Notwithstanding the ex-
treme dry weather this fall,
there has been a vast amount
of small grain sown in this sec-
tion, and the work has 011 lv
been commenced, so to speak,
as we learn that many farmeis
and ranchmen are still putting
ground in shape for sowing,
and many who had abandoned
the idea of planting until the
recent rain, have now conclud-
ed to sow wheat, rye and oats.
It is predicted that the acreage
of small grain in this section
will be greater this fall than
ever before. We interviewed
some of our people this week,
and give their statements be-
low:
C. P. Smalley has one hun-
dred acres of ground in as nice
shape as a garden, and will
sow it in wheat.
Mart Can tie Id will have forty
acres in wheat and forty acres
in oats.
W. M. Broyles is putting in
one hundred and twenty five
acres of small grain.
R. Mooremen will sow thirty
acres in wheat and rye.
D. C. Braze], manager at the
Live Oak Ranch, says fifteen
acres of oats have been sown
on that place, and that Mr.
Clay brook, who is on the Bra/
<->1 farm, will have in lilt) acies
J. P. Taylor came up from
Cisco and spent Sunday with
home folks.
Will Dodson and wife spent
Sunday in Albany.
Grandpa Burroughs spent an
hour with the News force last
Monday. He says the cool
weather of the past week has
had much to do with making
him feel better. ^
Editor Hatcher of Carbon,
was in Albany Monday even-
ing and made the News a visit.

soldiers, and of the government foi
bringing the astronomical ins rumenta

The attempt to justify the looting bs
referring to the example of Napoleon

The recent sentence of imprison-
ment on a Stuttgart journalist for lib
