LARGE YIELD
IS EXPECTED
NEAR GROVER

Grover, Aug. 10.-Because OF the
increased rainfall the last SIX
months over the same time last
wear, the crops in the Grover dis.
trict will bring far greater yield
than OF any previous year. The
Burlington railroad is making prep
arations to put on more rolling
stock between Cheyenne and Steri-
ing to handle the fall crops. Next
week wheat will be cut and the
threshing outfits will be at work.
Three threshing crews are overhaul
ing their equipment and will leave
Monday morning for the dry land
farms west Of here.
Corn is shoulder high and the
ears are fast maturing. Flax near
Hereford is growing fast and will
prove a big crop.
The 1868 inches of rain that has
fallen in the last six months has
filled the small reservoirs and
few farmers have been able to irri-
gate a portion Of their fields. Fail
ures will be rare this year and many
homesteaders are taking advantage
of the new three year homestead
ruling and are proving up on their
100 acres.
