I had altogether five of such wells.
A little more "brag," if it may be called so, and I shall have done.

But it will need some telling, and perhaps credulity on the reader's part.

A certain wild plant called "loco" grows profusely in many parts of the Western States; but nowhere more profusely than it did in my pasture.
Indeed it looked like this particular spot must have been its place of origin and its stronghold in time of adversity.

Certainly, although it was common all over the plains, I never saw in any place such a dense and vigorous growth of it, covering like an alfalfa field solid blocks of hundreds of acres.

This is no exaggeration.
