Talking with Walt Barker of Sar-

forms US that while he has only receiv-

low as 20 cents net per crate to Sl.75.
IL averages for him Si.05 so far, and
if that holds thru the other shipments,
not yet reported he expects over $500
an acre from five acres of lettuce, and
of course, that is good enough for any
body. Mr.. Barker is enthusiastic
over head lettuce and intends to enter
the game again next year. He got
best returns from seed planted early
in June, and found that this season
seed planted in May or late June and
July did not show up well.

The python. twenty feet in length

and Mr. Rainey was much pleased.
The next day We took the entire pack
and went to a hill to the west of US.
Two large male lions came down the
hill near Mr.. Rainey, but as he wanted
to try the dogs he did not shoot az
them. One lion was SO exceedingly
large and heavy that he could not travel
fast and soon came down to a trot. When
about two miles from the hill, he lay
down facing the hunters. swinging his
tail from side to side, and loudly growl-
Ing. He had decided that rather than
run farther he would fight it out. but
Black saw to It that all remained at a
safe distance.
In the meantime a boy brought me
word to bring on the dogs. ! had most
Of them coupled together and they
trotted along leisurely behind me. Two
or three times large herds Of impalla
crossed just in front Of me, but none
Of the dogs paid any attention.
Presently I saw Black. Mr.. Rainey
and DR.. Johnson about half mile
ahead of me. They were sitting on
their saddles, their horses standing mo-
tionless, SO I rode towards them.
y X !; x
NOW the mistake in Blacks calcu
~ lation was that they had taken
their stand across the other side of the
trail the lions had made in crossing
and in going to them 1t was necessary
for me to cross the lions tracks.
What Black should have done was to
have worked around. SO that l could
come to the hunters without striking
the lions trail.
AS I passed where the lions had
crossed. Ben and Buck, dogs that had
been in the hunt the day before, recog-
nized the scent and began to open. The
others got the scent also and all of them
wanted to run it.
OF course. at the time I was not
aware Of what had happened and at
once began trying to keep the dogs
quiet. I was not sure but that they had
decided to run the last herd Of irnpalla
that had crossed about this place.
The dogs. however. were deter
mined 10 run the trail and some of them
succeeded in passing me. This caused
me to run my horse to cut them of.
All three Of the hunters franticaliy
shouted and waved to me, but though,
they were telling me not to let the dogs
get away after the impalla, so I rode
and whipped the harder.
Little did I think that I was rapidly
approaching huge lion. lying under a
bush only few yards from me. Some
times would almost succeed in getting
the dogs stopped when some Of them
would break past me again.
Presently DR.. Johnson rode up to
where he could make himself heard
and told me it was lion the dogs were
trying to run and that he lay under q
