The present seasop is no exception
to the quite general rule that, while
seasons of drought cut down yields of
small grain and corn in sections where
1t is most severe, there is matured dur
ing such dry seasons quality of grain
that is plump. well filed and heavy.
In a good many sections where the
rainfall was not too short the growers
are this season getting both yield and
quality, while prospective market con-
ditlons promise them excellent returns
for their seasons operations.

of cowpeas and COW horn turnips there
could hardly be a better combination
for loosening and adding humus to

the turnips grow the way they should

At no time since Pacific coast fruit
growers began shipping their produce
to eastern markets has the fruit thus
shipped been placed upon central and
eastern markets in finer shape both as
regards appearance and quality than
has been the case this present season.
Peaches, pears. nectarines and the
several large varieties OF plums have
been displayed in the large and small
markets. and the sale has been un-
usually large Without question this
is IN part due 10 the scarcity of fruit
In many Of the central states. but the
large sale Is also due 10 the fine quail
ity and condition of the western fruit.
This in turn Is the result Of greater
care in picking and handling. uniform

better facilities for cooling fruit before

Western fruit growers should make
the most Of the advantage which has
been theirs this year. for there Is little

judgment In the distribution OF ship

The floods caused by yesterday heavy rains in Missouri and Kansas coupled with wrecks, is playing havoc with train service in that sec. ton. especially on the Kansas City Southern.
 Passenger train No. 1, due to ar rive here at AIS a. m, came in this morning five and one-half hours late. This train left Kansas City on time yesterday and encountered its first trouble at Eve, Mo, when two freight wrecks were reported, the first one-half mile, and the other five miles south of that point. Ow- ing to this, and the floods still far ther south, this train was detoured from Eve over the Katy tracks to Fort Scott, Kas., thence over the Frisco to Pittsburg and back on the Kansas City Southern tracks. Then everything went well until Heavener was reached early this morning, when the train came in contact with another freight wreck caused by a tire being off one of the drive wheels of an engine. necessitating a temporary track be- ing built from the main line to a side track before passage could be obtained. This was done and No. 1 arrived here as stated.
 The last report on passenger train No. 3, due to arrive here at 3:15 this afternoon. was that it was two hours late.

several children survive. Mr..
LYDIA was a prosperous farmer.
He was in town a few days ago
locking up some land deed which
he said at the time had never been
recorded but for which he claim
ed to have given his son the nsses-
sary fees. Mr.. LYDIA was put un-
de ra peace bon dlast week, on a
warrant sworn out by his wife,
and whether the murder was an
outcome of an attack by him on
his wife In which the son inter-
ferred, or was a result of quar-
rel over some land matters, or just
plain robbery, is not known.
