Forest Draws Moisture

Jack Kfnzie of Mill Iron, near the
town of Baker, attributes part OF
the unusual success of his farming
to his proximity to the forest reserve.
He says the moisture from the re-
serve sub-irrigates his place and
makes possible the big red apples,
heavy hay crops and record grain
yields. His apple trees are so heavily
loaded this year he has to prop the
limbs up off the ground. He has
cut two crops of alfalfa and expects
to market several hundred pounds of
seed from the third growth.
