BROWN WRITES OF HIS TRIP TO THE WEST Shamrock, Sask., Oear Mr. Southcott and Times- Advocate Readers: We had a pleasant trip, averaged .about 340 miles per day, -with only idight repairs and reached Shamrock on Thursday. After we passed 3?Iint, Michigan we went by Luding ton via Pere Marquette ferly to 4Minawack, Wis. across Lake Michi gan- The poorest crop and county we saw was Northern Michigan. Wis consin for most part has good crops except in small spots; a great dairy country. Minn, also has good crops. /5t. Paul was the largest city we touched- N. Dakota has a varied crop-, much of it very poor. Grand Sharks and Minot, its largest qities, *ve ifeuched. We drove about thirty TOiles into Montana then north to Padville, iSask., west of Estevan. Montana has a light crop, ‘ Roads .axil good except where under repair. Most of crop irio Regina and Moose- Jaw district good or fair but south »nd west dry winds have destroyed some completely, 'The balance is vary poor. Here at Shamrock farm ers are making hay but it is a poor <rop. The land is quite rolling and fluite a few stones, no trees. This ^district is purely a wheat district. -Shamrock has two general stores, -two garages, drug store, four imple anent dealers, lumber yard, 3 grain elevators but will not be opened this year on account of poor crop; two tf’Oal yards, large town hall where -services are held, deleo and private light plants provide most of the light here. * High senool, but gives -only three years work. Last Sun day J drove 17 miles out and 17 •miles back. Two audiences of 50 end over the other somewhat small er. Shamrock, Codene .and Cavell are any field, mostly Scotch and English ■or American. Om the west I reach •tfi settlement of German Russians. Only one other minister comes into <his district at one point' (Anglican.) There are quite a few Catholics. French -on the east.
