1 our last issue was off "the
gertleman who has trav-
ctensively was a caller at
and in conversation we
various inquiries about- the
*diff erent parts of the. country and
Jiis good way he drew some
comparisons that were worth
^reproduction, even he" "would not
' agree that we use his name in the
ViacJe/--- v • ; '
First he took the land specula-,
tion matters and stated the land
m ' speculators a^great
to the Plains country, but mind
you I don't mean the large com-
rho have bought large
Id cut it up and re-sell,
are truly developers and
*e-sell they tlevelope, and
,ake possible, theway for hun-
of people who could not
. wise secure a home.
They are a blessing, but the
lan that comes into, a community
hid buys 160 iaCres up«to four
tiorts^ iatid forgets about it,
d: simply , lets it lay for an in-
vestment, is the man that is a
mepace to the country. '
4 'You have in this south plains
intry one that is in every, way
lal- and I believe will excel 1
,t of South Dakota, and look
^that country only a few years
> it was looked upon as an ex-
iment more than this is today,
•and now the land is worth from
to $150.00 -per acre, "
'"They have the high wind that
du have here, have just as much
•y times, and it was really an
undesirable place to live until
1 few years ago. "The reason
i'r m change the past few years
; brought about by plant-
trees, where you see a
th Dakota you will
see a large cluster of 'trees, and
v?:,WhSre voii see the cluster of trees
yoU will see the home. "The
rees have . solved this problem,
i tears up the wind, or causes it
2 and does no damage to
and proves a great st'drm
Win winter." -
[ow if trees have worked such
range in that country why
d it not do the same for Crosr
; hy County. The Review has
- times stated that it is our
: if we would plant trees all
''he. country that jgg^ould
jred with the saorf
st as we are " at this time
believe ,we would have
more pleasant sum-
a certaiii ty we would
better winters. ,
ieve that if hedges were
>n section lines- of any
1 Peach trees to Bois'
would see a wonder-
in the country in
people who
tl their farm
homes do certainly
lant summer and
je who do not.
