ment Station during the past nine
years. In general the bearded
varieties have made better yields
than the smooth. There are some
smooth wheats which produce ex-
cellent yields, yet one year with
another the bearded sorts are
more dependable than the smooth.
1t appears from the experiments
conducted at the Station that the
bearded varieties yield better on
poor soil and under unfavorable
conditions of seeding. A compar-
ison of the average yield of twenty
soomth with twenty bearded shows
difference of 5 bushels per acre
in the favor of the bearded. Of
the ten highest yielding varieties
during the past eight years eight
have been bearded. The ten low
est yielding varieties were smooth,
Of the bearded varieties the fol-
lowing are recommended: Gypsy,
Red Wonder, Miracle, Rudy, Le-
high and Mediterranean. Of the
smooth varieties: Leaps Prolific,
Currell's Prolific and Poole.
During the past four years the
varieties Miracle and Leaps Pro-
life have been among the most
promising the Station has tried.
The Leaps Prolific is a smooth
wheat with long stiff straw, with
firm hard berry. 1t has yielded
as we'll as any of our bearded va
rieties. This variety seems to be
especially adapted to the lighter
soils of the State.
Doubtless many Delaware farm
ers are growing wheat of inferior
or poorly adapted varieties, or
some of the better varieties that
are badly mixed and thru careless

Mr.. Duncan. a Scotchman by
birTn, but an American since he
was a lad in knickers, is one of the
finest athletes in the world. He
is five feet and ten inches tall,
weighs 200 pounds and is as
sturdy as a steel safe. After win
ming athletic honors at school, Mr..
Duncan became an instructor in
the famous McFadden's Physical
Culture School and later conduct
ed a school of his own. His pro-
digious strength and wrestling
ability brought him to the atten-
ton of Sandow the Great, known

world" and he prevailed upon
Duncan to abondon physical cul-
ture and go on the vaudeville stage

Killing In Southern
Grant County

Extreme southern Grant coun-
ty has been the scene Of another
murder, making the fourth in
that part Of the southwest with
in a little over a years time.
Although particulars are lacking
word has been received in Lords
burg of the killing Of Chester
Bartell of Cloverdale, N. M. the
last Of the week by one Of the
Hunt brothers, adjoining ranch
ers to Bartell. Just which one
of the Hunts did the killing has
not been definitely learned al
though reports from Cloverdale
are to the effect that Sam or Jack
Hunt have surrendered to Grant
county officers. 1t is reported
from the district that the Hunts
claim Bartell had been following
them and had fired upon them
several times and a plea of self
defense will likely be entered.
Chester Bartcll came TO the
Animas valley on July 9th of this
year taking up a homestead in
the National Forest in CloverdaIe
canyon. He was a man aged "a
bout 35 years and was married.
An inquest was held over the
body at Cloverdale and the re-
mains Inferred on Sunday. One
report from a resident of the
valley states that the wan was
shot eleven times.
The Hunt brothers are well

section coming there from east

Atwood And ValedOn
Mines Are Sold

Although details of the tran
saction are lacking owing to the
final signing of papers transferr-
ing the property, it is reported
on good authority in mining
circles here this week that the
famous Atwood mine and the
property of the Valedon Mining
Company, which includes the
Southern Group of claims, will
be in operation before many
weeks. The deal has practically
been completed and the owners
of the various properties are con
fident that the transfer will mean
the resumption of operations up
on a large scale at both the At
wood shaft and the Southern
mine.
The Atwood mine is owned by
Attorney A. w. Morningstar, j.
l.. Augustine and associates and
the Valedon- Mining Company
property owned by these same
men together with A. j. Inderr-
ieden and w. F. Ritter.
Messrs Berger and Russell of
Globe, Arizona, have been in
the field going over these prop
critics and it is understood they
will complete the transaction.
With the pending erection Of a
concentration plant at the So
mine and the statement that
custom ores would be accepted
for treatment it is likely that a
number of sales, similar to this
one will be completed as there is
much mineralized ground in the
local district that could be opera
