trict for some time was completed in
Tacoma last Saturday when F. J.
O'Brien sold his 60-acre alfalfa farm
to parties from the Coast.
The new owners will not move here
! until fall as they are interested heav-
lily in the dairy business and cannot
make move at this time. The hay
grown on the tract at Richland will
be shipped to the Coast to feed their
large herd of dairy cattle.
Germaine Arristouihl, who has
worked on the tract for Mr.. O'Brien
for the past year, will continue to
manage the farm for the new owners.
The price received for the tract was
a record one for land in this vicinity
and will undoubtedly be the means of
interesting other dairymen from the
Coast in the Richland district.
Mr.. O'Brien was not at all anxious
to dispose of the farm and will buy
more raw land shortly which he will
Immediately put into crop as he is as
optimistic as ever over the future of
this project.
