Show DRY FARMS BEING TAKEN. It may not be generally, known that there is considerable doing in the dry farming line in what is known as the Minersville Bench. California boosters are at the head of the scheme, and when we say that coast men are pushing the project it goes witout saiyng that it will go with the whirl and energy that carries the California stamp. The company has built a good hotel at a siding about 16 miles north of Lund where they can properly accommodate the settlers set-tlers they bring'in to locate. One day last week 14 settlers were taken to the ground and shown their allotments. The ground is being taken up rapidly rapid-ly and before long there will be some nice little towns started that will grow in accordance with the success "the farmers meet with. The ground now being taken up is fertile and of the very best quality for dry farms and, should the settlers be fortunate later on to get water, from wells or otherwise, there is no doubt as to the success of their venture. |
