AMARILLO SILL DRY.
Comptroller Stephens Holds Election
Void While Contest Of 1907
Is in Courts.

Amarillo is dry again, fgura-
lively speaking. The recent To-
cal option election is declared
void so long as the case of 1907
is still in the courts. Meanwhile
the comptroller demands the re-
turn of those licenses which he
had issued before this ruling
was made. Thus Amarillo will
have the long fought battle still
to fight unless something unex-
pected happens.

THE REGISTRATION

Registration began at the court
house Tuesday afternoon and is

reach the POO mark before the
term is much advanced. The
students come from all parts of
the state, and "A few are from
Oklahoma and New Mexico. The
farthest away are three COM

SEEDING.

Sow all wheat with some goUd
reliable grain drill and cover it
with the press wheel attachment.
The press wheel attachment
firms the ground Immediately
around the seed, and insures it
coming up evenly and better.
The seed should be planted in
moist soil at depth of from one
and one half to three inches.
Seed can be sown slightly deeper
in loose sandy soil than in a
heavy or tight soil. 1t is far
better to SOW a small acreage,
and do it well, than to sow twice
as many acres and give it but
one. half of the needed work.

SOWING MORE WHEAT
AND BETTER WHEAT
II. MlBAiNER;TELlS HOW TO SOW
AND CARE FOR WHEAT.
The. Preparation Of the Ground. the
Quality Of the Seed and Seed.
ing is Discussed.

With the increased acreage OF
wheat that is to be sown this fall
more than ordinary care should
be used in securing good seed,
and in preparing the ground for
it. Usually the yield and quality
of wheat crop is very much af-
fected by the amount of work
and attention given to it. Judging
from present indications, this
fall S wheat ground is going to
be poorly prepared, and great
deal of poor seed will be sown.
Mr.. Farmer, don't let this last
statement mean you.
PREPARATION OF SEED BED.
Deep plowing just before seed
ing time is not advisable, as
wheat requires firm seed bed.
Deep.plowing at the right time.
is very favorable to wheat pro
ductiOn, especially in hard soils.
Under these conditions the land
should abe plowed long enough
before seeding time so that it
will become well settled before
the wheat is sown. Deep plow-
ing for wheat in August or Sep
tember is not advisable. Lands
prepared at this time, or later.
should be worked shailow-at a
depth not to exceed four or five
inches. Often, where there are
but few if any weeds, the disc
harrow will make a good seed
bed without blowing, provided
the land has been well worked
the previous year. Under all
conditions of plowing for wheat
whether deep or shallow, the
should be packed, or har
rowed or both, Immediately af
ter the plow, this not only helps
to hold the moisture, but firms
the ground and puts it in a bet
ter physical condition.

GOOD SEED.

Too much cannot be said in
favor of good pure seed. A
great deal of the wheat which
will be used for seed this fall is
very badly mixed and is of an
inferior quality. 1t pays to SOW
good seed, even if it has to be
bought at price slightly above
market. Seed grown under sim
liar conditions will produce bet
ter crops than that grown under
different conditions. Good seed
wheat for Oklahoma and Texas
can be secured at Kansas points.
slightly above market prices.
a mistake that should not be
made in sowing too much seed
per acre; from three pecks to
five pecks per acre is enough,
depending on the soil and con
ditions.
1t is a good plan to treat the
seed wheat for smut, whether
the wheat appears free from it
or not. The "FormaIin Treat
ment" is considered the most re-
liable

This Week.

the first services of the Wes
Texas State Normal were held
in the Methodist church. Tn,
Normal building is not in proper
condition to receive the students
and provision was made to hole
classes and get organized in the
court house. The work will be
transferred to the Normal in q
few days now.
At the opening session. the
church was packed to the doors
With students, citizens and high
school scholars. Every one in
Canyon has a deep interest in
the Normal, and business was
almost suspended during the
hour the service was held. At
the beginning of the service
President Cousins announced
that the formal opening would be
postponed until December. and
that the session Tuesday was On
the Introductory order.
The first number of the pro-
gram was the hymn. Holy, Holy,
Holy after which Rev. J. NJ.
Harder, of the Baptist church,
was introduced to the audience,
and who responded with few
we'll chosen words of welcome.
We do not alone welcome you to
the city, to the county, to the
Plains, or to the great state of
Texas, but we welcome you to
our hearts, " was the keynote of
Rev. Harder's address. The
gift of the citizens to the Normal
was not with a view of financial
gain, said the speaker. but it
was to make this the greatest
Normal in the state: it was q
gift to the future generation.
The city of Canyon extends vel
come for what she expects of the
students in civic righteousness;
for the influence they will have
over our boys and girls; for the
moral and spiritual influence eX-
pected of them; they were vel
coined for the education they.
now have, and for what they ex-
pect to gain while here; they
were welcomed for the education
al influence they would bring,
and the influence of youth upon
those who are growing old.
After this string and patriotic
address, America" was sung.
President Cousins then took
charge of the service and made
several announcements in regard
to the opening which will be held
in December and regarding the
work until they moved into the
new building The domestic
science, manual training, agri-
cultural and music departments
will not begin operations until
the building is completed. But
other work will progress nicely
and there is much to do until
that time. Many false impress
siOns had been sent abroad re-
garding the work, said the pres
ident, hence the attendance was
cut down some. But let US not
be as much interested in those
who are not present as those who
are present. We are going to
make it profitable for those who
are here" In speaking of other
schools Pres. Cousins said, This
institution is not a competitor in
any small sense and is not a ri
val in any sense with any school
in this country. There is work
enough for every institution in
Texas so none need infringe up
on the work of another. Each
one doing its duty there is still
plenty of people yet unreached. :"
