BIGGEST WHEAT FIELD ON EARTH

What is said to be the largest single
wheat field i'm California covers over 25,-
900 acres, or forty square miles.
This enormous field of grain is located
on the banks of the San Joaquin river,
near the town of Clovis, in MADEIRA
county, says the San Francisco Call.
The field is part In Fresno county and
part I'm MADEIRA county. Clovis Cole is
the man who is putting I'm this vast
acreage. and he undertook one of the
largest jobs that any man has yet done
i'm California.
While IL is true that larger acreages
of wheat has been planted by certain
ranchers In this state. there seems TO be
no rcord of an exact parallel to the
present case. ON the Miller * Lux
ranch Kern county, $4,000 acres were
planted one year, but the fields were
scattered about in different places.
They were really series of fields, To-
Gated wherever there was fertile spot.
Few Of the fields We're 2000 acres, and i'm
many instances there would be a mile
bare between them. The acreage plant

expect To graduate this year are more

graduates i'm previous years. The in
tcntion now is 10 close the schools two
weeks earlier than the regular time
of closing. because of the lack of funds
to pay the salaries OF teachers. This

Accordingly, William OF Germany had
a good right TO resent the remarks of
Skipper Coghlan OF the Raleigh, high
official OF friendly government, though
TO feel that they called for something in
the nature OF a disavowal on the part
OF our government seems to have given
the matter an undue importance as
there could not possibly be any sus-
picion that our government has any
but the most friendly feelings for Will
liam OF Germany. In a word, the re-
freshing remarks OF Skipper Coghlan
We're a subject for naval discipline on
~ and not for international discussion.
II the German ambassador had waited,
he would doubtless have been relieved
by seeing the discipline indicated en-
forced in the ordinary course of busi-
ness. For whatever in the way OF pun
ishment for his language is TO be given
Skipper Coghlan would have been just
the same II Germany had not made Of
fetal complaint and would have been
not less severe i'm the absence of such
complaint, as II will not be any more
severe because of it.
