CHAPTER VIII
12/50

They's a big fight on 'twixt us truck farmers and the cattle ranchers.

You see, the cattlemen has had the free range so long they naturally 'low they own it, and they have the nerve to tell us fellers to keep off.

They explain smooth enough that they ain't got nawthin' agin me pussonally--you understand--only they 'low me settlin' h'yer will bring others, which is shore about right, fer h'yer you be, kit an' caboodle.

Now you comin' in will set things a-whoopin', an' it ain't no Sunday-school picnic we're a-facin'.
We're goin' to plant some o' these men before this is settled.

The hull cattle business is built up on robbing the Government.
