The novel begins: Dear Dan: The newspaper you sent last week was almost like a letter from you, because it was just like you to send the paper instead of writing the message it contained. You know how I welcome every bit of information concerning you and yours, but, of course, you�������d never tell me how prosperous you are now. Left it for the Talton Herald to set forth how Daniel Bronson, one of the well-to-do farmers up on the Solomon, shipped out-how many carloads of cattle was it? And what is alfalfa coined out of anyhow, that it can bring such a wad of money to a well-to-do farmer?
