W.H. DECKER, who went from this county to Regina, Canada, has moved to Moose Jaw in the Saskatchewan district, where he has taken charge of a steam plowing outfit. In a letter to the Herald he says: "We pull nine 14 inch plows at a depth of about four inches and make about 24 to 25 miles a day when it is not wet. But for the past two or three weeks we have been having too much rain for my work. Crops are looking fine. Prospects for a bumper crop are number one. I hope they are as good in old Iowa."
