He was more than pleased with the country, says that they have had a beautiful winter and are very much elated with the prospect of a large wheat crop based on the fact that the winter has been good for the wheat in that section. Charley says there are many fine homes there, better than lots of the best homes in this section of Indiana and he compared one house in the country there to his beautiful new Barkley township residence. He says that the most successful men there are the pioneers of 25 and 30

years ago who didn’t have enough money to come baok east on and no relatives to borrow it from when the droughts of that period were so desV _ tructive to crops. Not having had enough to leave on they staid right there and were rewarded by successful accumulation. Charley regrets that he was not there at that time and “busted.” The corn crop there was much damaged by the hot winds last year huh these are not a frequent occurrence and Charley believes there is a great future to that country and a lot better climate and better prospects of advancement in land than in some of the cold northwest countries. .
