BIG PRAIRIE FIRE,
Large Scope Of Country Burned Over Last
Sunday Buildings Are Burned,

Last Sunday and Sunday night
the southwestern portion of this
county and the country south.
west Of US was placed in an up
roar on account Of one of the
tiercest prairie fires that has
been in this section of the state
for many years. The fire started
southeast of Hereford. We have
not been able to ascertain the or
igin but it is currently reported
that some boy lighted a cigarette
and threw the match down on
the grass. There was a high
wind blowing form the south
west and the flames shot up and
went forward with the speed of
a race horse.
The people of that entire coun-
try turned out to protect their
property and it was only by the
hardest kind of work that much
damage to buildings was averted.
Reports say that the territory
covered was from six to ten
miles wide. Late Sunday after.
noon the wind changed to the
north and the fire started south
and just how far it went we have |
not ascertained.
Several people from the scene
Of the fire on the north side were
in the city Monday and had
some amusing incidents TO tell
about how the people acted, and
still more serious things to tell
about how the work Of stopping
the fire was accomplished. Back
fires were started but in many
cases this did not avail.

PROFIT IN GOOBeR PEAS.
Randall County Citizen Raises Small Patch Of
Peanuts Which Shows Amazing Results.

We have, from time to time, re-
ported various kinds of crops
grown in this country and they
show that good results can be
had from anything that is prop
erly sown and cultivated.
In conversation with j. l.. Rey-
nolds who lives in the northwest
ern portion of the city, this
week, Mr.. Reynolds told the re-
porter about some peanuts which
he grew out at his home this
year. He said that he had eight
and one-half rows of these goob-
ers, each row being sixty five
yards long, and that he had just
gathered the crop and from this
small patch he had secured over
twelve bushels of the peanuts.
Taking this patch as basis he
would have grown on one acre a
little more than one hundred
bushels and at the market price
in this city he could have re.
ceived $4,000 for the product of
this one acre Of land. In addi-
ton to this the tops of these nuts
IRE very fine for hay being very
fattening for horses and COWS.
