heighth four days in a row, then it's something one should try to forget.
 That was the first all-time record to drop gasping by the wayside. Four con secutive century days is something un- rivaled in the weather history of Bir- mingham, stated Weatherman Horton Sunday night. Records of the Fountain Heights bureau date back to its for nation in 1896, but survey of all previous hot weather marks failed to uncover any account for four conse- cutive days when the temperature reached 100.
 Sets August Record
 The second record to fall was the reaching of 103 Sunday afternoon. In no previous August has that tempera- ture been reached, was the report from the weather bureau.
 In fact, such a temperature equals the all-time record for Birmingham. Once before, on July 12, 1901, this mark was reached, and has stood admant against all assaults until Sun

COFFEE CREEK FARMER GETS
YIELD OF "a BUSHELS TO ACRE

The question as to what farmer
would cur the greatest average
yield of winter wheat from a large
field in Fergus county this season
appears to have been answered, with
the honor going to Henry Creekmore,
of the Coffee Greek country, who
threshed out Ga bushels to the acre
on a field of more than 100 acres.
The field was summer fallowed and
has attracted attention for a consider
able time, promising to yield heavily.
Mr.. Creekmore is rated as one Of
the best farmers in the country, al
ways getting a good yield when condi-
tons are favorable, but this year he
topped his own record.

T HE matter of feeding ducks is
very simple is they are not so
susceptible to digestive troub-
les as are chickens and young tur-
keys.
The feed for baby ducklings should
consist first of a little sand or fine
gravel. Then use a little of most
any of the good chick mashes that
are on the market, mixing a little
sand with it. They should also have
plenty of ground green feeds. Many
people think it necessary to have a
pond of water in which the ducks can
swim, but it is not at all necessary.
They should always have access
to a drinking fount or pan that is
deep enough that they can get their
heads under the water as in this man
ner they keep their nostrils cleaned
out. If they cannot do this they are
apt to become clogged, causing eye
and head troubles. On some of the
large duck farms where the ducks
do not have access to a pond or
stream, they hang lanterns near the
drinking pans so that the ducks can
go to them at night and thus keep
heir nostrils cleaned out.
They should be ready for fatten-
ng when IL weeks of age. On Long
STAND are possibly found the largest
luck farms and their fattening ra-
lions have become quite famous.

more a week of conventions, a week
when the farmers and stockmen,
and the farm women can thresh
out their problems. And, in addition
to the various group conventions.
numerous general meetings are ar
ranged, where the various groups
can get together to consider the prob

listen to eminent authorities brought
to the convention for the purpose of
discussing these problems. Nor is
the entertainment side forgotten for
through the week, banquets of var

We are pleased to report that since last
Saturday there has been a decidedly diff
ferent tone in the trade here in the yards
we would call prices anywhere from 25C
to 50c higher than they were during the
first part of last week on steers, with
females steady to a quarter higher. Our
receipts are very light for this time of
the year, with prospects of only a fair run
We are not getting any grain fed stuff at
this time, and the top sales on choice
butcher steers is around $7.50 per cwt., and
only small punches have brought this
price, with odd head up to $500, and the
bulk Of good grass killers going from $3.50
to $7.OO, with the in-between kinds from
$500 to $3.50. Heifers, in order to bring
$3.50, must be exceptionally good, with
real good grass cows from "a to $3.50.

possible to develop cattle that will
reach marketable condition at an
earlier age than at present? Can
the wool clip be economically increas-

velop a feeder hog industry in Mon

tions that it is hoped to answer from
