Colorado A Good Country
For Dry Land Farming.
Kendrick, Colo.
April 6, 1922.

De- Editor:
!. you will spare me space |
will give a brief sketch of my
trip to Colo, and something
about this country.
| left Tennessee on the 18th
March, and arrived here the 18th.
On the 18th there was a snow
and sand storm, and it sure look
ed rough to me. But taking it
the year around we have more
sun shiney days out here, than
in Tennessee, and not half so
much "moon-shine. "
On our first night out (from
Cookeville to Nashville it rain
ed necessarily, By the" time we
reached the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers they were above flood
stage, The Mississippi river was
four miles wide in some places.
For a new country this is a
fine place to live. The one OBJ
lection that | see, is that water
is hard to find in some places.
Uncle Bailey has failed to fine
any water, but is still trying.
He finished a well this morning,
but no water was found.
This is fine country for dry
land farming. although we have
some rain and snow that helps to
moisten the ground.
Two hundred acres is counted
a one mans crop here. But
there is no clearing to do before
you can cultivate the soil. All
you have to do is to get your
pillow, drive out on the prairie
and go to blowing.
There two men just Northeast
of us that cultivated 400 acres of
land, and paid rent on some of |
it. | helped them shell the corn
produced on this land, and it
measured 1000 bushels.
The farmers use thrashers
here to shell corn. They can
she'll from 1000 to 100 bushels a |
day, and it takes six men to feed
corn to it.
The climate of this country is
fine, if we do have a blizzard
once in while. But they don't
last very long at a time. Some
times a day or two, but seldom
last over one day.
This county has a fine high
school. The children are carried
to and from school in large trucks. |
They play basket ball and have
good teams.
AS | cannot tell everything in
my first letter | will close with
best wishes to all my friends.

mhat Gun Says
ahnlt---SELFISHNESS
LAY up for yourself treasures in heaven.
Matt. go.

This is something that might be called divine
selfshness
It's rather startling, isn't it? Here is definite
and deliberate word of God telling to lay up
thing for themselves. Well how shall we go about it?
The first thing we think of is that our hands are
durty and we cannot handle heavenly treasure You
know that's so. you earthly man YOU don't you? How
about getting them clean just as you would for hand
ling any precious thing you don't want to soil?
It's strange, but the best way to cleanse your hands
is to get your heart clean and the only thing that
cleanse is the blood of Jesus God says that the blood
of Jesus Christ His Son, censeth us from all SINUS
who believe that it does. So earthyman, believe what
God says about His Son, and your hands will be
clean and you will Immediately be able to lay up
treasure with divine selfshness.
It's reasonable isn't it, and the treasure-well it's
some treasure. believe memo don't believe me, be-
leve Him.
Read the Bible for yourself and see what treasure
it unfolds

According to the opinion OF Fos-

IN Kaufman county is due TO the fact
that the wells were not drilled on

clusions and opinions on the infor-
nation. obtained while working the
