PREDICTS DROUTH FOR NEXT YEAR.
Prophet Hicks Says Dry Weather VIII Prevail Fol
Nineteen and Four, eliminating In A
Drouth In Nineteen and Five.

Farmers as rule are anxious
to get any possible reliable in
formation concerning future sea-
sons that can be had, and while
there is no absolutely positive
information obtainable as to the
weather in particular localities,
Rev. Irl Il. Hicks, of ST. Louis,
comes nearer correctly prog
nosticating the weather generally
than any other prophet of the
time. In his journal, "Word and
Works." for August, he takes a
peep into 1904 and gives his
opinion as follows:
ssFrom time to time it Is our
custom carefully to sum the
causes and give our readers our
conclusions. in general way,
concerning the seasonal outlook
for the coming year. Hundreds
of importunate letters are being
received from farmers and lead
ing commercial 1uen, asking Off
opinions concerning the rainfall
in the spring and summer of 1904.

Residence Burned.

The residence, and practically
all its contents, of DIR. S. s. God
frey of Beech Creek was DESTROYED
by fire Tuesday about noon. The
Doctor was at Winfield attend
ing court at the time and there
was not a man person about the
place. Mrs. Godfrey and chill
dren and negro servant did all
they could to save some of the
household effects, but saved only
two or three beds, few quilts
and few of the Doctors surgical
instruments. The building was
partly insured.

This information is the more
earnestly sought thus early in
order to determine whether they
will seed heavily this fall. We
say very frankly we expect an
other time of shortage in rainfall,
over the great western and north
western grain regions, within the
next two years. The probabili-
ties are that The crisis will not be
reached before the summer of
1905. If we were in the farming
business, we would plan this fall
for larger crops of wheat, and
other crops calculated to with
stand dry weather in the summer
of 1904. We would make a

in length 1926 miles, on the two
banks of the river IN the states of
Louisiana, Mississippi and Ar
kansas, constituting the finest
levee system ever known on any
river, on every mile of which is
the stamp of the Federal govern
ment.
While the assistance of the
Federal government has been
thus powerfully exerted, the main
reliance, at last, for the mainten-
ance of an adequate levee system
within the state is upon the state
and the levee districts. This will
continue to be the case until such
time as the Federal government
shall assume full control of the
river to prevent it's floods.
The power of the state govern
ment should, therefore, when
needed, be exerted within the
full limits of the law, to hold the
river within the levees at its food
stages.
The maintenance of the public
credit of the state anil of the
leyee boards and other state
agencies authorized to issue bonds,
at the very highest point, is OF
the greatest Importance. The

anxious care of those intrusted

SUCCESSFUL FARMERS INSTITUTE
Was Attended By Representative Number OF
Farmers and OtIlers.--A Farmers Club
Organized.--The Proceedings

1He farmers institute helI
here Monday was attended bv :.
representative number of farmers
from different portions of the
parrish and a number of others
who take an interest in agricul-
tural affairs. The meeting was
not as well attended. however, as
it would have been but for the
fact that court was going on at
the time and many were detained
there. and the prevalence of
measles in town caused many to
remain away. But those who
did attend were well pleased and
seemed to greatly enjoy the
discussions.
THE PROCEEDINGS.
The farmers institute was
called to order promptly at IL
O'Clock a. M, in the beautiful
Methodist church by Hon. Geo.
A. Kelly, who delivered in a
few well chosen remarks an ad-
dress of welcome. During his
remarks Mr.. Kelly recited bit
of Winn parish history. He said
the parish was Incorporated and
named by an Irish legislature and
always possessed a spirit of indie
pendence. 1t was named for the
Hon. Dick Winn, then member
of tlfs' legislature from Rapides
parish. He stated that an exam
ination of the assessment rolls of
the parish for the past fifteen
years shows an increase in the
value of taxable properly CT over
three hundred per cent. No
other parish in the State can
show as great an increase. There
are fewer mortgages on Winn
parish farms than in any other
parish. The hill farmers are
prudent, farseeing and indepen-
dent. They arc called Hill
Billies, but they are the men
who have made Louisiana what
it is and will be in the front rank
in future development.
At the close of his remarks Mr..
Kelly introduced Prof. ID. n.
Barrow. of Calhoun, as the first
speaker.
Prof. Barrow made a few
brief remarks on the work being
accomplished by the farmers and
said that shook farming" is not
looked upon with so much aver
sion as formerly: farmers are
trying to become more familiar
with modern agricultural meth
DDS. They are giving more
thought to agriculture. This is
4 hopeful sign and is telling In
more and better products. He
wants a farmers club in every
section where farmers can meet
and discuss affairs, which will
result in the improvement of
their condition and products.
After some remarks in regard to
the necessity of representative
exhibit at the worlds fair next
year, he introduced Col. Chas.
Schuler, of DeSoto parish, as the
orator of the occasion.
Col. Schuler made a short
speech in his usual happy style,
and told how North Louisiana
farmers should make more
money out of their cotton. and
corn and how they can raise
bacon for less than one cent
pound. He told how he does it
and how every other farmer can
do the same. After few gem
eral remarks on the necessity of
agricultural education for the
boys of the farm. the Colonel
announced that he was no orator,
especially before noon, and the
institute adjourned till after
dinner.
