CHRISMAN RAISES

Silver Lake Merchant
Completes Successful
Experiment
F. M. Chrisman, the well known
Silver Lake merchant, this vear under
took an experiment several miles smith
of his town in the way of planting
oats. This is something that had never
before been tried with any degree of
success in that section, tut Mr. Chris-
There are nine families ! man was so hopeful of the outcome
h a sufficient -r.umher thut he planted the seeds over about
of children to form a large school.
whi:h it is 'uoced will be built in time
for the fall term. Hundreds of acres
of the fertile lands are being cleared
of the sage-brush and fenced so that
the rich native grasses can resced
themselves, wells have been dug and
a good supply of puie water obtained,
gardens planted ami a general appear
ance of prosperity on every hand.
Very little grain was put in this year
on account of getting the soil in shspe
for sowing for next vear is very bright.
The settlers are the kind that believe
in doing things and letting the other
fellow do the kicking.
New Invention
Wm. Rouse, of Abeit Lake, has in
vented a wind pumoing machine that
threatens to revolutionize everything
in that line, in raining water upon the
land for irrigation. The outfit consists
of a series of large canvass wings that
fold after thev have passed the effec
tive points and where thev would re
sist the wind in returning to the point
160 acres of land, plowing them in
to a depth of ten inches. He now has
as fine a stand as oi e would rare to
see. thick and very high. He expects
to obtain at least three housBnd bus
hels, and at the price that oats are
usually sold for in this locality it can
be readily seen that the investment in
this instance was a verv goud one. The
oats will be harvested in two or three
days now, and after the sucess that Mr.
Chrisman has experienced it is hoped
that others throughout the county will
try the same stunt.
