SOUTHERN GLEANINGS.
Texas Crops.

GALVESTON, TEX, June Is.
After careful analysis of crop reports
as published here lately, covering seventy
six counties and embracing 136 official re-
ports, the following summary is obtained
of the condition and prospects of Texas
crops: The yield of corn and grain is re-
ported as above the average in 46 cases, an
average in % cases, and below the aver
age in 81 cases. The acreage of corn aud
grain is above the average in 63 cases, an
average in % cases, and below the
average in 13 cases. The general
condition is reported as good in II
cases, fair in 80 cases, and bad in - cases.
In nearly all cases the crops are late,
and in many places have had to be re-
planted, owing to heavy rains. The COM
parisons above are made in all cases
with the great crop year of 1928.
The cotton crop, similarly compared
with the great crop year of 1882 SO, is
reported as good in sixty cases, fair
in ffty-One cases and bad in twenty
five cases, having been replanbed in
thirty eight cases, and as late in seventy
three cases. There is an increased acre.
age returned in fifty-four reports and de-
crease in fourteen. Taking it altogether,
the report as to wheat and corn is most
favorable and encouraging. As to cotton
it is not quite as good, but the prospects
seem to be fair.

VVeII Matched.

The mixed wrestling match Sat
urday night between Duncan Ross and
Charles Moth, champion OF Germany, was
an intensely exciting affair. Each man
worked faithfully. Moth had everything
20 make. The first bout, catch-as-catch-
can, was won by Ross after pretty strug-
gle of eleven minutes. The next, collar
and elbow, was won by Moth. The third
bout, side-hold in harness, was won by
Ross, and the next, collar and elbow, was
placed TO Moths credit. The third bout,
catch-as-catch-ca can, was a surprising ex-
hibition of skill and strength, lasting
twenty-five minutes, Ross finally coming
out winner Of the bout and the match.

Dangers from Canned Goods.

Another danger arising from canned fruit,
and vegetables is that which proceeds from
the contents themselves. IF a can is sound
the head is sunk in. If the contents have
commenced to decompose the head is bulged
out. Dishonest dealers buy these ''swells,
as they are called, punch hole in the he adj.
and put the cans in boiling wax to drive out
the gases, after which they solder up the
hole. That is to say, they repeat the process
followed in canning. But cans SO treated
will have two solder-holes instead Of one
Such cans, if purchased, should at once be
sent to the Board of Health, along with the
contents and the name of the grocer who
sold them. All buyers of canned food
should reject every can which does not show
the line Of rosin around the edge of the
solder on the cap, knowing that the muriate
of zinc has been used when it is absent
They should also reject all goods which does
not bear the name Of the factory and also
the name Of some wholesale firm on the
label, and should test the sounduess of the
contents Of a can by pressing in the bottom.
If the pressure is followed by rattle, caused
by the displacement Of the gas, it is not Fl,
for food. A sound Can has solid feel. II
there is any rust around the cap on the in
side Of the head of the can the contents are
not good.
