Harvey C. Erickson, of Claude,
Ipent the day in Amarillo Saturday.
Mr.. Erickson was formerly an

credulous about the reports of the
big crops raised on the cheap Pan

ports that he has $50 acres in oats

the yield is as high as fifty bushels.
Forty acres in wheat he expects to
average fifteen to twenty bushels.
Indian corn is waist high and the
acreage will be twenty. to thirty-flve

These yields compare very favor
ably with those of the high priced
Iowa land to which he has been ac-
customed and Mr.. Erickson predicts
a great farming future for the Pan

AMARILLO GUN
CLUB IN ACTION
tFrom Mondays DailyJ

A thoroughly representative crowd
OF gun enthusiasts responded to Sec
rotary ]. w. Rice's invite Saturday
evening and the Glenwood traps saw
some remarkably good work per-
formed,
Perhaps the feature OF the even
ing's performance was the shooting
Of Fuzzy" the 9-year old son OF Il,
T. Forsgard Of Waco. With 90
target rifle, the youngster split a
business card edgewise, which his
father held at a distance Of about
ten PAGES. He also plugged on the
fly, the smallest articles that could
be thrown in the air by his father.
A remarkable performance, however,
was the almost circular perforation
OF card with twelve shots also
held in the hand OF he senior Fors-
gard.
Club members and their friends in
squads shot rs rounds each at the
clay pigeons, the outcome OF which
showed that the Amarillo Gun Club
comprises in its membership some
rafting good marksmen and others
who soon will be rated as such.
Mr.. Forsgard killed his whole line
OF twenty-five birds and w. Wolf So.
cured twenty-four OF his twenty-five.
Among the local shots w. r. Kauf-
man, a non-member recorded twenty
out OF his endeayors, and c. p. Coble
went him two better, securing TWEEN
ty-two. DR.. McMeans' score showed
eighteen with Dr.. Harrell very close
with seventeen. The fifteens, four
teens and thirteens were numerous,
and it was growing dusk when the
trap boys announced all pigeons gone
and very successful and most en-
joyable shoot was brought to a close.
The following were the gentlemen
who participated and their highest
scores we're:
E. f. Forsgard %; W. Wolf "a;
C. P. Coble 22; w. R. kaufman 90;
DR.. McMeans IS; DR.. Harrell IL;
