THOUSANDS OF BUSHELS OF
WHEAT BEING FED TO STOCK

Clovis, N. M, Sept. 18.-The first
reaction as result of the regulation
Of the price of wheat is being felt in
this county where NJ present thoas-
ands of bushels Of grain is being fed
to stock in preference to hauling it
to market and shipping points. The
situation confronting the farmer is
that it costs him on an average of fif-
teen cents per bushel to haul his wheat
to the shipping point, and since No. 2
wheat is bringing only $2.l7 on that
J market the result it that high grade
:: wheat is being fed to stock, thereby
creating new problem for the solu-
, tion of the board of control
Charles f. Dennis, in commenting
upon the situation as il is presented
in this county, finds that "many farm
ers are going to plant less wheat this
year than last, especially those living
some distance from the railroad" II
is too bad that wheat testing 81 to 62
pounds should be utilized in this man
ner, yet the situation is one of plain
conclusion in the hands of the farmer
who has figured it to matter Of dol
lars and cents. The market is demor-
allied and the farmer is dissatisfied.
There is no question:" continued Mr..
Dennis, "but the board of control
meant well in its regulation but the
plan is not working out to the salts
faction Of the wheat raising sections
OF the country. Wheat of high grade
that should be used for seeding, in this
as well as other communities is being
used for stock feeding. Many from
nearby Texas points are coming into
this county and are buying wheat for
feeding purposes and it will not be.
long until lack Of even seed wheat
will materialize."
This is a most confusing problem
and one that should elicit solution
as soon as possible, Seed wheat of
the grade produced in this county is
badly needed in great many locali-
ties, and to have such grain utilized as
feed stuff means loss that is almost
irreparable.

THE PANHANDLE FAIR

The Panhandle State Fair, which
opens at Amarillo, Texas, on the 9Th
of October, and funs for six days, clos.
ing on Saturday. the 18th, viii be by
far the most pretentious fair and show
ever held in this section of the coun.
try. Not only that, but it will be q
fair that would do credit to any state
in exhibits, races, free attractions and
amusements, and all other features.
j. l.. Van Malta, secretary, announc-
es that they have over 90 entries in the
harness races, some races having as
many as 1S starters, II is with great
deal of satisfaction that this announc-
ment is made, since 1t has always been
very difficult to get race men to come
to Amarillo on account of it being so
far away from all other meetings in
the circuits. This race program will
far exceed anything that has ever been
seen in Amarillo or in the Panhandle,
as this is three or four times as many
horses as have ever been entered in q
program at the Panhandle State Fair.
Some of these horses are the very best
in their class, and the lovers Of har-
ness races are sure to be more than
entertained. In connection with the
racing program, there will be slow
mule races staged on Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with
a purse of S35 each day. The slowest
mule or the one finishing last wins all
the money. No entrance fee is charg-
ed and no money deducted from the
winner, which fact will insure enough
entries to make these races very en-
tertaining and amusing.
The cattle show has always been one
Of the main features of this Fair, and
this year will be no exception, as it
will be third larger than ever before.
There are over 800 pure bred Here
fords entered up to date, these entries
being comprised from herds from Ken
lucky, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma,
Mississippi, Indiana, Wyoming, New
Mexico and Texas. There is also a
goodly number of other breeds already
entered.
1t is the ardent hope of the manage
ment that all the people of the Pan
handle and, in fact, the entire country
may realize that this Fair will be an
educator as well as a pleasure to all
those who are fortunate enough to at
tend. 1t Is u Panhandle institution,
and certainly worthy one and de-
serves the earnest support of all the
Panhandle. Mr.. J. l.. Van Natta, Sec
retary and General Manager, has gone
on record as stating that he guaran-
tees that no visitor will attend the
Fair and go away disappointed.

.PALM|LLA FIBRE CO.
Of TUCUMCARI IS N
OPERATION At LAST

At last Tucumcari has realized her
dreams. Ever since the destruction
by fire Of the fiber factory two years
or more ago, the citizens and especial
ly the merchants have wanted another
factory. This week the new fiber fac
tory opened backed by the merchants
and the citizenship.
Wednesday night the directors call
ed an open meeting and invited their
friends to the plant to watch the ne, =,
machines make fiber out of the once
worthless weed, more commonly call
ed "beargrass."
This paper has often said that Mr..
Haas patent was proving great sue
cess, and so it is. The machinery was
set in motion Wednesday and will he
kept busy every day now until the
market is supplied. OF course the first
shipments will be small and sent more
to get the price set for the finished
product. Then the local company can
adjust the price to pay for the green
blades direct from the farmers.
Mr.. Haas has patented a knife for
use in harvesting bear grass and it is
essential to secure one of these in
order to cut the blades as long as pos
sible. The price paid the farmer will
no doubt be made according TO the
condition and length of the grass, as
the cordage companies will buy the
fiber according to its length and quail
ity.
The dictatorship is composed of Tu-
cumcari most influential business men
and when this first unit of machinery
has proven its worth this company
will build larger factory and install
more machinery making it one of the
big industries of the state.

Dramatic Revolt OF korniloff
Against Russian Govern
ment CoIlapses.
KERENSkY AGAIN IS VICTOR
Sweden Makes Feeble Reply to Ian
sings Disclosures OF Unneutrai
Action and He Exposes Conduct
Of Its Former Charge In Mexico.
BY EDWARD W. PIckARD.

Another Of the swift dramatic epi-
sodcs with which Russia has been star
tllng the world was unfolded last
week. For several days II seemed that
civil war would he added to the woes
of the struggling young republic, and
then. ms suddenly ms II appeared, the
storm cloud dissolved and the prOvi-
sional government emerged apparently
stronger than before.
General korniloif. commander In
chief, demanded full power was
promptly removed by Premier Keren-
sky, and marched on PetrOgrad with
II considerable body Of troops. Several
officers having refused the position,
Kerensky himself took the chief com.
mand, the capital was put In a condi"
ton OF defense. and loyal troops were
sent out to cut off Korniloff from the
northern fighting line, which Is now
considerably east Of Riga. The Baltic
feet, the army In general and most
OF the officials hastened to assure the
provisional government Of their sup.
port.
Then came Korniloff's collapse. The
main part of his army consisted Of
the sO-called Savage division" fierce
Mohammedan troops from the Cauca-
sus and Georgia, who were uninformed
Of their destination or Kornilof's aim.
Loyal coreligiOnists induced them 10
submit to the government on condition
that they be sent back to the Caucasus
and not be compelled to fight against
the Turks. Korniloff thereupon In
ready to surrender.
Cause OF the Revolt.
The conflict really was between the
conservatives and the more radical ele-
ments In Russia. The former hold that
the government has shown itself In
capable of restoring order and effec'
tiveness because II Is hauled this way
and that by the wOrkrnen's and sol.
diers' committees and has. allowed
them to destroy discipline In the army,
Kerensky himself holds the confidence
and trust OF all, but he Is far from
being the dictator that he has been
represented as being. and has been tod
tenutr HtuTtcu to curry OUT MS own
bold words as To restoration Of the
death penalty and other necessary re-
pressive measures.
This latest revolt, however. has
hardened the premier, He caused OF
ordered the arrest Of all the leaders
and generals opposed to the provisional
government suppressed the Novoe
,vremya and other newspapers that IN
vored Korniloff, freed imprisoned Bol
shevikis who promised to combat the
rebels, declared state of war IN
Moscow and Its environs, and fatty re
fused to enter into negotiations q
bring about IA compromise between the
provisional government and Its oppo
nsnts.
On Thursday the Russian cabinet
was reconstructed with the Socla
Democrats In full control, and at tn,
same time the northern army got Int,
iAstien and moved back toward Riga

The Nortn Fork Co Operative
Creamery was started in Hotchkiss
two and one half years ago. and has
been a prounced success froin the
beginning. Cream from about 400
cows was obtained at first since which
time several cars OF dairy cows have
been brought in. and the farmers
have been selling off those that are
not profitable. The Creamery is for
tunate in having one of the very best
butter makers in the state. and have
n fine trade on the western slope. eX-
tending as far south as Durango. in
cluding the mining towns. they also
have dealers in Denver. Colorado
Springs. Leadville and other large
places that say that they prefer the
s'Needie Rock butter to any other.
The farmers are paid in cash for
their cream once each month, thus
distributing several thousand dollars
among them. which allows them to
pay cash for their merchandise. The
Creamery is quite an asset for Delta
