a-ad an 80-acre tract of sagebrush land
but soon after reduced it to 40 acres.
Their capital consisted of $500 down
payment on the land and sufficient
means to purchase a team, COW and
small amount of equipment, but not
enough to build house so they were
compelled to rent a small house on an
adjacent farm.
During 1928, 36 acres were crop

tons Of clover hay, 43 bushels of
clover seed, 100 bushels of barley, LOG
bushels Of wheat, and considerable
pasture. A family garden and orchard
provided a large share of the actual
living expenses. All of the crops
raised, with the exception of the
clover seed, were fed on the place to
livestock and poultry.

with 800 purebred English White

$1,000 net. In addition they had 5
milk cows, 2 heifers, and a team. The
cream check, receipts from the sale
OF the clover seed, etc, brought the
gross returns to over $500, and,
after deducting all expenses, taxes

was about $4,000.
