Farmers Clearing More Land

DIR. E. E. Fry is the authority for
the statement that this year the
ranchers of Boundary county have
at least twenty per cent more land
under cultivation than last year. He
says that in going about the county
to make his professional calls he
notes that nearly every farmer is
making a special effort to clear up
new land and that every acre of land
which may be used is being put into
crops. In DR.. Fry's opinion the sea
son of 1917 will be a banner one in
Boundary county and the success of
the season will tend to encourage
further clearing and cultivation in
future years.
