Dry Land Crop

A procession moved down Lamar's
main street this afternoon that is one
of the best dry land advertisements
ever shown here. 1t was fourteen
loads of shelled corn, each hauled by
six to eight horses going down to
Strain Bros. warehouse. The corn was
a part Of last years crop raised by
Emil Lapel of Villas in Baca county.
All told his last years crop footed up
1000 bushels and this seasons yield
will be larger. The theory that this
is not a corn country is being thor
oughly dispelled the last few seasons,
and both dry land and irrigated farm
ers will have big yields this season.
The Lamar territory will feed more
sheep and cattle than ever before this
winter, but for the first time there will
be no big shipments of grain into the
county for feeding purposes. This
money will this year and in the future
stay at home.

Fine Orchards

From all sections of Prowers county
comes the same report of the most
enormous fruit crop ever known in
this section. Pears, which never be
fore did very well here, are literally
breaking down the trees this fall.
Peaches are to be found in car LOAF
lots in most any locality and hundreds
of trees are just loaded with the lus-
cious fruit that will not ripen until
October. Plums, which are always a
standby crop, are far more plentiful
than ever this season, and it is al
most impossible to care for all the big
crop. Apples of all varieties are so
plentiful as to be almost a drug on
the market and the cider presses are
turning out a big product daily.
Grapes too are becoming plentiful and
the orchardists are reaping the re-
ward. of their past endeavors in full
measure this year. Nothing approach
ing this fruit crop was ever known
here before.

Some samples Of the new forage
crop, soudan grass, that were gather
ed by Mr.. Stream this week at Gus
Nygren's farm north Of Bristol and
the Marvel ranch of the A. B. S. Co.,
have been on exhibit at the Register
Office and have attracted much atten-
ton. The first cutting is over nine
feet high and one seed had produced
SO long stems. The second cutting
while not so tall is much thicker on
the ground and will make almost an
equal tonnage. This will soon be-
come one of the great crops of the
dry farmers as its feeding value is
very great and it requires only a
small amount of moisture to insure a
crop. In favorable seasons three or
four crops can be obtained. Mr.
Stream also in his rounds run on to a
specimen Of corn showing 10 well de-
veloped ears growing from one seed.
The jackrabbits of the plains are

After Hail Loss

Mint Snider threshed his wheat
from his so acre field last week on
which the insurance company after
careful inspection had willingly paid
a twenty per cent hail loss. The re-
turns showed an average of 4s BUSH
els per acre for the entire field. This
makes the actual returns equal to go
bushels and it is likely that the fig
ures would have been even greater
than that but for the hail.

noenee" Bill improper Term
for Philippine Measure.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Why the ad-
ministration is insisting on passage
OF the pending bill to enlarge the
measure of self-government OF the
Philippine islands was explained to
the senate Philippine committee by
Secretary Garrison.
In long prepared statement he de-
clared the measure had been improper
ly termed the Philippine independ-
ence bill" and that II was merely a
step. with proper safeguards, towards
self-government and exactly In line
with promises held out to the Fill
pinos for years by the United States.
The preamble. which would declare
the intention OF the United States to
ultimately grant complete independ-
ence to the islands, Secretary Garri-
son said, was but a repetition OF
pledges already made over and over
again.
