<DIV>What is the name of the person who owned Whitman County land. The
timber cultures were not necessarily timber that existed when the land was
purchased. A part of the agreement to care for the land if you will was
that a certain amount of the acreage would be used as a timber culture. In
other words, it would not be put to the plow but would be in timber. One
heck of a lot better farming practice than is the idea of plowing every square
foot and watching the wind blow it hither and yon</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
