1T went directly over the hotel and
dropped bombs around us"
There was hardly a space of five sec
onds during the 10 minutes or more
that the searchlight beams rested on
the raider, eye-Witnesses said, that
the sky was not lighted by flashes of
exploding shells AS time passed, those
who had fled at first to cellars, gained
courage and came out into the streets.
They were in almost every stage of un-
dress, eye-witnesses said, and thou
sands of men, women and children
walked the streets, or stood in groups,
gazing upward, dressed only in their
night clothes.
Zeppelin Tactics
The bursting shells, lighting the sky
like meteors, shattered into sudden fire
all around the Zeppelin. The spits of
flame seemed to be finding their target.
Meantime the Zeppelin Unanswered over
the Holborn section of London. circlins
at least twice. The maneuvers ended
when a shell burst almost directly under
the aircraft's bow.
A swerve, a sudden dip and the Zeppe
lin was lost to the searchlghts. mo-
ment later the airship was spotted and
she appeared to be going down by the
head. For few seconds she lowered
uncertainty. then righted, pointed her
nose slightly upward and assembled so
rapidly that within minute or two the
searchlights could find her no more.
Wrath But Not Fear
London went to bed that night with
hot wrath. but not in fear these passen-
bers said The next day, at recruiting
stations which had been empty the day
before. there We're long lines of men
waiting, eager to join the army.
Batk of the cathedral, where there are
many warehouses, there were visible ef-
fects of the raid An entire city block
was in ashes. The burned buildings had
been filled with clothing and other sup
plies for the British army. There We're
no munitions in the building, however, it
was said. r
Among the Ruins
At the Ophthalmic hospital in the CEN
trail section of the city considerable DAM
age done by bomb which had
fallen about a block away. This build
ing and two others converted into hos
pitfalls for wounded soldiers had felt the
force of the explosion as if it had been
at their doors.
In Bloomfield street cavity of 80 feet
in diameter and about eight feet deep,
made by an explosive bomb, was the
center from which for three squares had
radiated destruction.
AT another place. about 10 minutes ride
from the Victoria Hotel, six-story ten
ement had been demolished. 1t was re-
ported that five persons had been killed
in their beds in this building and that
more than % had been hurt. AltoGeth-
er it was unoficially reported about 40
persons were killed by bombs and go or
more wounded. About nalf of these. it
was said, We're women and children.
Not government building. not a
church. nor an arsenal, dock or hospital
had been reached by bomb, the Ordu-
mas passengers were informed. The
greatest material damage, they said, was
the destruction by fire of the block of
warehouses near st. iaulS cathedral.
The chief result of the raid. they said.
was to swell the number of recruits by
many thousands.

Egyptian Wheat Has
a Very Poor Record

Egyptian wheat has a record that
10 not very fattering, according to
the Agricultural college. A small
display of this wheat has been In the
New Era window for some time and
recently c. Fl. Codding sent sample
to Fort Collins. A letter in reply
follows:
The wheat 10 a common one. II Is
known by various names such as Egyp-
tian, Alaskan, Many. headed, etc. 1t
is quite common wheat and mas fg-
ured in more seed frauds 10 the past
ten years than any other variety with
which we are acquainted. We have
known and worked with the wheat
for some ten or fifteen years and have
records of experiments In large mum
ber OF different stations and local..
ties.
The wheat Is OF very poor quality
from the miller's standpoint. On the
market 1t Is OF such poor quality that
II usually classes as feed wheat. De.
spite the many branched heads. and
It's great promise. It seldom yields as
heavy as many of our ordinary wheats
even under the best conditions. On
the Station farm at Fort Collins, We
have never got yields above 40 bushels
per acre with this wheat, and with
two or three other kinds have OBJ
tained yields above rs bushels. In
fact. in the best irrigated section
about Fort Collins there are q few
fields that yield as high or higher
than rs bushels per acre, and we have
one record on Held adjoining the
college farm where the yield was as
high as 90 bushels per acre. This
yield was obtained only one season
and has never been repeated.
You may perhaps recall q wheat
which was widely advertised by . Sat
urday Evening Post article about
eight years ago. The Saturday Even.
ing Post came out with an article tell.
log about wonderful yields Of wheat
called the Alasks wheat being grown
| 10 Oregon. The article told OF the
nyihicsI fndins pf seeds 70 an In
Idisn mound, or some simflsr tmprOb.
able source OF the origin of the seed
supply. This wheat was Alaska wheat
which is the same variety you have
sent In for Identification. At that
time such a storm Of protest was
raAed by the government and state
experimental men that the Saturday
Evening Post sent a personal repre-
sentative to Oregon to Investigate the
case. Later, they came out with
long article retracting all they had
said In the previous one. This Is the
same wheat which you have sent 10.

Cows, Sows and Silos

The need Of COWS in Crowley county
and the big agricultural district to
the north becomes more apparent
every day. To properly keep cows
silos are next TO necessity. and with
cows the SOW ID an Important adjunct.
for without few hogs around a barn
yard where COWS are kept the fullest
extent Of pront 10 not realized.
We have expressions from men 10
all lines of business encouraging US in
the support Of this industry. With
cows creamery or some institution
OF the kind Will be necessity, but
when we get the COWS, we'll get the
proper kind Of plants TO care for the
products.
We raise sugar beets, but II we pro-
duce sugar beets alone we live for
many months OF the year with no in
come whatever. and the surplus from
that crop is waste unless We have
something to which we may feed 1t.
We raise csntaloupes. but II we raised
can taloupes alone we would have six
short weeks NJ the most when we
would realize cash return. We pro-
duce alfalfa hay. but II We raised al
falfa hay alone We would again face
the situation Of living several months
on what the hay crop brought US dur
Ing the portion OF the year II was be-
Ing marketed
+ These things We produce and well
we should for they are our principal
crops, but the need OF something. 1T
least as sideline. to bring US In a
little cash revenue each month In the
year Is appearent, for In producing
the money monthly IL cost US to live
We may then come out at the end OF
the year, when our books are balanced,
with the proceeds from good crop Of
beets, hay or csntaloupes as margin
OF pront to be laid aside or paid on the
land We may yet owe for, and not be
compelled to check it all out for bills
we may have Incurred during the pre-
ceding montha-
We need COWS sows and silos. We
need more stoceso eat beet tops, clean
