DALHART PLANTING-
ITS WINTER WHEAT
Steam Plowing Employed
Fot Breaking Gxound
Por Seeding
Dalhart Texas Aug. 29. Not since
the Influx of settlers into the Pan-.
handle in 1901 has there been such
widespread activity and interest shown
among farmers in the winter wheat
seeding as is now manifest.
Benefited by many recent general
rains the territory as a whole is in
good condition. Farmers are securing
much seed mostly of the turkey red
variety and are seeding thousands of
acres. There has been no August Nn
the period mentioned -when conditions
were as favorable as the present one.
With the reasonable low price of land
new settlers are coming In while the
older ones are adding to their hold-
ings and putting in as large acreages
of wheat as possible.
September and October are the usual
months employed in this locality for
lall seeding furnishing anr all winter
grazing that is valuable for dairy and
stock interests.
There are several steam seeding
companies employed here turning
grndbver; Engines plows "harrows
and seeders attached by cables com-
plete the evolution once over the
guodn. 25 to 30 acres per daycare thus
converted from sod to a seed bed.
Pifteen to 25 bushels per acre is the
usual rectum from deep steam plowing
the first season. Prices lor -wheat in
this territory have ranged from 85
cents to $1 for the highest grade all
converted into foodstuff and consumed
In i this territory.
MONEY IS EASY AND
CROPS ARE NOT HEAVY
Washington I. C Aug. 29. For the
first time in many seasons the federal
treasury is making no preparations to
meet the autumnal demands for .money
for -moving crops. Neither do treas-
ury officials expect the the usual crop
-moving season demand for bills of
small denomination.
Prospects for medium sized crops
easy money and the strong cash posi-
tion of nearly all the" country banks
are the reasons ascribed for this condition.

Splendid Season Has Been
Enjoyed in Pecos Valley.
1200 Bales of Cotton:
Carlsbad N. M. Aug. 29. The pres-
ent season promises to be a banner
year for the fruit and cotton growers
of the lower1 valley. The -shipment of
peaches consisting largely of the El-
berta variety supplemented with sev-
eral of the earthy maturing varieties
has far exceeded that of previous years
and has brought into the coffers of
the local growers between $15000 and
$20000 with a goodly portion of the
later peaches yet to be marketed.
The alfalfa hay crop has been very
good considering the large amount of
rainfall and already in the neighbor-
hood of 150 cars have been shipped out
of this section of the valley besides
supplying the local market which is
a remarkably gotfd one on account of
the great number of livestock grown
here. The alfalfa seed crop has greatly
reduced the hay crop but with several
thrashing machines' working overtime
there yet remains hundreds of tons
of seed to be .thrashed.
The pears plums and grapes are now
just coming in and reports from the
growers indicate "that there will be an
abundance of this fruit.
The cotton is doiner nicely and in
almost every iristance a heavy yield
is expected. It is estimated that there
will be about 1200 bales ginned here
this season.
With these conditions existing -and
the range and pastures covered with a
wealth of grass which insures an
abundance of winter pasture for the
cattle horses sheep and goats which
are raised in Eddy county the pros-
pects for a successful and prosperous
year ar"$ most flattering all of which
means prosperity for the merchants as
well as everybody in general.

WOEE GOOD CLOTHES
AlOD GOT ARRESTED
Police Sergeant Thought
Man Too Well Dressed
to Sell Vegetables
C. A. King- a valley resident has
filed charges with the police commis-
sion that he was arrested because a po-
lice sergeant thought his clothes were
too good for sL man selling- vegetables.
His complaint says:
"I own a ranch about nine miles
south of El Paso on the county road
and have lived in El Paso and near EI
Paso for several years and am well ac-
quainted in the city and country adja-
cent to ElPaso. On Friday morning-
August 25 I drove to the market place
in El Paso with a load of roasting ears
raised on my land and while there at
about 7 oclock a. m. I was arrested
by a police sergeant of. El Paso and
taken to the police station like an or-
dinary criminal or culprit In about 10
minutes I was released. The officer
afterwards explained that there had
been somo Dicknockpts arnnm) --.
and that he thought I had on too good
ciocnes jo oe selling; stuff from a wa-
gon and for that reason had me ar-
rested until he could find out who I
was.
"He arrested me first and investi-
gated me afterwards. As a law abiding
citizen I rejoice at the officers of the
law showing proper zeal and industrv
in apprehending criminals but I most
vigorously protest against the conduct
of this officer in placing me in the
custody of the law'and heaping Indig-
nities of this kind upon me. The facts
did not justify such precipitate action
and there was nothing to have kept the
officer from first investigating me.
"I therefore file this charge against
the officer charging him with arrest-
ing me wrongfully and without cause
and' without acting with proper judg-
ment and consideration in the matter
all of which I stand ready to prove by
bystanders upon being called upon for
proof."

not gladly be free from this recurring period of pain.
