TEXAS GETS LIGHT RAIN.

Dallas, Tex, June 16.-The first rain drops in nearly 30 days fell We'd nesday night in numerous sections of north central Texas places where corn was almost burning up. Cotton must have moisture and gave rise to reports that the recent drouth was broken. Reports showed the rain was not general-that it consisted of hun dreds of light showers-which did some good, though, as rule, the mois- ture was hardly sufficient to lay the dust. A few points, however, received a good drenching. Dallas and Fort Worth appeared to have been nearest the center of the storm area, which 75 miles to 100 in all parts of the compass.

GREAT PLANT IS
 BEING INSTALLED

Little Rock, June 16.-Representa- tive Dave Glover of Hot Spring coun- ty is in the city and reports a force of about 100 men at work on the plant of the John Deere Flow Go. and the Moline Milling Co.,, which it has been estimated will cost in the neighbor- hood of $1,000,000. One of the fea- lures of the improvement now under way is 15-acre concrete floor for the storing of material. The spur from the Rock Island to the mill is also be- ing graded. The town presented the company a site of 40 acres, costing $4,500. It will be one of the greatest industrial plants in the history of the state. Another important factor in the growth of the city will be the con- struction of a line of railroads that will be absorbed, and all will be done in about six months.

The finest sample of dry land al
falfa which has been seen here this
year was brought in from w. A.
Nunnelly's ranch, at Arbon the last
of the week, by E. e. Earring. 1t is
second cutting, which makes it a
particularly fine sample. 1t measures
thirty three inches in height, the col
or is perfect, and the plant vigor-
Gus and healthy in every way. 1t
is the second splendid sample of dry
land alfalfa which Arbon has con-
tributed this year, both by people
who have gone into the valley With
the past three years, and indicate
possibilities along the feed line that
were little dreamed of a few years
ago. One cutting of such hay as the
sample would Justify every dry far
mer in the valley to seed a good
acreage, and when two cuttings can
be secured it makes the most profit
able crop he can grow. Mr.. Nunnelly
B. certainly entitled to the blue rib
bon on dry land alfalfa. The sample
will be added to a permanent exhib-
1t and may possibly result in doing
the section where it was grown a
great deal of good. The Nunnelly
place represents about an average
of the Arbon valley. 1t is high and
contains no swampy land, and the
distance to water is in the neighb bor-
hood of 100 feet.
