A BRIGHT LETTER FROM TEXAS
ELKHARr, TEXAS, Oct 10. 1903.

ELKHART, TEXAS, Oct 10. 1903.
Editor Times Recorder: AS it has
been aboat year since the TImes-R Re-
corder has heard from a Texas sub
scriber, and as the boil weevil has eat
up all of his cotton, he will endeavor
to write some boil weevil facts,
If some of Sumter county's cotton
growers could see my cotton fields, [
think it would alarm them. From six
acres ] picked one-balf bale; there are
other fields in our neighborhood, from
ten to thirty acrts, that wou't make a
bale.
Every farmer 81 Ound here is going
into the hog raising business. They
are going to plant field peas and pea
nnts for hogs; then the Georgia farmer
can raise cotton on 6 cent bacon.
Last year the public GIN at Ekhart
ginned /, 300 bales of cotton, this year
1t won't gin 300. Last Year, at this
date, it had ginned 900, this year ii
has ginned only 131 bales. That goes
to show the ravages of the boil weevil,
Ia the northern part of the state they
have no weeviI, and if>all the farmers
in Texas we're in the plight that they
are in this section, there won't be hill
of cotton planted next year in Texas.
The boil weevil punctures the squares
as they make their appearance; they
turn yellow and drop off. The weevIl
is about three times as large as the
common corn weevil and is shaped
like an elephant.
do not see what some of the farm
or will do. They all cannot raise hogs;
they haye tried growing truck and ship
ping it to northern markets, and have
failt at that. The problem is, what
shall we do.

"lf you want thing well done you

popular proverb, and it may have been
wise rule at some remote period. But
1t won't work now. It has outlived
whatever usefulness it may have had
1t cannot be successfully applied in
this age OF big combinations. It would
DC very much out of place in the de-

would be fatal to all great modern en-
terprises. In fact, it never could have
mad any more than limited appl1ca
tlon since the days "when Adam deIved

POWER OF woMANs SONG

The women passengers the steam
ship City of Savannah, which was
struck by the great storm that swept
the Atlantic coast last week, are said
to have saved the other passengers
from getting panic-stricken by holding
an impromptu concert in the saloon of
the vessel as the storm ragged Seeing
that there was probability OF the
members of the stronger sex losing
their nerve as the ship rolled and
tossed in the trough of the great seas
that came over her, the ladies gathered
in the saloon and gave musical which
served as a panacea and drove away
the fright of those who listened to the
popular songs.
1t was very brave of the ladies to
undertake to calm the fears of the
5O-odd souls under the protection Of
Captain Johnson and his officers and
seamen. The power of song is unde
niabIe. The raising of hymn or the
humming of a ditty at critical times
las done much to keep up the courage
of the weak and tender-hearted 1t il
the song that soothes. There are mu
steal selections which, rendered at ap
propriate times, have been the cause

CONTRACT NOT AWARDED.

Owing to hitch in the awarding OF

on the ietty win be delayed. The Nor

the lowest bid 81 cents per ton, and
would have at once secured the con-

the contracts, only the offer provided
that it also be given the other con-
tract, 100000 tons. Before this IS ac-
ceded to the matter must be referred
to the war department for decision.
Naturally if the department rejects the
offer another call for bids must be
made, unless the company modifies the
offer, and such should be acceptable.
The two contracts to have been award-
ed were for 10000 and 100000 tons re-
spectively. The government intended
by letting the smaller contract at once
to get stone for early construction Of
