Back TO the Land.

The movement back to the farm
struck Jerry Downing this week and
when his friends get to see him at all
now they hardly recognize the horny
handed son of toll as the genial Jawn
ID. of past years. He says he finds
competition quite lively in the oil in
dustry now, but since the thermometer
struck one hundred not one single
sucker has shown up to try to get his
job in the hay field. He would like
to see more diversified competition
in fact he is willing to quit.

Alfalfa Mills Late in Starting

The big string of alfalfa mills in
Prowers county are getting late start
this season. The long dry spell in the
spring and continued cold weather
caused the first crop OF alfalfa to be
both late and short A few of the
mills are running but owing to the
quality of the hay the price is not
very high and the crop is moving slow
ly. The season will not assume its
usual summer activity until the second
crop comes on the market in few

Get Complete Family Record.

Sugar records now being kept In
grocery stores are causing some per
turbation on the part Of grocery men,
Since the food administration linn
tied the amount of sugar a family
can use per month, the grocers have
had to keep track of the amount sold
to each customer.
For this purpose they S a sort OF
book. or ledger, IN which the GUS
toner's name and address. and other
information pertaining thereto. are
recorded.
Since most Of the purchasers are
women. 1t a be imagined that the
grocers' task. sometimes, Is not SO
easy. but the women. realizing that
the information must be given. have
gracefully accorded It.
Nor Is that all.
Grocers do tell that they get more
information than they have any need
for. Here's how II is:
