I jus tol you, jus las night.
Go on-tell again, George.
Well, its ten acres, state George. Got a teensy-weensy winmill. Got a little shack on it, an a chicken run. Got a kitchen, orchard, cherries, apples, peaches, cots, nuts, got a few berries. Theys a place for alfalfa and plenty water to flood it. Theys a strapper pen-
