death. A tower ladder from d»
street and an etotaaion ladder from
the ruof gave the firemen a chance
to get the (nan down to safety.
The reported search of the Mid-
dle West for grass to lay its dust
and keep its farms “at home" is
j nearing an end. according to J.
Roy Quinby, superintendent of
the Chillioothe substation of the
Texas agricultural experiment sta-
tion, who has developed a ma-
chine for harvesting buffalo grass
seed.
No other grass can so success-
fully withstand both winter and
I drouth as buffalo grass but here-
tofore no method of harvesting
the seed had been devised. The
1 seed of this grass is produced in
1 the branches of the runnera and
therefore harvesting the seed has
been difficult in the past The
1 machine which Mr. Quinby has
perfected will gather approximate-
ly 80 pounds of seed an acre.
It is known that a single seed
lof buffalo grass can produce a
plant with a spread of several
feet in a normal year’s growth,
and buffalo grass Is recognized
by ranchmen and everyone to be
a very valuable grass for drouth
conditions. t;,

pared to the February total.

dropped from $1,036,653.44 in Feb-
ruary to $869,686.98 in March, a

ceived $12.64; in February, $14.46.
