Kelso Doings
Plenty of rain. Lakes all full of
water. Maize and Kaffir corn fine,
and as fine millet as I ever saw grow
out of the ground.
Mr. Allie from Missouri has leased
a half-section from his cousin of the
same placs and is building a house,
barn, and making other improve-
ments. His family will join him in
March. Mr. Allie says he has come
to Texas to stay two years whether
he likes or not. So if he stays two
years he will forget all about Mis-
souri.
A. J. Hays of Milton, Iowa, is
having 80 acres broken on his half-
section four miles south of Kelso.
He will move here in the fall.
Messrs. Brown end Settle made a
business trip to Hereford this week.
We expect quite an immigration
to the Kelso country this fall as we
hear of quite a few that are arrang-
ing to come. We welcome one and
all.
The farmers are all preparing to
sow a large acreage to wheat.
Mr. Lee of Hereford was up this
week to look after his interests here,
also doing some work for the Home

We would be glad to have all
parties who own land in the Kelso

this year to write John Gregory and
if you want plowing done he will see
after it for you. We have no post-
office at Kelso. Our post office is
Hereford. Some have addressed
letters to Kelso and of course failed
to get them through.

ord none, consequently it will be ob-
served the negro teachers fared
badly in the examination The board
attributes such a large percenage of
failures to an effort on the part of
the applicants to cover too much
ground add a large number of apbli-
showed a weakness in management.
It is reccommended that the state
department of education prescribe a
text-book on methods and manage-
ment. The board also calls atten-
tion to the neglect of penmanship in
public schools. The organization of
larger normals is recommended.

Increase Wheat Acreage.
There will be a large increase in
wheat acreage for 1909. Some will
add one-half more, others will double,
while many new farms will be opened
up and put to wheat. The yield this
year has secured the utmost confi-
dence in the Hereford country as a
wheat producing country.
While this subject is open, The
Brand representative it reminded of
a remark made bv a recent visitor to
Hereford. His home is at Vernon,
a man of some years and well ac-
quainted with Texas and the wheat
belts of the United States, he said :
"Taking a strip of country from
Beaver county, Oklahoma to the
Texas & Pacific railroad on the south
and in width all the Panhandle and
40 miles into New Mexico, consti-
tutes the greatest and surest wheat
belt in America. The yield and
aualitv excell the fields of Nebraska
and Canada. I expect to see Here-
ford producing a thousand cars in
five years."
