George Tussing, who own a ranch
three miles west Of Roy in the foot
hills, came to town in his al We'd
nesday to meet his wife and two chill
dren who have been spending the past
ten days in Rupert visiting relatives.
He gave the Pilgrim a 12-mile lift
on the way in. Mr.. Tussing has 100
acres in winter wheat and is confident
that 100 acres of it will go a good
thirty bushels per acre. The entire
100 acres will give him better than
twenty bushels average to the acre.
Late rains helped the wheat in great
shape. but the best rain they had up
there was on the evening Of July 3.
This was a rain Of the soaking kind
and put the wheat in the best of shape
to stand a spell of dry weather. Mr..
Tussing also has in half an acre OF
potatoes. They are Of the Red Bliss
variety, the seed having been brought
in from Oklahoma by Charles Crit
fard. father-in-law of Mr.. Tussiug
These potatoes always return a gOOt
yield on the ranch in the foothills.

South and southeast of town the hum
of the header is heard in the hills.
All over the fields stacks of grain are
growing in number, and all the farm
ers are thankful for the late rains that
proved the redemption of the spring
wheat. In talking with numbers of
them the fact stands out that the dry
land farmer in Power county is an
optimist. Many an acre Of grain had
been given up as far as threshing was
concerned, but now it will give a better
than fair WELD and the farmers are
not at all dismayed.
