The following communication came
too late for the last issue, for which
it was intended. ....
This Is a quiet town and news is
scarce. 1t Is very dry, the only rain
here for the last, four weeks or more
was one shower, just rain enough to
lay the dust. - -.-.- --~- .
We have wind and sand storms
almost every day.
Grain that was seeded with the
drill looks better than could be ex-
pected this dry season; but that
seeded with broad cast seeder is very
thin but good in color. If we should
have rain soon think their would
be very fair crop of wheat this
year.
CorE that has been planted four
and five weeks is just coming up but
the cut worms are very destructive
IN some folds.
Their is a beetle working in the
cottonwood groves here that proves
to be very destructive, it eats the
young leaves as fast as they grow
some groves look as tho a fire had
run through, killing the trees.
This town is making some improve
ments in the shape of new buildings
among which is a Methodist church
