A copy of the Sunday edition of the Pallas (Tex*,) Morning. .News lias reached us and in if we find ah inler- eating artiste regarding wheat;and cantaloupes. The article is illusirat- ed with a halftone of eight farmers wli,o raised 161,500 bushels '.of wheat this yeai\ The lowest yeild was 12, .000 uuuhela while the greatest is 41, 500 hushels, The crop of wheat for ■Wilbarger county is estimated at 2, 000,000 bushels, with a yeild as high as 35 bushels to the ncre after the land had been pnstured till late ni April.' Thb News states; “A few farmers planted the hard macaroni wheat that had been furnished by tlie •United States Government for expei - iinentai ion. The results were very , satisfactory; . J, A, Lutz harvester thirty-three and a half bushels to the acre from land that had been pas tured. A field that had not been pastured turned twenty-two bushels per aero. The indications are than this kind of wheat** will be piantec quite extensively this fall. Not many mills are equipped to grind tiard wheat, hut as the supply of the , cereal increases, it is assured, the fa- cilities . for using it will be provided. The mills at Pallas now grind the hard wheat. Harvesting in this country is accomplished both with self-binders and with beading ma chines, tlie latter being more expedi­ tious than the former. Corn is grow here in quantities suf ficient to spare some for export and some lor domestic shipment. The product'has been exported as far aB Russia. Oats is largely grown, the yield this year /mining as high as .seventy-five bushels to. .the acre Kffir corn, milo maize and sorghum are raised in abundance for hog feed. IlOg raising is becoming a prominent industry. Only the best breeds, such as Poland-Chinn and Berkshire,. arc raised. There is ho cholera. Fruits qf all kinds are .grown successfully in a limited way. Verpon ships 7,000 to 10,000 bides of-cotton annually. A cotton seed oil mill was erected last year. It is the only mill within a radius of 100 miles, and is further west than nuy oilier mill save tlfose at Abiline and Sweetwater. Cotton . does remark­ ably well iu this country. The lati­ tude is 1,300 feet above sea level, and neither boll weevil nor boll worm linvo shown up here. In these loose arennriods soils the crop is easily eul- tivnted. ' Some few patches of alfalfa; have have been planted and the success of the crop has been demonstrated. Many farmers are going in for the crop. But with all its long lists of crops and products, Wilbarger couhty’s mainstay is wheat* Vernon people can cite you to scores of men who came to this county poor aud who Save amassed a completence by grow* mg wheat and putting the profits into more land, There is B. L. Green. He caine to Fa.meraville, Tex,, from Hewbnrn, Tenu., twenty five years ago, aud to Wilbarger county ten years later. When he struck Texas with his wife and two children lie did not have enough money to buy aspan of mules. This year he harvested 41,- 000 bushels of wheat and several thousand bushels of oats from his farm of 2,323 acres in Wilbarger county, and afterwards sold the farm ’at a handsome price. lie lies a ranch of 30,000 acres in Castro county, upon which he has 3,000 head of high-grade cattle, to which he is now giving his attention. Mr, Green Carries'3110,000-of fife insur­ ance. an unusually large fine for a' farmer, In 1897 J E. Lutz. ofVernor had an exhibit of Wilbarger couuty pro­ duct at the Texas State Fair fir IJal* las, and that coiinty captured first prize on cotton, first prizes on It ird and soft wheat and second prize on oats, At that time It was a revela­ tion to many people that cotton was evert grown as far to the northwest as Wilbarger county.

The day is past when parents must have their boy or girl remain at home to assist with- the work. To -many the labor of the teacher is to teach the child how to best get its lessons.

I The proprietor of the “ flicker*, nest” on Main street in the Thomas Mitchell property has at last ventured too far and fallen into the Clutches of the law. The house is . known as j* ‘‘soft drink” place, and haB a reputa­ tion of being a pretty tough dive, The proprietor, Charles* Ensley, has been in the habit of going in his place of business on Sundays which is contrary to a village ordinance as' well as the Dow law. He had been Called • before the mayor some weeks ago and - warned .to run his business in accord­ ance with the provisions of the village., ordinance. Sunday morning he was seen to drop in his joipt and was spied in the act by Marshal Grindle, who immediately forced an entrance , and placed the proprietor under ar* rest. Monday morning Ensley ap­ peared before Mayor McFarland and ' was assessed a fine of $50 and costs -- for violating the Sunday closing ordi­ nance. The ordinance reads that vicr- ators are subject to a fine in any sum not less than ten dollars nor more than one hundred dollars or impris­ oned not less than five days or more than ten days or both. .While-the' line assessed by the mayor is one; that will not be forgotten it certainly would have been aboutproper to have made it $100 and costs and ten days from the fact that the prisioner is and has been engaged,in a business in definance of public .sentiment. It Ensley-was guilty at all be was guilty. ■ to the full'extent of the law and . should have been dealt with accord: * ingly. As a reward for almost a quarter century of honest tenantry, Martin Metz, a cigar dealer in Cincinnati will become an heir under an odd will made by a rich bachelor attorney, Fred J.

Another tenant who, for 17 years lived in a house owned by Aiders, will in the same way become owner of his residence. f The recent dry weather has made quite a difference on the water in the creek as it is very low at the present time.
