From the Observer, Feb. 17,1911
After the farmer’s impromptu
banquet at the O. L. Belshe
farm Sunday it was resolved
that some effort should be made
to attract young women to Sher
man county as domestics and
eventually* as wives.
Much of the fall sown wheat
is reported dead, but others say
it has lots of whiskers on it be
low the ground.
