This has been our third year that we have had no crop. This year has been more from drouth and wind than anything else and the other two years drouth and grasshoppers, We had in over two hundred acres of wheat and fifty acres of oats this rear and all we got was about live loads of feed for our animals. The t l vernment is allowing enough feed f,.r six horses and fire head of cattle and if one has any more they ars shipping then out for the winter, the soling animal, and the old cattle they are paying so much per head and having them canned or made in- to fertilizer. This year we have had one rain all Sumner and if it blew at all one could not see a hundred yards from the buildings on account of the dust. One day last May we had to have our lights going all day as one couldn't see to eat one's meals as the dust was so bad and the dust came in every - is here. but we are hoping that our luck will at least return next year. We hope that you will convey our most grateful thanks to all your neighbors and friends for their won- derful kindness in sending what they have sent to our district. Again thanking you for your kindness, with tete best of wishes, Yours sincerely, bir. and Mfrs, E. E. Gfdl.
