Something tells my wife and me,
Stapleton said today, "that this coun-
try isn't going to be a desert. We've
seen it produce big crops too many
times"
With 1873 acres in wheat, he started
the year with hope after three short
yields due to drought. The topsoil
started blowing two months ago. Now
he doesn't expect to raise a bushel of
grain.
"Nine years ago." he said, "who'd
have thought we'd be keeping stock
on thistles? That's all the feed I've
got left and I'm ashamed to offer it
to an animal.
"I'm working on relief now two or
three days a week to keep going.
There's something in this country that
gets u.s."
