He said: ' . "The cattle buslness-'was never better than at the present time. Contrary to usual custom of the rain-gods of our section, we had a number of fine sprlns rains and the range is therefore in the best of condition. Ho are the cattle. Fo, also. Is the entire agricultural interest: l nave a three-quarter section In the edge of the city and It la mostly planted In wheat. The yield la sure to run somewhere between forty and forty-five bushels to the acre, which Is, to say the least, fully three tlmea better than the averasre yield for that grain throughout the country. Oats will yield lxty to seventy bushels. The yield of Potatoes will average 200 bushels; sugar beets run between fifteen and twenty tons, with' a high average of saccharine. The latter asured the running of the two big sugar factories not less than three months this year. Altogether, the farmer has nothing to grumble about and everything to be thankful for in our section of the State." . Mr. Gray Is well known In Bait Lake, having, resided here for a number of years before removing: to Idaho. |
