4 4 almost completely crowded out of these hundreds of acres of "Table." The soil here is not nearly so sandy and the topography is much like that of the prairies much farther east. The farmers are giving much of the land for wheat and corn. Many potatoes are produced on there tables - and with the new railroad and better facilities for marketing produce, the potato crop should be immense here. Westward from Gandy the tableland soon gives way to sand hills again, but it extends eastward to the rolling country of the loess region of Custer County. In all this cultivated region the tumbleweeds, Salsola tragus , Cycloloma atriplicifolium are abundant and at this time of year the old plants are piled high against every obstruction such as fences, sheds, etc. Gandy is near the south side of the valley of the South Loup which here is about three miles wide with the river near the north side. Near the river the land is rather swampy. Fine patch, 8 acres of alfalfa in east side of Gandy . When old fields are abandoned entirely they go back to bunch grass in about 20 yrs. A. gnaphalodes is a late stage in the meaning; Salsola and Cycloloma a much early stage. H. petiolaris = one of 1st to come in.
