power on the place. Mr.. Chapman will
have SIS acres Of corn to cultivate,
Ia acres of spring wheat and 20 acres
of oats. He has been feeding con-
siderable amount of silage secured
from his father, Harold Chapman and
he says it's great feed. OF course the
owner of this farm could have $500
an acre if he would just say the word
but, '.nothin' doin'", he's building 1t
for keeps. sst @st-
''Rocky Rum, sparkling brook that
wends it's way down through Milford
township into East Boyer township,
and finally empties into the East Boy
er, is known by name over. a consld-
cradle portion of Crawford county, and
to- speak of farm cover on Rock Run"
is to just about describe the place so
that one has no trouble in locating
any given farm. We made a trip up
along the Rocky" last Thursday, and
made many new acquaintences. The
first stop made was at the old Brad
ley Lee place, first up from the Lin.
coin Highway, in section 80, Milford
township. This place is now owned
by Louie Witt, whom everybody knows
because he's a good mixer, has a good
word for everybody, and was born and
raised in Crawford county. The Wits
formerly lived east of where Schles-
wig now stands. For the past seven
years Louie has lived on the Lee 16O,'
and they. have been seven years of
prosperity and contentment And he
could double his money II he cared to
sell his farm, and he would not have
to leave the neighborhood to find a
buyer. Mr.. Witt has IS head of Du-
rocs, and 40 head of Angus and Polled
Durham cattle, and the stock Is look
ing fine, as good feed from tankage
corn and grass will make them. The
stock has the range of an excellent
pasture, through which Rocky Run"
majestically flows, and furnishes an
ample supply of water. Mr.. Witt has
in this season 50 acres of corn, of the
Yellow Dent variety, II acres of spring
wheat, and 30 acres Of oats. He has
not been bothered with cut worms, and
his crops look we'll. Last week he
shelled 300 bushels of corn and still
has about 400 bushels more to shell.
Two hundred and fifty Rhode Island
chickens were to be found at this
place, and they look as though they
were doing fine. The Wits have two
children, and the eldest, daughter,
has been attending the Denison City
schools. The boy we found to be a
bright little fellow, in the eighth
rural grade. ca ttssE
N Norman Inghram was in Omaha the
day we called at his place, where he
was looking after shipment Of butch
ers' stock, he had shipped the day pre-.
vfous. Mr.. Inghram has splendid
home, all modern, and always handles
considerable stock. He has about 100
head of Aberdeens on the place, and
they are of the better grade of this
particular breed of stock. Mrs. Ingh-
ram has in the neighborhcod of 500
young chickens including 300 hens.
She realizes a goodly sum from her
fowls and takes enjoyment in tending
to them. The Inghrams are now using
electricity from the Vail line, for
which Denison furnishes the current.
Another farmer we found enjoying
the convenience of electricity was Ell
.mer Mickey, who lives almost op-
posite the Norm Inghram place, Elmer
now owns the 100 acres, having pur-
chased it from his mother, and he has
it all paid for, and will now spend any
spare change he has in building up
the place. He expects to remodel the
house, and install a heating plant yet
