Curry County, with a record break

in for increased production next
year, according to reports coming il
from all parts of the county. 1t has
been estimated that nearly four mil
lion bushels of grain OF all kinds
were produced in the county during

the tillable land OF the county i,

munity, turning sod Conservative
estimates place the number Of tract
ors in the county at more than $50

to 25 per cent more land will be
under cultivation in 1921 than in any
previous year.
With plenty of moisture already
in the ground, and conditions ideal
for another crop year, the grain pro-
duction over the county for next
