Wheat Sent From Hereford to
Mill Highly Satisfactory.
Mr. and Mrs. S. N. Garvin were
in on business Tuesday from their
ranch west from Hereford. During
their stay the former paid this office
a visit and stated that he had re-
ceived a letter from his son, M. L.
Garvin, an employe of the Century
Milling Company of Dallas, to
which company Hereford's first car
of wheat was shipped (mention of
which was made in a previous issue
of The Brand) . Mr. Garvin stated
in his letter that the Deaf Smith
county wheat had been ground into
flour and that it was the best high-
grade flour ever turned out of the
mill and that the manager was so
well pleased with our wheat as to
say that he would buy every bushel
raised here and pay a good price
for it.
This tribute to Deaf Smith county
wheat on the part of the Century
Milling Company speaks volumes
for the quality of our wheat and
should be the means of inducing
every stock farmer in this section of
the Panhandle to plant a large
acreage to this product. It is said
that on account of the comparative
absence of weeds, which take
strength from the wheat, wheat
matures better and weighs much
more to the bushel than does that
raised in less favored localities.
Our lime sub-soil is also especially
adapted to wheat raising.
Messrs. Higgins & Rice, who
shipped the above mentioned wheat
and which was raised by J. N.
Askren, were seen by The Brand
reporter and asked if they had heard
from the company in regard to the
flour making properties of the wheat
shipped by them. They had re-
ceived no statement concerning the
matter, but upon being given the
above information they at once wrote
the company at Dallas asking that
full information be given them on
the subject. Their answer will be
published in next week's issue of
The Brand and if the same is in
accordance with the above statement
our people who have planted large
acreages of wheat this fall, will
surely have cause to be jubilant.
A BRIGHT OUTLOOK
For Add-Ran College and Industrial
School at Hereford, Texas.
With Randolph and Addison
Clark, two of the greatest J edu-
cators of the southwest, at the
head of the institution,and locat-
ed in the healthful and prosper-
ous plains country with the moral
and refining influences of Here-
ford, it is certain to be a great
success. Session opens in the
magnificent new 9tone building,
Sept. 15tb, 1903.
STEAM PLOWING.
Walter Fewell, With Traction En-
gine and Moline Rotary Disc
Plow, Doing Good Work.
Monday evening a Brand repre-
sentative accepted an invitation from
E. E. Cooper, the introducer and
demonstrator of the Moline Rotary
Disc Plow, of which the Stringfellow-
Hume Hardware Company are the
local agents, to drive to the Judge
Jno. E. Ferguson ranch, there to
witness a demonstration of this
farming implement as a breaker of
the virgin soil of the plains.
Arriving at the ranch, which is
situated about two miles east from
town, we found Mr. Fewell busy
turning the sod with two of the
above named plows, hauled by his
traction engine, the plows receiving
no attention whatever from the oper-
ators, but which tears the sod from
the ground and lays it over, roots
upward, as nicely as could be asked
for, breaking eight feet of land at a
time or sixteen feet to the round, at
any depth desired up to ten inches.
Mr. Fewell says that with this
arrangement he can break from six-
teen to eighteen acres of new land
in a day of ten hours, which amount
could be greatly increased on land
in a state of cultivation.
As this section is rapidly de-
veloping into a wheat and agricul-
tural country there will be a large
area of land to be plowed and put
into a state of cultivation. With
the Moline disc plows and a traction
steam engine Mr. Fewell is fully
prepared to do this sort of work on
short notice and The Brand con-
gratulates him on his progressive
foresight.

m WHILE YOU WAIT m
With this machine we guarantee that we will not over-dish any wheel,
no matter how small it may be. Tires set by it will run three or four
times as long as by the old way. Don't be deceived by the man who tells
J'ou the old way is as good as any. Come and see the work of the machine
or yourself. More wheels are ruined by over-dUhing than any other
cause. We guarantee every wheel put upon the machine to be set just
right. Only twenty to thirty minutes required to set all four of your
wheels, therefore you can afford to wait for your work, which will be aone
in the most perfect manner.
I Pipe Perforating and Wrapping
We have two machines for perforating pipe for sand wells and
can do this work on short notice. We also have special facilities
for wrapping same with wire, therefore insuring pure water from
sandy wells. Remember that our guarantee goes with every
piece of work turned out of our shop.
