BUMPER CROPS IN
 SULPHUR SPRING VALLEY

DOUGLAS, Oct D. Special )-
 Bumper crops in the Sulphur Spring valley are the reward of the rancher who planted th.s his first crop on the valley homestead. Not in 12 years has there been such crop of grass in the valley. Rain began falling the first week in July and has continued till September's last week, sending the moisture several feet into the ground to be retained for some months to come.
 The haymakers are busy throughout the length and breadth of the valley. Ranchman Sharkey, TOUT miles from Courtland, is putting up 100 tons of hay, most Of which will be baled for market. This same ranchman has 20 acres of sorghum, which was planted thisk for fedder. and will bring at least $15 per ton, also several acres Of beans, all of which has been grown without the aid of irrigation
 Ten miles south of Courtland G. I. Van Meter has 70 acres of alfalfa. Part is on irrigated and part on unir- Figated land.

SyUer-oner vrInq.w ranee

On the west coast of India is found a species of oyster, Placuna placen- la, whose shell consists of a pair of roughly circular plates about six inches in diameter, thin and white. At present these oysters are collected for the pearls which they often con
 tain. although few are fit for the use of the jeweler. But in the early days of English rule in India the shells were employed for window-panes. Cut into little squares, they produced a very pretty effect admitting light like frosted glass. When the Bombay ca thedral was built, at the beginning of the eighteenth century, it's windows were paned with these oyster shells
 ln Goa they are still thus employed
