wheat Crop Report
The Clovis Mill & Elevator Cos
first report on this years wheat
crop was issued this morning. The
report comprises the showing OF the
first 1900 bushels to be handled by
the elevator, and the first of this
years crop that has been placed
upon the market.
According to the report the yield
is averaging 2lH bushels per acre,
with an average test of 90 pounds.
The wheat which so far has reach
ed the elevators is not the best in the
region. According to grain men the
best wheat in Curry county lies be-
tween IL and Is miles north and
northwest of Clovis, none of which
has yet been placed upon the mark
ct and but little of it has yet been
threshed.
Almost daily rains have greatly
checked threshingL In many locali-
ties no threshing has been done for
three or four days. Cutting, how
ever, is continuing as fast as it can
be accomplished--Clovis Journal.

Forcing Plants by Light.

To forge the growth OF plants by
the use OF artificial light is not a new
idea, but the system hitherto has been
too expensive in proportion to obtain
able results.
Recently man engaged in horticul-
ture discovered an tiIica cious method
of applying light for this purpose. Ar
ranging in winter quarters his plants
as he wished them to grow, he sup
plies lamp with mercury vaDor for
fuel and the seeds terminate in less
than half the ordinary time, while the
vigor and intensity Of the color Of tho
flowers is superior to that Of the prod
uct grown naturally.
Another curious phenomenon no
ticed in connection with this action of
light Is an infinite multiplication Of
the downy substance commonly found
on stems. Those grown in shadow
have the stems relatively bare. Very
good practical results have been OBJ
tanned by this system.
