REGARDING Landlords and Makes Susses-
ton to Waco Wholesale Merchants.

Since | wrote my article ABOUT
Waco Landlords. it has occurred to
my mind thst perhaps | did an unin'
territorial wrong to certain Waco land
lords. l never saw the time that |
was not willing TO make an apology
for any wrone done my fellowman, or
when l would not thank any gentle
man for cAllng my attention TO any
fault | had. will further say, |
never was offended by ANY GENTLE
MAN in my life. The hardest people
to reach on earth. are the uniformed,
the ignorant. The poet beautifully
sings "Only ia DARKNEss grow
HATRED and strife" The apology J
may owe certain Waco landlords, may
be that | supposed they subscribed
for and read the Waco papers;
whereas some sndords may not have
neighbors close enough to BORROW
a paper from them to read, To such
of course l owe al apology; for you
may not even know the kind Of goods
your merchant tenant keeps and for
fear you might be called upon to re
pair a Leak roo. OF unsafe door, you
prefer to collect your rents through
some bank or rental agency We
were told by neTspaper man few
days ago, that one Of thu big gest
landlords in Waco never spent ONE
DOLLAR on that paper. Poor fellow;
he would not be expected to help his
town or patroniza his rent burdened
merchant tenant. We apologize to
his sort. The Waco Trading Co., are
very busy these days, thank you, sell
ing goods cheap for cash, and furnish
ing homes from kitchen to parlor.

SPEAKER CRISP.

AS was expected the Democratic
caucus unanimously and without OPP
position renominated Representative
Crisp for speaker of the house. In
accepting the nomination he said:
1.-THE extraordinary condition of af
fairs throughout the country has ne
cessltated our meeting in extraordinary
session. In so far as that condition is
attributable to the existing laws we
are in no wise responsible therefor.
Now for the first time in more than
thirty years we are in full power. We
can repeal laws and make good ones.
The people have entrusted us with
that power and expect us to exercise
it fortheir behalf.
"Our financial system should be re-
vised and reformed. The strictest
economy in public expenditures should
be observed and taxation should be
equalized and greatly reduced. To
these purposes we are thoroughly COM
mitted. We must redeem these
pledges. Let us lay aside every other
consideration than the public good
and endeavor to so discharge the du-
ties assigned us as to restore conf
dence, promote prosperity and ad-
vance the general welfare of all classes
of people.
Sincerely grateful for yoIr conf
dence and esteem, pledge myself to
devote to the discharge of the duties
of the responsible position you have
assigned NE all the energy and ability
l possess.
Today he will be made
speaker of the house for
the most important session of
in the last quarter of
a century. His earnest, direct words,
in accepting the important trust
to him, will be taken as a
pledge of honest, conscientious duty
% be performed. If he shall succeed |
n sending them home to the con.
ciences of every member of congress,
hen may we hope for speedy reforms.
Cor when congress shall 'lay aside
very other consideration than the
public good" then indeed will dawn
N era of wise legislation, under whose
,enignant light our nation will pros
,er and bloom like rose.

Corn Weevil.

We are fast approaching the time for
cribblng corn, and this is therefore a
good time to consider whether we eau
do anything to lessen the destructive
ness of the weevil. There are thou
sand specifics for the purpose, but SO
far as l know none absolutely, and
unvaryingly successful. The writer
has tried quite a score of them, but
never entirely escaped the weevil. The
nearest approach to that much desired
end was made in last seasons crop,
when | tried Carriers Weevil De.
the destroyer according to
directions the result would doubtless
have been more satisfactory.
La the first place the corn was too dry
before cribbing, and the mixture was
not applied in so large quantity as
called for in the instructions, but in
spite of this unfair chance it had the
effect of greatly lessening the damage
done by the weevil This was clearly
demonstrated by comparing the con-
tents of the treated crib with one I'M
treated Although the latter was
cribbed while yet charged with natu
raj moisture and went through a
sweat, which is allowed to be inju
rious, If not fatal to weevil germs in
the corn, the Carter treated crib had
fully rs per cent less damage done to
it than the other. Under more ia
vorable conditions | believe the re-
suit would have been much more de-
cided Speaking of my experience to
one of our best farmers a few days ago,
he expressed the belief that the Wee
vii could he avoided entirely by
proper treatment OF The crop. |
enquired how this was to be managed.
He replied that he had experimental
and proved beyond a peradventure
that if the tops were nos cut from the
corn stalks, as usually done for fodder,
that not weevil would be found in
the corn even after lying in the crib
until the following season. He said
that his experience was supported by
that of several other reputable far
mers, and only required a trial to
move its virtue. | received the idea
with thanks and submit it to my read
erS. If anyone has tried it and found
ii an effective weevil cure they will
do a great public service by letting it
be known and to help remove any
doubt that may exist as to the feast
bility of the plan. Such doubt lin
gers in my brain, as l have so far
failed to see the connection between
the corn top and the insect which de.
velops in the grain.
Can anyone throw light on this very
important problemg

Flowing Under Dew.

We knew af4rmer once who claimed
great benefit from blowing and cult
waiting land while its foliage was wet
with dew. His theory was that the
dew had much more ammonia and
carbonic acid gas than had rain water,
aud that these, if turned under the
surface, could not fail to enrich the
soil. We think there is something in
that practical farmers theory. There
is at least the advantage that
the man who tries that plan must
needs be up Bright and early, and if he
works till II O'Clock can we'll afford to
take two or three hour incoming DUR
ing the hottest part of the day. This
is better for both men and teams than
beginning late and taking no rest ex.
cept q hurriedly eaten dinner until
work stops.
1t Is the continuous work without
rest that is most exhaustive, and if
getting the dew under the soil adds
fertility, the days work ought to be
gin early and the rest come an hour or
two before noon. But dew even, if
not plowed under, helps the soil
that it drops on. Everyone has
noticed that when heavy dews
fall on clover, grass or corn then
drops of dew fall from the leaves upon
the ground. The soil absorbs the car
bonic acid and ammonia when the
dew touches it. The effect of plaster
of Paris to increase the dewfail may
be ole OF the reasons why it helps
clover and other crops so remarkably
as it often does. 1t has little or no
fertilizing properties in itself. but
when it is placed on any kind of vege-
tation it enormously increases the
dewiall upon it, and that helps both
the plant and the fertility of the soil.

FARM NOTES.
Edited by John c. Edgar, Duval, to whom all
communications for this column should be adj
dreSSedl

The time honored chestnut that
the "rain falls alike upon the just and
the unjust" is daily hurled at the
head of some one found complaining
about drouth. But the ancient ak
iom brings little comfort TO the thirsty
sinner, when the saint is suffering the
same affection. 1t IS true that the
laws of nature regard not the moral
or religious QUALITIES of the lnhabi-
tants of this sublunary world, an.
that the precipitation OF Hoisture is
pretty fairly divided between the
saint and the sinner in the section ia
vored by the pluvial monarch, but
there is marked discrimination be-
tween sections.
We have an example of this in my
section. Austin and a narrow strip
of country Immediately north
has been lately visited by
several good showers almost amount
ing to rains, each succeeding shower
falling on almost the same area as its
predecessor. The same applies to the
district about 20 miles north and
northeast, but the intervening coun-
try, in which section l live, has not
had so much as shower, worthy of
the name, for the past SIX weeks And
so it is over central Texas; a few spots
have been favored with light rains,
WI hi a l,a hal IF + pNr
has been left rainless.
Where these showers have fallen
grass and sorghum has been benefited,
but cotton has passed the stage for
rain to help it much beyond swelling
out small bolls. All indications point
to the crop now maturing in Texas be.
ing the shortest yield per acre since
1879.
To those conversant with the real
condition of cotton and the utter
ineffectiveness Of rain to increase
its proportions, it is amusing and dis
gushing to read the daily reports
from the cotton dealing centers.
Every little local slower, in the cotton
belt, seems to be duly reported to the
cotton kings in New York and Liver
pool, with the unvarying result of a
fall of few points in the price of the
staple. A few local showers, barely
sufficient 10 lay the dust, are sure to
be described in the cotton reports next
day as fine general rain which as
sures a good cotton crop" The op
timistic authors of such reports will
be duly undeceived. The crop though
very short, is very early, and will soon
be in full motion. This will be fur
Their argument for cutting prices and
we must not look for much improve
ment till the bulk of the crop has been
picked and perhaps marketed, and its
shortness fully demonstrated.
