"Is every thing ruined?" "No indeed, " answered Gully. "I find that my alfalfa and trees have not been injured in the least. The water I put on the ground has held the sand and I now have the secret of farming in this country. " "I shall get me an engine immediately, " put in Jack. "Alfalfa, fruit and stock raising beats wheat anyway. " "Do you suppose the wheat is all ruined?" asked Miss Anderson. "I am afraid so, " Gully replied. "Gee, " exclaimed Jack. "What a letter I have got to write Mr. ...Palmer now. Well, it is not our fault. " They were right. The wheat was all killed and it was too late in the season to replant had they the means of doing so. A few days after the passing of the storm Gully and Norton drove to the company's land to view its effect. Not a sprig of grain could be found, and the soil had been blown from the surface to the depth of the plowing. The whole tract presented a most disheartening appearance. Both men expressed the deepest regret and sympathy for the unfortunate owners who had sustained such a loss and agreed that they should be notified of their misfortune.
