Show MUST HAVE FOUND THE LAND OF PLENTY Cambridge, Ida., July 23, 1910. I'o The Progress: The paper is like a letter to us every week, we are glad when Wednesday comes to get the paper and read of our friends at home. We are doing-well here. I have 1G0 acres of good land, dry farm. I have three good springs on it but do not use the water. Wheat goes from 20 to 53 bushels on dry farms, fine hay. The wheat is almost all harvested and the alfalfa haying begun the 2nd of June, lots of fruit, grain and hay here. It has been a dry summer, not much rain. We had new potatoes 2nd of June, green corn 4th of July and yesterday ripe mellons, both water mellons and musk mellons, ripe tomatoes, turnips weighed 10 pounds, beets the same. We went fishing 4 miles from home on the 4th of July, caught all the trout we could handle, and one fine salmon that weighed 35 pounds, gathered lots of wild fruit and had a fine time, about 50 families went and everybody reported a good time. We wish we could throw our friends in Emery county a string of fish and a ripe melon. Our children want to move back to Castledale by their little friends. Weall join in sending send-ing regards to everybody in Emery county. John F. Knudson. |
