Mrs. Mary K. Wermerskirchen re­ceived a letter from Mrs. John Eolster of Pomona, Cal., where Mr. Bolster and family now have made their home. Mr. Bolster had lived in Piera for the last 40 years or more. He came here when net one year eld, and is well known not only in Pierz acd vicinity but also in Morrison and adjoining counties. Below we publish that part of the letter that may be of general interest: "It is now about tiire 1 should answer your welcome letter you wrote to me quite a long time ago. X have been very busy lately. We left Los Angeles some tine, in March and came to Pomona, a very pretty place, 82 miles from Los Angeles. It has a population of 8,000. We live in the city limits, about 11-4 miles from the depot.

We bought six acres of land for |8,900. That is quite an amount of money for such a small strip of land. It is a nice place and was well im­proved when we bought it. About one*fourth is in fruit trees as: Apri­cots, peaches, plums, olives and walnuts. We bave also lots of berry bushes as: blackberries, red raspberries, dew­berries and strawberries. Tne last mentioned we have had on the table many times already (April 26th date of letter). It won't be long before we have more than we can eat. But dear friend! When the blackberries are ripe, 1 wish you could be here, for I am sure by tbe way the bushes are hanging* full of green berries now. we can pick bushels of them. We would not need to bother ourselves as we did last summer when we went

do you remember? The peaches are now as large as a small hen's egg. Oh 1 I wish they were ripe. On some trees they will be ripe by the middle of June. I also have a fine garden with lettuce,radishes, peas and beans. I wish you could sae my roses and lilies on our lawn, they are simply beautiful. John is gcing to have a picture taken ot tbe lawn acd flowers and it will give yon only a faint idea of tteir real beauty. We have cattle, one hcrse and carriage, farming implements, about 300 chickens, turkeys, bees and etc. We have a house with six rooms, closets and bath room, with water supply from the city, a large barn, four large incubators that will hatch 1,200 eggs at once. So yon see that we got quite a little for our money. Dear friend I think if you had been here once yon would never want to go back to Piers, at least I don't want to. If I only had my friends and relatives here; that is what makes me feel lonesome once in a while. How is Mrs. Jcs. Gzell getting along? 1 bave not heard from ter for a long time. 'Clara wants your girls to write to her. How are Mrs. P. A. Hartmann and her little daughter! How far is Pierz with its railroad? Please let xce know all about Pierz and write a long letter, and make up for lost time. Give my love to all friends, relatives and your family. Good bje. Write eoon.

weather at the time of planting and tbe first few weeks afterwards was not very favorable.

I - Oats is much poorer now than July first. In many localities the ,grain louse and rust have done much dam­age and only a minimum haivest is expected. It is a positive fact that «re will not have a very rich harvest, tte yitld will be very scanty, although not a direct failure, or poor year.'' Tte above report Js for the whole cruntry as to the general outlook July first. Much of it does not correspond with the.prospects around Piers,Buck-man and Ls strop. "Here is a little advise to cur farmers. The rapid acd steady growing consume of our own country and the poor prospects for harvest in some European cocntries are sure to raise the price cf grain this fall. Farmers secure tbe highest price by holding your grain. Do not sell right alter tarrest, wten, by all kinds of tricks and manouvers, tbe prices are held down by tte millionaire grain dealers of our large cities in all grain markets."

In and aroucd Pierz barley and rye are nearly all cut acd by the begin­ning of next week stacking will com­mence. Oats is beginning to get ripe and some will be cut cext week.
