HOGELAND

Mrs. Wadmen, who is teaching
saving Is hours a week, has di-
vided her number into three or four ,
groups, about five or six women
IN each group. We then each get
about one day a week with her.
She teaches US how to make over
old clothes, dresses, coats and
whatever we want. We also have
a good visit together, but would
like more to sew ON new goods.
1t comes to our minds of all the
cotton plowed under in the south
ern states. We could use some Of
it here. All farm women are well
come. Mrs. Wadmen will help you
cut and fit, so you can finish the
work at home or the next time
you come. We meet at the home
of some member and light lunch
is served.
Mrs. Sudan is also getting along
nicely. About ten or more farm
ers have enrolled in bookkeeping.
Two young folks take shorthand.
They use the basement of the
high school building. Mrs. Sudan
would like to have you come and
join them.
Monday morning many carloads
of men motored to Chinook to take
part in organizing a grazing as
ISOLATION, community pasture, to
better the community for now and
years to come. The county has
about 5000 acres of land through
tax deed, land with poor soil not
fit for farming in these dry years.
1t would make good pasture if a
reservoir could be built to assure
a water supply. Work could be
done by CCC boys or relief work
ers. Now the county gets nothin G
cut of it. The farmers voted that
this land be sold to the govern
ment, asking SIPS per acre. The
county also has much more land
that Trey are now gettirg tax DEED
to. and which could be used for
2 pasture. The only ores not in IA
I vor of this are the big sheep men
I Who would pay rent for a small
: piece of land or which water could
Z he located, and who now run theil
u many thousand head of sheep ovel
y this territory. Also horses by tbs
&c hundreds now running on thii
range with no brand on will theI
u be in the community pasture an'
:, taxed.
