As the boy was driving the horses in from the field one of them whirled and kicked the child above the right eye cutting a gash two inches long. He was taken to the hospital by his father and Omer Sayrs where it was found that his skull was frac tured. An operation was performed immediately to lift the broken bone from the brain, bus at the present time the outcome of the accident is still unknown. Examination at the hospital showed that the outer skull had been driven in until it broke the inner skull and pushed a piece of it against the brain. The operation was to remove this piece of bone, which was over an inch long, from the brain and to place the out»* bone in place again ---- SMUT REMAINS MOST CODILI WHEAT DISEASE The 1932 Yearbook of Agriculture is now being mailed out by Congress men to those of their Districts who request one.
