there found Mrs. Dean dead and
Dean unconscious and suffering from
a gunshot wound in the left side.

This section has been badly hit by
the drouth, and row crops are scarce
and very poor. Many have not been
able to plant anything in the way of
feed until some two weeks since.
The plants are very small and prom-
ise very poor returns.
If it had not been for the small
wheat crop most of them would be
in serious straights. Wheat sow-
ing is in progress in many places
land there will be a large acreage
sown.
I would be glad to see more of the
farmers of Terry county sow wheat
this fall. A few tried it last year
and did quite as well as many on the
plains north of us. The tight lands
! here shoould be quite as well adapted
! to small grain as any other section
of the Plains. I have heard a few
signify their intention to sow if rain
came so that they could.
Meadow has had a few light show-
ers the past week but not enough to
improve crop conditions very much.
It is rather astonishing however to
see the crops hold out so well. Cotton
and feed both continue to grow ir
spite of dry weather.
I gave considerable attention t<
the crops along the route and can’t
see that Meadow is behind any of
the other section.

A number of sponge-growth oil
towns in the West Texas oil fields
have tried to style themselves as the
“Tulsa of Texas” but they will have
to beware of using the title now, be
cause West Texas now has a real
Tulsa. The city is located in the
Winkler County oil fields.
j The story in a few words is as fol-
'lows: Winkler, fast growing oil city
;of the new field, has been operating
under it name, “Winkler” for the
length of it’s existence. The citi-
