. Jimmie
had an attack of rheumatism, could
not walk. But he is all o. X. again
now. Nearly all the farmers are at
their work. Some have planted
corn. 1 have so acres broken for
planting. We are all wishing for
rain. The ground is plowing hard.
Land is changing hand In this place
some this winter, and the price is
still advancing. A large crop OF
grain was raised last year. The cot
ton was ruined and calves dying, a
ranchman told me that he had lost
total of 500 head this winter
Some of my neighbors have lost heav-
| lily. have lost four of my best ones,
even after had vaccinated. I don't
think so much of vaccination any
more.
am sending you a picture of our
native rabbits, shown in the picture
as snow-bound, feeding on chaI and
grain where the thresher is stand
ing from it's use last fall. 1 wish
you might print this picture in your
Message. 1t shows a sample of our
big rabbits. They beat Phil Shire's
bull frogs down on the Lea for size,
and they don't make any squawking
noise.
Our market on produce is better
now. Eggs, 30 cents dozen; butter,
25 cents a pound. hens, 1S 1-2 cents
a pound, and hogs and cattle too
high to mention. Corn, 75 cents,
cafir and maize about rs cents per
hundred. Donley county is not far
behind Audrin in produce, Is it7 But
1 can say it is ahead in sunshine and
dry roads and Ford automobiles.
They are sure in demand. I have
been running one since last August.
We go to town in 10 minutes. No
clay or mud to contend with. The
more rain the better the roads are,
and the dryer it gets the more dust
t we have. So you see every place
has its faults.
would like to have a word or
two from from all OF my friends in
0 different parts of the world. l sure
y enjoy reading their letters occasion
I ally found in the Message. Tell US
!. about yourselves and about your
country.
