Over Thirty-Five Bushels.

The Brand feels that Il is useless
to further argue that the Panhandle
is a fine wheat country To do so
might leave the impression that there
was some doubt as to the possibilities
OF the country. But now comes
more evidence of the productivity Of
the soil OF the Plains. II, II Stan
ley who lives on the Frio and some
five miles from the city has just
threshed the record breaking wheat
crop OF the season, making an aver
age Of thirty-flve and one-third
bushels TO the acre. Mr. Stanley only
had q small acreage, but he used the
famous Campbell system OF soil cul-
tivation and gave special attention in
every detail OF the crop, beginning
with the study OF the condition OF
the soil and carrying out as far as
possible the method advocated by
Mr.. Campbell That he has eminently
succeeded cannot he disputed and
shows beyond a doubt that there has
been sufficient rainfall in the Pan
handle to raise a big wheat crop on
every farm II only the farmers had
taken the trouble to save the mois-
ture and keep the season for the use
OF the crops. Brand

at ten bushels per acre it Ia a money
crop. This year Is much dryer than
the average and am convinced that
in favorable years the yield would
run up much higher. | planted the
