Westby News



Westby-Horse buyers have been
busy picking up good horses through
out the country the past few months.
Here recently Paul Hultgren left
with a fine carload of horses. This
week Henry Jensen is leaving Westby
with a fine bunch OF horses for parts
in Wisconsin. There are lots of fine
horses on the p~rairies Of Montana,
but they are leaving fast. Our farm
ers in this section will soo be COM
PEELED to do all of their farming with
tractors and trucks. In some Il
tries, however. the horses are coming
back 10 their own. Somehow the
horses look good To US and they pro
vide, undoubtedly, the cheaper way
for the farmers to do their work. If
We should get 4 year or two OF crop
failues il would go hard on the farm
ers who depend entirely on the trae-
tor 10 do their work, as they would
have to get their work done on a
strictly cash basis. Our advice to
the farmers is: Hold on to some of
your good horses and raise some
good horses from year to year.

Our country is flooded, as it were,
with literature, but much of it is
valueless and is destructive in spirit.
So many people perish for lack of
knowledge. Let US choose u intel
lectual food very carefully.
