Thinks Well of Walker Township.

This is no bum Write-up, but ju?t the plain ungarnished truth. I_have farmed in. different parts of the state, ami am well acquainted with tin' soils throughout the state. I have owned 120 acres in Walker township, but until this year have rented it. 1 am tending my own farm this year, and, even with the backward spring, have 1 prospects of as large a crop as I ever raised in Jordan tp., or Benton county. My oats look like 50 or 60 bushels to the acre, and are nearly ready to cut, while corn Is large and Well tended, and grass is as good as any place, and vegetables are the best ever, as 1 have produced four times as much on the same amount of land as any place 1 ever lived. If some of my friends in Jordan or Benton should happen to stumble upon me, they would wonder if I had not brought 120 acres of their best land 1 with me, as they Would see as good a prospect as ever I had down there, and none of them ever beat me much on crops. But. I have proved one thing, that when this land is ditched and farmed properly, it will produce as well as the best. This is not the case on every farm, as land varies as well as the tenant. If anyone doubts this, I invite them to come and see for themselves. J. R. HAZEN, Kniman, Ind.
