Lemmon Fanneis In
Prosperous Condition
G. A. Bennett, of f.he First
State Bank of Lemmon, stated to
the Herald today that never be
fore were the farmers of this
section in better financial condi
tion than they are at the present
time. He stated that money was
plentiful all through the section
and that prospects were very
good for increased prosperity
during the coming year.
On of the best evidences of the
cash in the hands of the farmers
is the fact that all farm sales
[held this winter have been well
attended and the goods have
been sold at a good price. Seven
ty per cent of the stuff is bought
for cash at these auctions.
