Show i HALF-MINUTE INTERVIEWS: Jas. Shields: "I have 140 acres to fall wheat, it's up and I sure have a fine stand, am going to sow 60 acres more to spring wheat just as soon as the weather weath-er will permit and I will put ten acres of sugar beets in this spring besides. I am positive that wheat will not drop below a dollar a bushel, and if I can get that much for all the wheat I harvest this year, there will be no grumbling out of me. This vear is the farmers year, it's their inning, and there are a number out my way that will niak.": a pile of money off their wheat, hogs and sugar beets, if some awful calamity doesn't strike us." W. J. Oppenheimer: "I have heard upon several different occasions oc-casions that I was quoted as saying say-ing that I was disgusted with this country and intended to move out. This statement is absurd, I like this country better every day, have placed my ranch near SanDiego on the market and as soon as it sells, I will invest every dollar of the money right here in this valley. I am farming my father-in-law's farm now, and will harvest good crops this year, have just been here a year, but that is sufficiently long to convince me that this is the place to stay and make money at farming. farm-ing. I was comfortably situated in California and made some money farming, but this is the place for me; my wife and I are both contented ana we intend to stay." |
