SiXTY-THREE BUSHELS PER
ACRE

Gillespie brothers threshed out
fifty-three sacks of wheat from two
acres, for c. Demeyer, last week. The
sacks weighed one hundred and forty
pounds each, making a total of sew
en- Thousand four hundred and twen-
ty pounds, or a yield of sixty-three
bushels per acre. This is said to be
the best wheat ever grown in the
valley, and it certainly is a good
showing for the valley as wheat
producing section. In fact the records
show that most any kind of farm
crops yield enormously here under
the favorable climatic conditions and
where water is cheap and plentiful
Wiley. E.. Hill and wife were down
from their river ranch the past week.
Wiley has bought up string OF the
worst bucking broncos to be found in

and will ship them out to enter in
some of the national contests several

FAVOR UNITED ACTION.
Editor Herald:

Editor Herald:
We read with interest, your artical
in last weeks Herald relating to the
building of a wagon road to CalzOna,
and telling of some Of the advant-
age of that route over others to
the railroad.
AS you say, the question Of a good
wagon road out of the valley to con-
meet at some point with the railroad,
is one OF much importance to us all.
There should be united action ON
some one road to the railroad. The
Blythe Junction road it would seem,
is not practicable, there is not a
single freight outfit outside OF
Browns travelling over the Junction
road, now all the freighting except
that done by the caterpillar is being
done over the Glamis road.
The CLAIMS road has it's numerous
disadvantages, among the many
being the long distance, bad valley
roads and water hauls.
If we can get a reasonably good
road out to the Santa Fee at Calzona,
by all means let us lay aside pers-
onal prejudice and all join in one
effort to do it. Such a road would
be a lasting benefit to the valley
and a special benefit to the farm
ers until such a time as we get the
much desired railroad.

The rainstorm OF last Sunday even

the history of the valley. The wind
blew a terrific gale and more than
one inch of water fell in less than

damage to tents and light buildings.
Blythe will soon have cold sto-

the erection OF a good sized plant
of this kind to be built here. The
structure will be built in the north
west part of town and will be an up

Mrs. Jane Shea has built neat
