Six Foot Rye Grown
In Clovis District;
3 Tons Hay to Acre

Clovis, N. NJ, July 8.-John b.
Yeakley Of McAlister recently brought
to Clovis a sheaf Of rye that measured
six and one-half feet long and most OF
the heads were over seven inches In
length. Mr.. Yeakley says he has about
40 acres OF this rye which is the best
crop he has ever seer in the state.
While comparatively little rye has
been grown in New Mexico it is ex-
pected it will become one Of the prin-
cipal crops as it not only yields many
bushels to the acre but may also be
cut as hay and is one OF the surest
crops that can be planted. Mr.. Yeak-
ley has cut as many as three tons OF
rye hay per acre during the last two
years.

!. D. Ferguson were at the Baptist
church n evening last week their
house caught tire and was complete
ly destroyed. The flremen made a
quick run to the fire but as they la |
been repairing some Of the mains
during the day there was no water
with which to fight the fire and the
house was burned 10 the ground with
the building and all the contents a
complete loss. Rev. Mr.. Ferguson
thinks the house must have been set
on fire as they had had no fire in
the stove since dinner time. The citi-
ZEN Of the town made up a purse to
partly repay the damage.
