HUNTINGTON, Jan. G.-Pellagra, a
strange disease; new to science, made
It's first fatal, appearance In Hunting-

OF H. L. Miller, Ga years old,3a labor

avenue and Twehty.frst street.
Miller had been afflicted with pei
lagra for something over three years,
the usual time given for victim of
the disease which is said to be fatal
in every case
DR.. P. Fl. Swami. who attended the
deceased. says it is the seconti time
in his life as physician that he has
seen a similar case.
1t is a nervous .affliction, affecting
also the blood and brain, causing ugly
sores to break out on the back OF
hands and the face.
Several hospitals in the southern
part OF this country have made
special study of the disease, but have
been totally unable to cope With its
ravages.
The late Mr.. Miller will be buried

FINE FRUIT RAISED
ON WATSON'S RANCH
Prize Stalk of BrOomcorn
Comes From Farm Near
DOIlplaS Arizona.

Douglas, Ariz, Sept. 5.-Peaches by
the wagonload. apples galore and none
of 1t the puny fruit that would excite
the pleasure of the knocker, are among
the product of the 500 tree orchard Of
". J. Watson, of the Silver Creek vi
cinity.
Mr. Watson's orchard is five years
old and is in splendid condition, all
fruits being large and healthy look
ing. Some of the peaches he brought
in would apparently tip the scales at a
half pound or more, while his apples
were equally large.
Mr.. WatsOns place is about II miles
northeast of Douglas
The champion stalk of broomcOrn
for the season has been presented by
H. C. Magarren to the Douglas cham
Der of commerce and mines. 1t was
produced on the farm of julius Welge-
hansen, seven miles northwest of this
city, and stands exactly 10 feet and
1 IL inches high The straw is long
and of good quality.
Antoher product of the Welgehausen
ranch brought in by Mr.. Magarrel was
a 81 pound watermelon. This was a
good sample of the melons raised
there, he stated. The melon was not
presented to the chamber, but was
consumed at the Magarrell home with
much guSto. The melon, in spite of
its great size, was of excellent flavor
and very juicy

BIC WHEAT CROP
Estimated There Are More
Than 100000 Bushels
in Amarillo Section.

Amarillo. Texas. Sept 5.-WhiIe some
of the threshing remains to be done in
the Panhandle, it is estimated on a
conserva tive basis that the wheat crCp
in this section of the state has yielded
more than 5000, 900 bushels. Amarillo
alone is spending somewhat more than
$4,000 daily for milling and feed
stuffs with the farmers, to say moth
ing Of the purchases made by grain
dealers and feed establishments
It is conservatively estimated that
2,500.0 will be required for the
handling of the grain crop-that is to
say, the wheat crop. and the oat mil
let, barley. spells, flax. rye and other
grains will come in for an extra share
o. money in exchange.
This wheat yield is twice as large as
ever before in the history of the Pan
handle, and the same may be said.
based on the present outlook, of the
strictly feed crops, including milo
maize and kaffir corn. Haying crops
are extraordinarily strong this sea
son, each of them showing an increased
acreage. Much of the hay crops have
already been harvested, and The quail
ity has never been better than at pres
ent
Rolling stock on leading lines is al
ready in demand for the moving of this
volume of grain and hay products, and

Roswell, N NJ, Sept 5.-Reports from
the mountain country say that there
will be a big fruit crop this year. The
Frank Coe place on the HOndo will
have an unusually large crop of fruit.
The Ellis orchard in Lincoln county is
heavily loaded and is of a grade little
inferior to anything in this section
Henry Fritz, nine miles below Lincoln,
has a variety of fruits and I'll will
produce heavy crops. The famous
Aunset ranch raises possibly the fin
est display and commercial apples in
this section, chief of which is the
STARK delicious" which brings SO to 81
While the crop this year will not be
heavy, it will be of an extra good
grade.
The apple crop in the valley around
Roswell, Hagerman and Dexter will
not be so large this year as it was
in 1911, but four-fifths of the crop
will be fancies, standards and packs
Fewer culls will be produced.
