1922 Industrial Survey of Walks Over Ice

"We found this man and his wife both working in the garden, hoeing and weeding. He has a good sized garden with a good variety of stuff planted. They had arranged for a loan to build them a new house, but the funds were exhausted before the purchases were made. We still have the application pending and may be able to assist him yet. We suggested to him that he trade all of his range horses for about 2 work horses, as he could not do better. His house is rather indifferently kept. He has a good prospect for wheat crop this year, both on irrigated and dry land. He has some good pasture fenced in and could keep a cow or two without any particular expense."
