Meade County Wheat

Some wheat is being mark
eted here this week, and from
the elevators we get the in
formation that it is testing from
50 10 90 pounds and that ihe
quality is good.
The Co-operative people are
cleaning all that tests well and
will be in position 10 furnish
many Meade County farmers
with home grown seed.
The Artesian Valley Milling
CO., report that much of what
they have bought has been
good seed wheat.
Ii seems that this is a good
report on this years crop, con-
sidering the season, and where
homegrown seed can be pur-
chased ii would perhaps be
more adapted to This climate
than that shipped in from other
localities.
Many of the, farmers are
holding their own seed wheat.
The price being paid ranges
from $500 to $2.05 per bushel,
depending on the quality of the
wheat.
Notwithstanding the crop
failure this year, a large acre
age will be sown again this fall,
and making calculations from
past years, a good crop is due
next year.

The Winnfeld Qouisiana)
Times of August % contains
the following:
A telegram from the War De-
partment TO Mr.. j. b.. Flick
states that his son, Lieut.. Ever
eli S. Flick, has been severely
wounded in battle on August
1St. The sad news cast a gloom
over the entire town, as Ever
EFT was a favorite with its en-
tire population.
He attended Tulane. Univer-
sity for three years and gradu-
ated in law. He located in
Winnfielda andwas just entering
upon what looked to be a long
and successful professional life
when our country entered the
world war. Without mo-
ment's hesitation he closed, his
office and entered the first OF
ficers' training school at Camp
Pike at the close of which he
was commissioned a second
lieutenant.
Early this year he went to
France and was with the Amer
ican forces on the firing line
when the great counter often
sive of the Allies began in June
So well did he perform he was
promoted to first lieutenant
and was promised still further
promotion.
Lieut.. Flick is a nephew of F.
w. Flick of this city, and his.
father, J. B. Flick, visited here
several years ago.
