Threshing the small grain crop
of this county is now we'll on but
as yet the returns as to acreage
yield is not such as to enable The
News to give the general average.
w. E. Bates on a field of 100 acres
near town has threShed out 2375
bushels of wheat.
L. N. Lochridge, near Happy,
makes a record as follows:
Wheat, p bushels per acre; oats
81 bushels per acre and barley 90
bushels per acre. Mr.. Lochridge
had in 40 acres of wheat and 90
of oats. 1t would be fair to say,
however, in this connection, that
Mr.. Lochridge is what would be
called where he comes from, Tar
rant county, goodfarmer and that
if others in this county had given
the same care to the small grain
crop here as he has done that the
Weld all over Randall county for
this season would have come up to
his.
The News can safely hold to this
view of the case, that Mr.. Loeb
ridges record should have been du-
plicated by every farmer in the
county. because the land all over
the county is just as good as is Mr..
Lochridges, and as oftimes stated
in these columns the "fall downs
are due altogether to the farmer
and not the land.
Take then this record as made
by Mr.. Lochridge-all should have
had it-and it gives for Randall
county this year: Fl bushels of
wheat per acre, 81 bushels of oats,
and 50 bushels of barley.
The News calls this pretty
good showing for any country.

Additional Train Service
For Colorado Tourists.

Beginning on the 10th. inst,
the F. W. & D. G. Ry.. ("The
Denver Road") re established
double-daily train service be-
tween Fort Worth and Denver
under faster schedules than ev-
err before. These trains leave
Fort Worth at 9:45 A. M. and
S:45 p. NJ, and arrive at Fort
Worth from Denver at $40 P. NJ.
and 1925 A. M. daily, thus pre-
serving connections with all
other Texas lines in both direC-
tons and affording Colorado
Tourists all that could be de-
sired. Each of these trains is
operated solid between Fort
Worth and Denver, and carry
Pullman Palace Sleepers and
also serve all meals in Superb
Cafe Cars at City Prices upon
the PAY Only For What You
Order plan.
In connection with the fore.
going, this company has placed
in service additional trains be-
tween Fort Worth and Quanah,
Texas, distance of 1862 miles,
for the accommodation of local
travel, and by reason of same
has been enabled to reduce the
time of through trains between
Fort Worth and Denver more
than two hours, all of which
should and will be appreciated
by Vacationists bound for "Cool
Colorado" and by the travelling
public generally.
