The next spring they could come and put in the crop, fence and put up their buildings. This way they have to wait only one summer for their first crop. “It is not advisable for a person to here in the spring, break out land and put it in crop the first year, because the moisture is not in the ground and a failure is almost cer- tain unless it IS an exceptionally wet year. “One of the boys from that locality, Peder M.
