PREDICTS TEN CENT COTTON
Col. Peters Thinks the Crop
Short and Immature.

Col. f. S. Peters, president of the
Texas Cotton Growers Protective
Assoc alton, yesterday furnished
the Dellas News the following com
munication:
| To the News: After carefully go
ing over your reports and figures
and comparing them with other data,
want 10 congratulate you and say
they represent the true condition at
this time aud sustain the report OF
the statistics of John Hyde of the
Department of Agriculture, issued
on the 3rd of this month.
The advance information given to
the farmers and planters of the
South by the Department of Agri-
culture saved them millions of dol
lars. The spectators and "knock-
ers7' have done everything in their
power to discredit the report, but ii
still stands and all evidence from
the crop and reliable information
only proves it's correctness. The
present large receipts only prove an
early. Immature and short crop.
While / am advesse to making pre-
dictions, ] have no hesitancy in
saying that midGIling cotton will
sell for Ice and above before another
crop of cotton is placed on the
market, provided the farmers will
use good judgment and market the
crop slowly.
In this connection, wish parties
having insects of different kinds af-
fecting the cotton plant TO be sent
to me here, so as to have the ento-
mologist of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture find out
what kind they are, and especially
the boil weeviI from North Texas
and the Territory to prove definite

Miss Kelly intended to use the front
of the building as store, which was OF

the store and the two upper tenements
were TO be let

the carpentering gang and today had at
work with him six other men.
At o'clock Fox felt the building
tremble. A terrific gust of wind swept
across the valley and struck the build

shake.
Immediately Fox heard the cracking
