BIC REVENUE FROM ,
BROOM CORN CROP

A good many favorable yields
of broom corn have been report.
ed this year. The farmers have
derived an especially good reve-
nue. from this crop on account of
the prevailing high prices.
The A. B. Gurley Broom Corn
Co. of Clovis has purchased the
greater part of the Curry county
crop and there are many instan-
ces of where they have paid far
mers more for their broom corn
than the land it was raised on
would sell for, This is true of
the broom corn raised by G. W.
Ryle of near Melrose. He had
fifty acres and made 100 bales of
brush which sold for in the
neighborhood of $4,000.

there is a prevalent belief that swimmers
who have disappeared have been killed by
them. The theory that they suffered from
cramps and were drowned is rejected for
the more picturesque theory that they fell
victims TO the horrible man eaters The
fact that sharks appear in the waters Is
undoubted. In the summer OF 1875 a swim
mer OF the coast between Hastings and Fair
light on the way to a smack about 400
yards from the shore felt some kind of a
big fish rub against his left leg when about
100 yards from the boat. He yelled and
struck out wildly. Immediately his left
arm rubbed against the same fish. He coA-
tinued TO shout and swim as fast as he
could. He managed to attract the attention
of some men In a small boat. but before
they could reach him the fish seraped
against him two or three times more. The
men in the boat saw 1t and said II was a
large blue shark. 1t had been pursuing the
usual course of its kind In swimming about
what 1t thought might be a meal, noslng Il
and rubbing against IL to discover what 1t
was like The man was doubtless saved
by his shoutings and splashings. The shark
is a timid creature. 1t seldom gets into
shallow water. The advice given 10 Eng
lish bathers Is that during the shark sea-
son of July and August they battle Ia large
companies and that no one venture alone
into the deep water away from the others
The wisdom Of this advice is apparent when
II Is recalled that both swimmers who were
attacked on the Jersey coast were in deep
water alone

MAN-EATING SHARKS
Few Authentic Instances Of Their At
tack on Human Beings

since two bathers have been killed by a
shark on the Jersey coast within a week
Of each other there is likely TO be less
skeptleism about the existence Of man
eating sharks. Men of science familiar
with the habits of this big fish have
doubted all reports that they are in the
habit of attacking swimmers in the sea.
There was a diving boy at Alden a few
years ago who reaped rich harvest from
travellers by the story that shark bit of
one of his legs while he was diving for
coin. The travellers would throw more
coin In the water and watch with bated
breath to see If another shark would at
tack him. The British authorities forbade
Inc boys 10 dive In the shark Infested wa
Ter about 10 years ago When his occupa-
lion was gone the diver confessed 10 a
traveller that his leg had been cut on by the
revolving propeller OF a steamer from
which ne was not able 70 &c. clear. Thus
what was long regarded as an authentic
case of manning by 8 shark lost its au-
thentlcity.
There Is on record, however. the case OF
a boy who was badly bitten By a shark IN
the harboF Of sydney, Australia. In 1895.
