AWARDED FIRST HONOR.
One man in Dooly county has har
vested forty bushels of wheat from
one acre of ground. Has any other
Dooly county farmer done better than
ttfht? This was done without the use
•of fertilizer. The ,man is Mr. S. N.
, Lupo. Mr. Lupo's average yield was
about 20 bushels, this one acre being
particularly fine, was. carefully har
vested and kept separate from the
•other until weighed. Forty bushels
to the acre is considered a remark
ably prolific yield for the best land
The- results are especially gratifying
since they were accomplished without
artificial enrichment of the land.
"Mr. Lupo expresses a willingness to
put the greater part of his harvest at
the disposal of the government.
The 1918 commencement exercises
came to a close with the program pre

The hour of chief interest in all

graduating exercises. These exercis

quota being more than doubled. Ordi
nurily an attempt to explain an error
serves only to make it more conspic-

mistake is so easily explained howev

creditably upon those about whom thc
error was made as to make it a real
pleasure to make the explanation

forward so generously with any work

Relief from the heat and dust that
have prevailed for some time past *
came in the form of a storm of rain,
wind and lightning Tuesday night
Tho heavy downpour of rain was at
tended by intermittent flashes of
lightning und strong wind. The only
damage of any importance was done
by the wind, fences were blown down,
shelters ripped from their support and
carried to considerable distances,
trees stripped of their limbs and in
some instances entirely uprooted, tele
phone lines, twisted, crossed and brok
en, poles lifted from the ground, etc.
One house in the negro district is said
to have been demolished the woman
occupant receiving slight injuries.
The clarification of the atmosphere
and the refreshing effect upon vege
tation are sufficient compensation for
the fury of the storm which was soon
spent.
The smallest race known is that of
the Bushmen of Southern Africa, the
main height being 4 feet 3 1-2 inches.
Chinese breed stags for their horns
which are cut off when soft and used

Sawdust and wood are to be used

branch bears fruit and flowers at the
