A five acre farm that markers $650 worth of produce, 1896

The following excerpts an article first published in the Seattle Times. I cannot find a copy of that article, but what appears to be a complete version can be found in the 6 Feb 1896 edition of The Aberdeen Herald. "R. M. Hoskinson writes to the Seattle Times that it has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt that any man with sufficient pluck and energy to tackle the logs and brush of these uplands can make a good living on five, or at most, ten acres. Sufficient capital is necessary to live on the frst year. From thence, each succeeding year becomes easier, and more remunerative. Mr. Hoskinson himself cultivates some five acres, and sells therefrom each year some $650 worth of varlous products, much as frult, vegetables, chickens, eggs, butter, etc. And what one man has And done another can do, with like brains and perseverance."
