GOOD WHEAT YIELD
Carson County Farmers Make Fine
Yield of Wheat and
Oats.
The following clipped from the
Panhandle Herald adds another tes-
timonial to the thousand others that
the Plains are yearly piling up.
Carson county is some 30 miles east
frpm this county and-ia strictly on
tht Plains. The figures given here
will be an eye-opener'to many unin-
formed homeseekers.
Mr. Parker had 40 acres-bf oats
that yielded 27 bushels per acre ;
and got 260 bushels of wheat from
20 acres. G. F. Orrhad 15 acres
oí oats sown on sod that yielded
26 2-3 bushels per acre. Mr. Rart-
zel in the same neighborhood had
8 acres of wheat which went 26 1-4
bushels per acre, 80 acres that
yielded 1645 bushels and 50 acres
which made 16 bushels per acre.
He sold part of his crop and de-
posited a check in payment of it
. which called for $2,086.30. Mr.
Pierce had 23 acres of wheat
which yielded 23 1-3 bushels per
acre and 90 acres that averaged
17 1-2 bushels per acre ; 115 acres
' of oats that made 22 bushels per
acre and tested 36 pounds. Mr.
Apfel sold and delivered 700 bushel
of wheat.
All the wheat tested from 581
to 61^ lbs. per bushel and the ele-
vator is paying 95c per bushel for
wheat and 45c for oats. Does it
pay to farm in the Panhandle?
W. A. Slover.
The friends of W. A. Slover will
regret to learn of his sudden death
at his home at Dimmitt, Texas, on
Friday, September 14, 1908. He
had not been in good health for some
weeks, but nothing serious was an-
ticipated until Tuesday before his
death, when complications set up
and the physicians advised an oper-
ation for appendicitis. This was
performed on Wednesday 'morning
but the operation only disclosed a
condition that indicated that the end
was near. While everything was
done that human skill could command
to prolong his life, little hope was
held out after his real condition was
learned
The funeral services were con-
ducted the following day by the
Hereford Masonic Lodge and a large
number of the members of that order
were m attendance. Interment was
CADET HOSIERY
made in the Dimmitt cemetery.
Mr. Slover was a man that stood
high in the estimation of his friends.
As a soldier in the Confederate army
in which he served the full four years
of that struggle, he was admired for
his courage; as an officer of the law,
sheriff of Montague county, this
state, in which capacity he served .
for a number of years he had the !
support and endorsement of all good j
citizens; as a man and citizen of j
Parker county in which he was raised
he was held in high esteem. When
about grown he moved to Montague
and in 1900 he eajne to Castro county
where he has done his part in build-
ing up the >nterestsrof- the county.
No man had ought to say against W.
A. Slover. jHe *ás k^d to his fam-
ily and friends! ""He leaves a loving
wife and several sons and daughters
to mourn his demise.
