Return From East Trip

Mr.. and Mrs. Gordon B. Grove re-
turned Wednesday of last week from
a trip made by auto to Illinois,
Indiana and Michigan. They left the
Cudahy ranch here and went over
the Santa Fe trail from Fowler to
Kansas City, and on the return came
thru Nebraska by way of Denver
Colorado Springs and Pueblo. They
travelled 3400 on the trip and aver
aged 200 miles q day for travelling
time. In all that distance Mr.. Grove
stated that they had no auto trouble
except the breaking of a spring and
that was done at Palmer Lake on a
piece of the best road they found
during the whole journey. OF course
punctures and one blowout are not
termed trouble" and they had the
usual amount of that.
Mr.. Grove. who is manager of the
Cudahy Ranch Co. property In this
county. stated that crops looked good
in all the seven states he was in, and
especially the corn and wheat crops.
Those two were good in every place,
and inasmuch as the people at home
are to eat more corn and the boys in
France are to eat wneat the outlook
is good.
Roads were not very good except
in few places" said Mr.. Grove
Rains had caused them to be cut
up and thruout all the states the
farmers are so busy that the roads
were not dragged and as a result
they were rough. and many of them
very rough"
