Mr.. and Mrs. Charlie Mckenzie and
children returned Saturday from an
extended motor trip through Mime
sofa and Iowa. Charlie says that
nowhere in his travels did he see any,
thing in the farming line better than
we have right here in Ward county.
He says that farm buildings in Iowa
are inferior as rule to similar struc-
lures in Dakota. He saw very fey
gardens that compare with Minot gar
dens. Corn in Iowa is excellent. Oats
were turning out around SO bushels
per acre. Their wheat is practically
nil. They are cutting immense guam
titles of hay this season has been
wet and therefore favorable to it's
growth. Minnesota, he says, does not
show as good crop conditions as Iowa.
The McKenzies made the entire trip
of 1400 miles by auto and travelled
leisurely, camping out wherever the
mood struck them and they say that
motoring thru the lake districts Of
! Minnesota is DELIGHTFUL.
