In a recent letter to the Gleaner office Rob Syth sent an encouraging report of conditions among former Greenwood people at Gerard, Montana. He says:

“Crops are looking good now, flax is doing nicely. It is going to be good. I have 65 acres of flax and 50 acres of wheat and oats, but the hail hurt them some. We have had two or three nice rains here lately. We have fine soil here and most everything will grow; gardens and potatoes look good. I think flax will be worth $2.50 per bushel.

All the Greenwood people that are located here are all well and prospering.

I had a steam plowing outfit this spring and go in 110 acres. I don’t think that is so bad for a Clark County buckwheater.
