Mr. Be.-ker"is .'17 years obi and was born at Sublimity, where Ins moth cr still lives. His father died quite a . . num.ier ot years ago. mis ianu, con- sisting of 320 acres, has belonged to the family for over 2o years, although his iiarents never resided on it. Air. Becker now owns ). acres of the farm and rents the rest of it from his moth- er. He has been on the place for the past five years. His principal crop is always wheat, although he raises eon - sidcrable other grain and hay. Crop prospects this season are good. Al though his attention is principally di rected to grain raising, he keeps con siderable stock, principally sheep ami Angoras. Besides ho usually raises quite a large number of hogs, at tho present time having eight brood sows ami lo snouts, nu aisv h..b a .-hiifw.i-erable number of chickens and in the neighborhood of 100 turkeys. The buildings on the place are rather old,' but the location is splendid. There sre a number of fine springs on the, dace and a small creek fed by springs ,has is head near the house.
