Clovis Has Nearly 5
Inches Of Rain in 2
DAYS; Fine For Crops

Clovis N. M Sept. 23s-For forty
eight hours a slow drizzle enyeloped
this entire region last week, the rain
fail reaching 4.76 inches in 48 hours.
This heavy precipitation at this
time Of the year is very advantageous
to wheat planting, and it practically
assures splendid conditions for wheat
sowing.
Favorable ground conditions will
encourage a great wheat acreage for
the coming year. 1t Is estimated that
the acreage in Curry county will be
increased not less than twenty per
cent over last years planting. Many
Of the best wheat farmers of the coun-
ty have already planted as high as
200 acres. and some OF the new plant
ing is up. 10 this the heavy rains have
meant much.

possible margin for mistake in the
theories of the state and the entire
likelihood that Tellos, under the cir

probably fake the whole story whica
