DePRIESTS PLAN TO
REBUILD DAIRY FARM
The L. M. DePriests, who came
here from Spokane, Wn., six years
ago to build up one of the largest
dairy farms in the Valley until
fire destroyed the barn, two silos
and^the winter’s feed two weeks
ago, plan to rebuild and to re- j
sume their dairy business as soon j
as possible this spring, the plucky !
couple said here this week.
All but two calves of the 32
head of cattle on the DePriest
farm were saved by Mrs. DePriest
with the help of Bill Cook, a
neighbor who happened to be
passing at the time. Mr. DePriest
had departed from his home not
more than 20 minutes before the
fire occurred. While the couple
are rebuilding, neighbors are
milking the herd, which has been
taken over by Merle Anderson
and Chet Liebing.
