Letter from C. H. Kirkpatrick Plainview. Tex.. July 20. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Shaffer: 1 tlibk I promised you when I left Alvo I would drop you a few lines. Maybe it would interest some of my friends as well. To begin, will say we had a very pleasant trip down here. Thanks to Mr. Moore, for routing us the way he did. My better half said it beat any time she had ever made in coming down here by over five hours, set we landed in Plainview June 1st at 10 a. m. That was tolerably early but nevertheless C. L. Barrett ami wife were there to meet us and took us out to their home ten mflcs in the country. We stayed there over night and they brought us back to our home in town the next morning. The weather had been quite dry here when we arrived but it rained over ten inches in June. This is a great country lor wheat. They have been harvesting now for over a month and are not through yet. The combined harvester and thresher seems to be the proper thing to har vest wheat with in this country. I was out in the harvest field yesterday and saw one of the larger ones in operation. It was cutting a 24-foot swath and cost ?G,000. I have also oon one of the 12-foot machines in operation and I think they are the more practical. They cost about r2.00(). Wheat is yielding from four to fifteen bushels an acre and is sell ing at from 90 cents to $1.10 per bushel. Some of the late cutting is damaged considerably. They also raise quite a bit of milomaize and kafir corn here, but they do not raise any field corn. There is quite a bit of alfalfa, but I am told they can not grow red clover in the state of Texas. Potatoes are not raised very exten sively. This is a very level country al most too level. One can see as far as the eye can reach. I have not HELL, Owner Resident Mgr. NEBRASKA UKTEY, NEBRASKA the Wife! NEBRASKA I been out over ten miles from town. however, and am not attemptiuo i tell vou much about Texas. I will tell you a few things about riainview. They claim a population of 5,000. Quite a fine town, the county seat of Hale county and a real business place with a large territory to draw from. There are three banks, ten churches, a Baptist college, high school, four ward schools, a busi college, six elevators, one of 250, Q00 bushel capacity, flour mm, creamerj, J ice plant, laundry, four department stores, ten grocery stores, two men's furnishings stores, two show houses, j two bakeries, five barber shops, three meat markets, filling stations and ' garages too numerous to count, threo jewelry stores, five lumber yards, three feed barns, two poultry nouses, two green houses, two wholesale gro cery houses, a live Chamber of Com merce, ten or more doctors, four large hotels, several restaurants and most every class of professional men ! to make up a good town. There are 1 lots of sidewalks. Farmers here live in town and farm. I think there are more real estate men here than any other profession, although there are lots of preachers and doctors and lawyers and "Judges" and "Colon els." The nights are quite cool and lino for sleeping. The hottest I have no ticed was 88 in the afternoon. I suppose you are getting tired reading this lingo. I will trv and bring my letter to a close in the morning. I July 21. I Had a shower last night. I was interviewing J. B. Wallace, federal grain inspector. He told me he had inspected 00o cars of wheat and that, there had been 225 cars of wheat shipped out of Plainview to date. I suppose you will wonder how I like it here. This is a good country and we have a fine home and good neighbors. The people all seem to be very kind and tiie town is a very orderly one.
