"Lee I've got some Jersey & Holstein mixed cows that are worth as much in Onida as your good herefords. How about trading?"
We traded. I was on the way to some good cattle.
Willis & Lucille had moved out of Okobojo and were living north east about six miles on what was known as the Halsher place. He had bought some Holstein cows and was trying to make a living milking cows. The mail route had been lost to Sam Smith who bid it in for $48 a month. Sam turned it over to his bondsman about three years later on and went to Utah to work in the copper mines.
I was getting some work as a township committeeman on the new Gov't. AAA program. I got the model A because I could make the final payments on it and Willis bought a Model T coupe. It may not have been just that way but I'm close. Things get hazy sometimes after forty years.
