RICHLAND DEPARTMENT

ed last week by which the finest five
acre tract of land in this district
changed hands. Harry Moore, ditch
rider for the irrigation company and
his brother-in-law, George Klatt, pur-
chased the Fred Servoss tract, the
consideration being $4,000 which is
most reasonable when the condition
of the place is considered. This small
farm is the show place of the Rich
land district, an ideal example of in
tensive farming, Mr.. Servoss having
grown small quantity of pracrlcally
all marketable crops to which this
climate is adapted on his little farm,
and having grown them to his finan-
cial profit. He had the reputation of
having farm without weed and
the new owners will have to be on the
job day and night to live up to the
standard he has set them.
