The range is fine. and cattle and

there is fine prospects for entering

Up till Wednesday night Of this
week the crop prospects in this sec
ton had probably never been better,
and as n whole the situation is not
changed, but in a few instances, a
heavy hail struck portions Of the
farms in the east and northeast part
Of the county Wednesday evening,
and there was wrought some severe
damage. II is reports that come from
that part Of the county, that tells
of the havoc played by the severe
hail storm. Wheat crops that gave
promise Of a fine yield Wednesday
afternoon were totally destroyed that
evening. Cotton crops that we're rs
favorable as anyone could ask, have
been reduced 10 an apparent blank
place on the ground. However. ac-
cording 70 our best information, this
happened only to a few crops, and
as a general thing the rain was of
great benefit 10 the crops and the
range, and things look mighty good
for this section Of the country.
In passing through the Idalou. Lo-
rcnxo and Rails section Of the coun-
try last Sunday we were pleased 10
see a large acreage Of wheat in fine
condition and just getting to the
stage where harvesting would be in
order within ten days. an in fact IN
one field we noticed the crop had
already been cut and In the shock.
There is q heavy acreage Of wheat
in the east part Of Lubbock and west
part Of Crosby county. and unless
calamity befalls Il, 4 viii produce
fine yield.
The cotton crop. as stated above IS
ia fine condition. and we noticed that
the farmers have their crops unusu-
ally clean too. and the stand Is much
better than common. We heard
number Of farmers say that they be-
lieved that this year they would have
10 chop their cotton. which Is some !
thing that Is not usual thing in this
Cotton farmers allow their
cotton 10 grow thicker in this coun- I

such an i'll feeling toward Lubbock
Both towns are located on the great
South Plains Of Texas, where broad
mindedness is supposed to exist and
where the people are unit on boost
ing this splendid country. True there
is a certain amount of local rivalry,
and there is no harm in that, in fact
- a fellow does not boost his own
town he is a fit subject for the un-
dertaker, but when il comes to par
ticipating in proposition as broad
as the Panhandle Firemen's Associ-
alton, there should be no friction
whatever.
As we understand it, Lubbock viii
not compete for many Of the prizes
in this convention, except TO defend
their present trophies. and we are
sure that Plainview would have equal
ly as good a chance TO win from other
teams in Lubbock as anywhere else.
OF course in contest, Plainview
might not have a ghost of a show
against Lubbock-not because of any
unfairness, but merely because of the
fact that Lubbock's department is
better organized and possibly better
equipped for work and possess that
spirit Of victory that all Lubbock cit
izens have a goodly portion of.
AS stated above, we are sorry that
the Plainview boys take such a mar
row view Of the matter, but we win
endeavor TO carry on the Convention
without a representative from Plain
view, and we do not believe that the
Panhandle Convention will die from
The effects of refusal Of the Plain
view fremen to participate.

The above is a copy Of a letter
written TO chief Simpson, Of the Lub-
book Volunteer Fire Department by
the chief of Plainview Fire Depart
ment in response to an invitation to
attend the Panhandle Firemen's Con-
vention, which is to be held here on
the 23rd, 24th and 25th of August.
To US this seems to have carried
matters to the limit, and in man
ner, in behalf of our firemen and
Lubbock citizens in general, we re-
sent il, for the reason that this let
ter intimates that Lubbock Fire boys
are so narrow, so little and so pref
udiced against Plainview that they
would not give the Plainview boys
a fair deal.
We believe this is one of the small
est things that Flainview has ever
done and really we cannot believe
that il is the sentiment Of Plainview
people, in general, but rather the
narrow, prejudicial decision of some
of the fire department members. II
