Coroner Butts, who has just come in
from trip through Sherman county.
says there is no telling how much
wheatsthere will he raised Ia that
county this season. 1t appears to him
that nearly every acre Of tiIlible land
is in cultivation, and the grain in |
every section looks remarkably we'll.
Such day as this is what makes the
farmer feel good. With the mercury
at 70 degrees In the shade and plenty |
OF moisture in the ground, his crops
are springing up as if by magic, and
he can look forward to the future when
an abundant yield of yellow grain will
be harvested, that will bring silver and
gold into his pocket.

head of the Columbia. and should eX-
treme warm weather prevail there for
q week, there will be considerable
water coming down this way.
