Another evidence OF the adapta-
billty OF Panhandle soil and Panhan-
die climate for the growing OF fruit
was furnished us this morning by
Dean Kirk in the shape OF a twig
which he cut from the top Of one of
his peach trees. Upon count It was
found to bear forty-two we'll deyel-
oped peaches OF size and flavor that
would compare fayorably with any
that grow. For size and quantity
we surpass the famous Pecos val

II hogs, alfalfa, sugar beets, and all
kinds OF farm crops in the Panhan-
die had not already attracted the
eyes OF the world. this section would
srill become famous for its fruit.

these clubs all mean huge votes TO

results OF their labors will soon be
apparent whether first honors

subject to the gravest debate. Ar
