had a fine rain yesterday. Crops are
looking fine, and most everybody is
done cutting their second crop of hay.
Hay is $50 per ton at present.
We had lteetr from Wetumka, Ok
lahoma, stating that all the corn crops
were burned up and the cotton was
almost gone. The man we got the let
ter fro msaid that he had the New
Mexico fever bad.
Hello, Mrs. C. C. Stone. l guess you
will be surprised to read letter from
me. We are all well, and hope this
will find you all the same. When do
you think you will come back to New
Mexico? We are wanting to see you
real bad. Mrs. Alfred Stone.

Kind Editor: II you have room or
space l will jot down few words, as
noticed there was not many letters
in the last issue of the Herald. / guess
most of the boys out west are like my
self-they haven't time or much to
write about only the dry weather and
hot winds, and they hate to mention
that, no doubt.
Health is very good in this part at
present, the worst being a few cases
of the blues.
Prospects for crops are very poor.
We have not had any rain since the
18th of May. There has been five days
of real hot wind The dry weather,
hot wind and chinch bugs have been
too much for the corn in this part.
If we get part of crop we are doing
well this year.
Wesley Mott says Tennessee brier
patches would look good to him.
Roscoe Hickey purchased a fine Ell
gin watch the other day, so guess he
won't miss the train when he starts
