H. M. Shipman Writes Us a Letter From Central City, Nebraska.

H. M. Shipman, who recently went to Central City, Neb., for a visit with relatives before going on to the home of his daughter, Mrs. Everal Smith, ip Burke, S. Dak., writeß us as follows under date of March 30th: “I am well; it has been fine here since I came. The pears and plums are in bloom and alfalfa is 6 inches high. Farmers are finishing their oats sowing, the wheat is looking well on part of the land while other fields are killed in patches and some in the SAftd hills west of here has been killed by the sand blowing over it. The wind has been blowing 40 miles an hour all week. The soil is good here, it is a day, sandy loam. Ten miles west of here, there is much sand and some alkali. The people here are quiet and contented. This is a nice little town. I will go to South Dakota in one week more.” Mr. Shipman sent a weather record for March 25th and March 28th with tha temperature for every hour from 5 a. m. to 8 p. m. It showed a range of from 53 to 77 degrees on the 25th and from 52 to 83 on the 28th. Our weather here was running about the same. - " ~——-— --
