! BAIRD, CALLAHAN COUNTY, June 90
Wheat is now being brought in and sold b,
the farmers at good price Rain is now
needed for the corn and cotton. Some say
| that even without any more rain the corr
will make an average crop, and, in some
| places it viii yield twenty-five bushels pei
acre.
Floyd, Hunt County.-Crop prospects are
just as tine as we could ask for.
ALEDo, PARKER COUNTY, June 90
Wheat in this section of the country was
never better than it is this year, and the
threshers are knocking it out very fast The
yield is from twelve to thirty bushels to
the acre and it will average about twenty
| bushels to the acre all over this part of
the country. F. NJ, Watson threshed 304
bushels off Of ten acres, which is about
thirty and one-half bushels per acre. That
is the largest yield per acre we have
heard of yet. Now, if the Panhandle farm
erS can beat this, we would like to hear
we have seen in this country in long
time. The spring crops look very well,
considering the dry weather we are having
just now. Corn and millet are needing rain
very badly, and if it doesn't rain soon the
yield will be cut short, and the prospect
now for rain is not very good. Cotton is
not needing rain very much yet Henri
Clogenson is loading two cars this evening
with baled hay for the Eastern market.
He has been making hay here in the Hig-
bene pasture every year for several years.
BURLEsoN, JOHNSON COUNTY, June 90
Our farmers are very busy now threshing
out their immense crop of grain, which is
turning far above their anticipations
Wheat is averaging about twenty bushels
per acre-some run as high as thirty. Oats
are fine, too. The first car of oats was sold
to-day to Slepinson g. Goldsmith of AL
vaTado by f. j. Booth at 30 cents. One
good rain would secure US fine corn crop.
Cotton is doing well, and this section has a
bright prospect at present.
PANHANDLE, CARSON COUNTY, TEX, June
14.-CropS of all kinds never looked better
in any country than ours at the present time
Abundant rains all over Carson county, but
no halls or severe storms to do damage.
Such growth of grass as there is now has
not been seen on the plains for many years
Thousands of acres of fine productive land
at nominal price is awaiting the man with
the plow. The dry grass lakes are now all
full of water. Wheat on sod land will
make from IL to 20 bushels per acre. The
biggest rain of the season fell this morning
RHoME, WISE COUNTY, June 1s-The
weather is fine, and threshing is going on
with regular vim: About 1000 bushels of
new wheat was received here to-day, and it
is fine, plump grain, and the yield highly
satisfactory. However, the wheat brought
in here to-day was not for sale but was
stored.
NEwsoM, JONES COUNTY, June 15-Jones
county was again blessed with another fine
soaking rain, with no damage to crops or
fruit. These splendid rains have been reg
ular and crops have not suffered a day this
year. The result of the regular and good
rains this year is the largest acreage ever
before planted, being fully rs per cent
greater than last year, and the crops as now
developed (the wheat is already harvested)
will be fully 20 per cent above the yield any
previous year since the organization of the
county. Hence Il large acreage and pro-
duction. The fine Farmers Alliance roller
mill of Arson, one Of the finest and best in
West Texas, cannot consume more than
one half of the wheat crop of Jones county,
much less the immense crop of Haskell,
Stonewall, Dickens, King. Fisher and other
north and northwest counties, therefore
hundreds of thousands of bushels of wheat
and other grain, over and above home con-
sumption, will be shipped from Jones
county, as well as from all West Texas.
The corn crop, which is about made, never
was as fine as it is now. The cotton crop
prospect is everything that could be de-
SlICu dCICdSC VI tli6 COuuOu CIUp
about 20 per cent greater than last year.
The sorghum and millet is always success
full crop, and never better than this year
In our travels we find the crops all over
West TeXas-from Fort Worth west and
northwest-the finest we ever saw.
BIvINs, CAss COUNTY; June live had
fine rain yesterday, and then last night
we had root soaker" The ground is
thoroughly wet this morning for the first
time in two months, though crops are not
injured by dry weather where they had
been worked properly. Crops of all kinds
are as fine as ever seen in this part of the
country, and everybody is elated over the
fine prospect.
Gilmer, Upshur county. - Crops were
never better in this district. We have not
suffered for rain at any. time this sea-.
son. The farmers are all up with their
work.
SUNSET, WISE COUNTY, June 16.-The
late rains that have fallen in this section
assure us of bountiful corn crop, and
since the warm weather set in cotton is
growing very fast and looks very promis-
ing. Owing to the washouts on the Den
yer railroad north of here the past week
several thousand dollars worth of fruit
anu vegetables have been lost for want of
shipment.
