A carpenter working on the roof
Of a derrick for Jackpot Number Si2;
called down to his mates:
'Fire in the hills, looks like. see

The contractor was an old-timer.
He knew the danger of fire in the
chaparral at this season of the year.
Crawford borrowed without per-
mission Of the owner the nearest
saddle horse and put it to a lope.
From the tower Hart descended
swiftly. He gathered together all
workers and equipped them with
shovels, picks, brush-hooks, saws,
and axes. To each one he gave also
a gunnysack.
The foot party followed Crawford
into the chaparral, making for the
bills that led to Bear Canon. A wind
was stirring, and as they topped a
rise it struai, hot on their cheeks, A
flake of ash fell on Bob's hand.
Crawford met them at the mouth
Of the canon.

The wind was sitter now and the
fury Of the fire closer. The flames
roared down the canon like blast

heat, the men retreated across the

inflanled. a pine, its pitchy trunk
ablaze crashed down across the fire

tree beyond. Instantly the foliage
leaped to red flame.
Bob galloped into the canon and
flung himself from the hrose.
"She's iunlpin' outa the gulcl

Crop Production for the Plains
Will Be Greater This Year Than
Every Before, Is General Belief

We realize that this time Of the
year is always a very favorable sea-
son for optimism so far as crop
prospects are concerned, and that
an article along that line would be
only a repetition OF what has al
ready been voiced by majority
Of our people, but having made a
trip through the finest farm lands
anywhere we are unable TO refrain
from a little comment or the "a
vorabIe conditions that surround our
farmers.
We went 10 Tahoka Tuesday with
Mr.. x. r. Slaughter, representative
Of the Wyllis- Overland people. who
closed a deal 20 have his ears sold
in that city by a local representa-
tive, and We were given an oppor-
tunity 20 observe the true condi
tons that surround our people, and
in our opinion the Plains country
has never received recognition as
an agricultural country in so great
a degree as il viii after the fall
harvests.
Crops Of all kinds are on their
way 70 maturity in hurry. The
rood season that IS in the ground,
plus sunshiny days, makes every
thing appear more wonderful than
the season has afforded hereto
fore. and the fact that livestock Of
all kinds are seen on the favms
indicating widespread interest in
poultry, hogs and dairy business II
looks as though this crop will be all

doubt wholly met with the profits

agency will certainly have some
pretty figures TO look over when
a report IL made on the production
Of the Plains land this year
We believe sincerely, that the
people Of the Plains have never had
the possibilities Of their lands clear

coming harvest as great revival
IN the agricultural business here.
We believe that widespread interest
will be created. That farming IN

CANDIDATES SPOKE AT
IDALOU TUESDAY MIGHT

An Avalanche representative was
fortunate enough to have accom-
panied a bunch of candidates and
politicians 70 Idalou Tuesday night,
where much speaking was done in
interest Of the county candidates,
the candidates for Governor, Sena-
tor, and State Superintendent of
Public Instruction. Some of the
most able speakers in this section
having spoken in interest Of the lat
ter.
We are still off the bunch like
everything. as in spite of the fact
that there were a houseful of can
didates assembled at a popular con-
fectionery at that place we had 20
pay for two ice cream cones and a
root beer. they thought we were not
old enough to vote, and that cam
paigning in our direction would be
money unnecessarily spent, but
nevertheless they are fine bunch
of scouts and we enjoyed the even
ing very much.
Prof. NJ. NJ. Dupre had the dis
tinction of making the shortest tlak
Of the evening, while J. X. Wester
maintained his reputation as stump
speaker from the old school. and
held the crowd longer than any other
speaker. He spoke in the interest
Of Cullen ~ Thomas for United
States Senator.
Judge Klett spoke in behalf of
Governor Pat NJ. Neff and was very
effective in his attempts 60 uphold
the administration Of the Governor.
There was not very large crowd
present, as the farmers are all busy
with their crops, and every minute
at this time certainly counts, but
those who were there were very at
tentive to all that was said. and
showed great interest in the COM
ing election.
More interest is made manifest
than the small crowd Indicated. and
we are sure that the people Of Lub-
book County viii take more enthus-
iastic interest on election day.

OF the coming harvest, and look
with favor upon the disposition
some Of our capitalists and bust
ness men are taking toward bring
ing about an era Of new methods
Of farming our lands. We believe
that one Of the greatest, most abb
surd and most expensive mistakes
that has ever been made by the
people as a whole has been made IN
the farming business on the Plains,
as there has been too much atten-
ton 10 quantity acreage and too
little attention given 70 quantity
yield per acre.
II there is a place anywhere that
one hundred and sixty acres can be
successfully farmed the lands ada
cent to Lubbock is that place and
the sooner our people turn loose
the large acreage farming idea, sell
off a large part OF their lands and
farm more Systematically on a few
acres, the better for all concerned.
We believe that one man can farm
one hundred acres without over
working his family or himself and
wasting the profits through haphaz-
ard treatment Of the products, and
that the remainder could be profit
ably used for pasture lands for his
work stock and dairy cattle. That
through closer attention TO his cows,
chickens and hogs, and more time
in which 20 study out the problems
that naturally bob up every day,
which smaller acreage would natur-
ally accord him, that he can pro-
duce more wealth within one year
than through the methods so much
In evidence now where one man
and his family have 20 work from
early till late caring for crop that
Is too big for them 20 properly nan
die. as a result Of which the smaller
things, the constant dividend pro-
ducing industries. are neglected in
the mad rush for quantity produc-
ton through quantity acreage.
Let's think this matter over,
friend farmers. and II there is a
possibility Of tightening the work
and increasing the profits derived
from those long tiresome days Of
labor, let's get into the matter and
figure Il out.
Tahoka and Lubbock are for
tunate 70 have been placed upon the
grounds so thoroughly surrounded
by lands OF unestimable producing
qualities. and the people OF the
towns as well as Of those who are
so conveniently and comfortably
located as 70 share the profits from
these fine farms. should take some
concerted action toward developing
our lands 10 the highest state OF cul-
tivation possible, and one man on
three times more land that Il is
humanity possible for him 70 cub
tivate will certainly not accomplish
that work.
While in Tahoka. We called on
Bob HAYNES of the Lynn County
News. who is busy man, and we
were glad 70 notice that his boost
ing articles about that little city
are we'll grounded. There Is a gi-
gantic building program launched
there. as result Of which Bob's
home town will soon be one Of the
incest little cities on the Plains. He
Is also Interested in the farming
industry and It's Improvement, and
contributes many inches Of space
