He lives in Bucklin, but himself and son, Wallace, have two ranches aggregating 6,000 acres, some 14 miles from Bucklin. They have some 700 head of cattle. They do not farm extensively, but the 100 acres, of corn they planted this year was injured by the warm, dry winds and hot sun of early August, and it did not ear out at all, although it continued fairly green and was finally cut for fodder and made good cattle feed. At Bucklin, on ground that had been cultivated for some years the damage was not so great, although the crop, was cut down considerably. Mr. Parkisoh has prospered since going out there and is well pleased with the change, but a visit to old Jasper county seems pretty good to him yet. He was 80 years of age last spring and is in good health.
