mile east of Sundance.
Seeley has lived in this area
for 30 years, including 10 at his
present place. Three genera-
tions of his family have farmect
and ranched in various states.
The ranch was started in the
1880's. W.E. Mathews was the
previous owner. Recent improve-
merits include the rebuilding of
the buildings in the last 10 years
and construction of an irrigation
system within the last six years.

Sundance "mailers" $82.50.

Seeley carries out both irrigat.
ed and dry land farming, raising
about 1600 acres of wheat, oats
and barley.
l;vestock includes 600 Here-
l~.as and 50 Scotch Highlands
in a commercial herd. Seeley
s~ys cattle are his favorite and
most profitable crop.
The land is summer fallowed
and no fertilizer is used. ,Hay
makes up the bulk of Seeley's
livestock feeding program. Weed
control is handled by spraying
with plane and Jeep for weevils.
Seeley says the spraying is satis-

Machinery includes three trae.
tors, two trucks, a New Holland
slate rake and a Farmhand.
Seeley says he gets satisfactory
service from them.
There are four employees on
the ranch including Tommy, Dav-
id and Ted Seeley.
Todd was married to the for-
mer Hazel Fox of Sheridan at
Gillette in 1922. They formerly
lived at Moorcroft. They have
six children, three sons and
three daughters.
Tod@s hobby is horses. Todd
revealed another interesting fact
when he said that he was start-
ing a registered Black Angus
herd.
The Sundance Bulldogs, display-
ing tremendous shooting accuracy,
swamped the Hulett Red Devils
here Tuesday night, 50-24, to end
a five-game losing streak.
The Bulldogs' losing streak had
been extended to five Friday night
when Tongue River hung on to
grab a 54-47 decision.
The Sundance five had little dif-
ficulty with ttulett. The Red Dev-
ils were unable to hit, connecting
for just six field goals.
After the lead seesawed in the
opening minutes, Les Hooper
hooked in a shot to give the Bull-
dogs a 6-5 lead. After that, the
Bulldogs were off to the races.
Mollenbrink and Fowler sank
shots and Reed added a free throw
to make it 11-7 at the end of the
