T HE worst drouth in the history of the Northwest has 
caused severe damage to us all, though perhaps in a 
degree varying with our individual foresight and ability 
to learn from experiences of the past. But in spite of the 
damage, it has made us wonder at the ability of Northern 
Great Plains soil combined with Northern Great Plains 
climate to produce something under even the most adverse 
conditions. 
We should have learned before now that two years’ feed in the barn, two years’ hay in 
the stack and a piece of pasture land resting every year are essentials to the practice of 
agriculture in our region. With the observance of such precautions and the use of corn 
as a regular part of a rotation, which recognizes the need for rest and resodding of our 
land at intervals not too close, we do not believe that permanent failure in this region 
is possible, in view of the land values which prevail. 
The prospect ahead seems to be bright in spite of the year just past and we may all 
get to work on our plans for 1937 with a very reasonable expectation for a prosperous 
year. 
We have the seeds that you need to 
fulfill these expectations though it has 
been a difficult matter to get together 
many of them. 
At any rate we are still here to serve 
you as for the past 55 years and we 
shall endeavor to deserve your con¬ 
tinued patronage through the service 
we can give you. 
Sincerely, 
OSCAR H. WILL & CO.
