SIXTEEN BUSHELS
FROM ONE PEACH
TREE
RORTALEs ORCHARD YIELDS AN
IMMENSE CROP THIS
YEAR:

Colonel w W. HensIey, the sage
Of Delphos. Thursday Of this week
brought to the Times office some
peaches raised on his Delphos farm
that were simply immense says the
Portales Times. The trees on which
this fruit was grown are now seven
years old. and since the time they
have been old enough to bear they
have never failed to produce a crop.
Colonel Hensley has no irrigation
system on his place and his crops|
are watered only BY the sweat Of his
brow and what moisture the good
Lord sends him IN rain. gg
William Battenfield. who is, prob
ably the most successful farmer in
the valley, Thursday of this week
brought to the Times office three
peaches Of unusually large size, but
the size Of this fruit was not the most
marvellous part OF tine proposition.
They came off a tree that win, for
some time to come. carry the blue
ribbon for its productivity. Mr.. Bat
tenfield picked and marketed from
this one tree sixteen bushels OF
peaches which he sold at $3.50 per
bushel, or $24.OO worth Of fruit. This
Is not an old orchard and the trees
are not yet anywhere near matured
and will not yield their maximum for
three or four years yet, taking an ay-
erage, it may readily be seen tnat
peaches in the Portales valley are
anything but failure. Another prop
osition is that the size and flavor Of
this fruit was consiredably above tn.
best average that has ever been
brought to Por.qles.

BALD HEADS NOT WANTED
Badness is too Generally Consi-
dered a Sign of Advanced Age.

uered Sign OF Advanced Age.
A bald headed person does not have
an equal chance with one blessed with
healthy head of hair, because bald
ness is too generally accepted as an
indication of age. Many large corpora
lions have established an age limit, and
refuse to take men over 30 years of age
as new employees.
Probably IS per cent of bald headed
people may regain good head of
healthy hair if they will follow our
advice and accept our offer. We have
remedy that we positively guarantee
to grow hair on any head, unless the
roots of the hair are entirely dead,
their follicles closed, and the scalp has
become glazed and shiny. We want
people to try this remedy at our risk,
with the distinct understanding that
unless it does exactly what we claim it
will, and gives satisfaction in every
respect, we shall make no charge for
the remedy used during the trial.

FIRE DAMAGES CHURCH
St. Philips Church. Highland. Has
Close Call from Complete
DeStruStiOn.

ST. Philips church at Highland mar
rowly escaped destruction by fire on
Monday, April IS. But for the prompt
work of the Highland fire company,
and plenty of water to use, says The
Press the church would now be mass
of ruins. The loss will be between
$1,000 and 81 900 and is covered by in
surance. In commenting upon the
good work done in saving the building
The Press says: "A few years ago
some of our citizens questioned the
act of borrowing money to extend the
water mains. This instance shows the
wisdom of the investment. For a
seventy five thousand dollar structure
happened to be the first to prove the
value of the water works extension.
Had the water not been handy and
plenty there would have been only
charred walls standing to day"
