so' forotte and one-half year,' I have
to Iift her in and out of bed all the
tithe. As for myself I. am crippled up
some with rheumatism.
Now I will give yoe soiree idea of
what shape we are in financially. We
have a nice farm of 320 acres, In 1929
I was out of debt, did' not owe a dol-
lar anyone, In 193our crops
tai to a y 0 were.
po9r, only had 443 bushels of wheat
and sold at 65c to 45c per bushel. In.
1931 had 650 bushels and got 50c. In
1982 bad 1400 bushels, got from 35e
to 19c per bushel: So to -day I owe
$2000 and can't pay a cent In 1933
had 680 bushels of wheat, _ got 45c
per bushel. My taxes are about $125
per year, interest $80, thresh bill $60,
coal $70, total $845 and other expens-
es and living, So you can see where
we, are going, All they time the 'grass-
hoppers were bad here this year. We
lost all our oats In this country this
year. I ani in better circumstances
than most of my neighbors.
Now I will try and give you some
idea of what kind. of shape this court -
try is in, The neighbor west of me
had 36 bushels of wheat off 225 ac-
res. The neighbor to the Borth of the
had 45'°bt,shets off 165 acres. There
