LOSES 400 ACRES CORN
Capt. Thomas Not Discour
aged Though Heavy
Loser.

Capt. John j. Thomas, one of
our large Red river planters, had
about 400 acres of fine corn de-
stroyed by the recent overflow
which would have made about 40
bushels to the acre producing in
the neighborhood of IL, 900 bushels.
Capt. Thomas also runs a large
lumber plant and had market for
the greater part of the corn at
home, which would have been
worth at least so cents per bushel
to him.
Capt. Thomas is Ii no way dis
eoulaged and will start his men at
work to put in 200 acres more of
late COL which he expects to make
about 80 bushels to the acre.

superintendent Rabbit has made
complete arrangements for transpor-
tatien and for their stay on the coast,
for the thirty school teachers to go
from here to attend the summer ses-
sion of the University of California.
They are to leave here on the army
transport sailing from here July 6.
The summer session begins earlier
than that, but some of the courses do
not begin until July Is and so teach
ers from here can attend any of these
in time for the beginning of the school
work in the fall these teachers will
have to leave San Francisco by the
transport leaving August s. But the
question will come up at the next
meeting of the Board whether these
teachers cannot be permitted to re-
turn on the transport leaving Septem-
Der 5, which will bring them here
just few days after the term begins.
The fee for the summer session is
SIS, but Mr.. Rabbit has made ar
rangements for proportionate re-
duction for teachers from here ar
