This section of the county has
had several nice rains the past
week, and the prospects are good
for bumper corn crop, while the
grass has again started growing
and the farmers still have hopes of
getting fair hay crop. The small
grain is much better than was ex-
pected and it has been demonstra-
ted that this soil will retain mois-
ture as well as any on earth if it is
properly cultivated. At no time
this season has the ground been
too dry, but a day or two of hot
winds caught some of the early,
small grain while it was in blossom.
and this grain will not amount to
much. There is too much prairie
in this country and when the
ground is broken up there will be
no more hot winds. This has been
the experience in all new countries,
also the question of wells will be
settled when the country is broken
up and the moisture is retained
instead of running off into the
draws and creeks. Hayes Home

The Sunday School rally in o.
ney's grove last Sunday held by
the Powell and Nowlin Sunday
Schools, while not so we'll attend

cess. At noon sumptuous picnic
DINNER was served after which a
short time was spent socially un-
til two o'clock when our Sunday
School Supt., Mrs. Starbuck took
charge of the Sunday School in
the usual manner, followed by a
nice program in charge of Rev.
Ellis, and we wish to mention
specially the splendid paper written
and read by Mrs. Starbuck. After
the close of the program q few
pictures were taken of the picnic

thanks to Mr.. and Mrs. Olney for
their kindness and courtesy of so
willingly giving us the pleasure of
spending pleasant day in their
grove. -Wokama Leader.
