and Elmer Hauge and c. L. Marshall
went to get smell of country air
A southwest course was taken after
the river was crossed and 1S fine
views were photographed in a dis
tance of or miles Good outdoor
pictures require the sun to be well up
in the sky so the party then turned
home The members of the party
were all enthusiastic when they re-
turned over the excellent and uni
form condition of grain and all crops.
They say there are no poor crops in
the section visited although there is
occasionally a field that is overly late
Fields practically all over show evil
dence of good farming and are clean
of weeds and well TILED In the river
bottoms the first crop of alfalfa is in
the stack and the second crop will
soon be ready to cut.
The first field taken was some dandy
wheat belonging to George Maloy.
Then some fine oats and wheat be-
longing to Pete Olson Several more
fields Of Mr.. Naioy's, includins oats
and corn were taken, all mighty fine.

crop and if any of it is not right up
to the bumper standard it is some

farmstead which occupies a very
pleasant site and is we'll supplied
with pure, cold water from a we'll
