Second Oat Cron Progressing
1 ■ ‘ I
Stock Is Being Turned Into Fields
In Mostl Cases But With Favorable
Weather It Is Believed Another
Oat Crbp Might Be > Harvested.
A second oat crop harvest seems
to appear aS' a possibility as an af
termath of the driest season this
community probably has ever known.
This season the oats did not “stool
out” arid were generally a very light
crop. Late season rains however,
started up this stooling out process
and- since the crop has been cut the
“second, growth”’ has come along and
is heading out nicely. .
It seems even possible that' with
a month or so of favorable weather
anothei* light crop of oats might be
harvested. Such an occurrence has
never1 before been heard of here and
few farmers will be banking on such
a phenomenal happening.
This green foot-high oat >orop
makes excellent pasturage at any
rate and stock is being turned into
such field on many farms.

A carload of six magazine sales
men breezed into town on Tuesday,
and by * means of a rapid fire line of
sales talk which they had memorized
word-perfect, secured a good deal of
business, chiefly among the fair sex.
So persistent were they in their sales
efforts that possibly some of the pur
chases were made to get rid of them.
This magazine, a 'well-known journal
could be secured for a “few nickles”
until they had their victim sold, and
then it was°a case of put your name
on a check for ' the sum of $1.95.
They claimed to be college students
most of them studying medicine, it
seems. But when their efforts to sell ,
were unsuccessful, we know of an oc
casion when one of them at least
proved to be anything but a gentle
man. . . ..... .
And. the ’’funny part of it is this
