The complete equipment of these

bombs and hure a sped of between 85

Oliver Dalryuiple. who was a Scotch

Visitors from every part of the Unit

to the farm ut harvest time to see the
wheat. Writers for eastern publica

farm. Many columns were written in
magazines and eastern periodicals of
the scale on which operations were
conducted. The romance of the bo
nanza farmer was written and rewrit
ten. For twenty-five consecutive years
nothing but wheat was raised on the
Dalrymple arm. But for some years
past crop rotation has been followed,
and the farm has produced vast quan
tities of flax, barley, rye, oats, millet
and other crops In the process of rest
ing and restoring the soil, and every
year a portion has been laid In summer
fallow.
