AT STATE
The indications were Monday
that Torrance county would have
a very respectable showing, with
a good prospect of winning a nice
bunch of premiums, at the state
fair. Mr. Farley spent a lot of
energy and money in getting the
agricultural display together, and
the winnings in that line will be
largely due to his work. W. W.
Wagner of Mcintosh was there
with some live stock, J. E. Moody
entered his fine black team, and
Peter J. Moe entered a very fine
three-year-old colt. There may
have been other entries in this
line that we did not learn about.
Also, another line of products in
which the Estancia valley ex
cels was represented by the Hitt
twins of Willard, and the heir
apparent in the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Ben Striplin, which were
entered in the better babies con
test. If these babies do not win
prizes we shall think the judges
were prejudiced. In the agri
cultural and horticultural lines
there were two large loads of
products, and while they were
not in place on Monday when the
News-Herald man was there, it
was evident that the display
would be a nice one. P. A.
Speekmann took over a load, and
remained to help Mr. Farley ar
range the display and look after
it.
AND LEASES
The committee having in
charge the soliciting of land and
oil and gas leases for the deep
well project are now busily at
work, and the indications are
that the residents will do their
share. If the non resident land
Kowners do as well, the required
land and leas?s will be secured.
