WANTS TO KNOW

iPerkins as follows:
"Dear Sir: Will you kindly
jnve us information regarding
khe laws on filing land claims in
wour county, also what kind of

id for, does it need irrigating,
nd what are the weather condi
ions throughout the year, how
uch rainfall is there and what
re the nrosnwts in crenera .
jPlease state what is on the land
St the presentjtime."
the letter was turned over to
she town philosopher, and here
is his answer:
