Hi, Grandad Henry Augustine Wyly bought 400 acres of land in Erath County in two blocks- . It had been in & out of various Hatchett and Wyly family members. When I went to work at Convair Fort Worth he asked me why I didn't just farm, it would be mine someday. He said he bought this black land which made as much as a bale of cotton an acre and 60 bushels of oats for 50 cents an acre and worked for other farmers to pay for some of it for fifty cents a day, daylight to dark, or, from can to can't. Anyone know where I can find an acre of land for a day's wages now? Happy hunting, Charles Wyly
