Uncle John Parks, Of Solcmonville

last week from Il trip to his old home
near Dallas. Texas. lie reports that
section of the Lone Star state in
most depressed condition. The farm
inc country is owned by Il few land
lords, whose tenants are fast sinking
to the level of ser's. Tn landlord
compels the tenant to plant cotton al
most exclusively, and a. the country Is
fenced up very few of them can even
keen mich COW, and but few oil them
have even a garden patch. But few
houses have been painted In
ten wears, and the country generally
has a woe begone appearance The
boil wevil has also reached north
Texas, which may prove blessing In
disguise. as it will cause ad;verslhca-
ton of crops, which will give the ten
ant a chance to live. The cattle ousl-
ness of Texas has gone to pieces, and
i, now looks like the long horn oarons
are un against the real thing. The
trouble is mostly with the inspection
laws. which probably are all right
but it puts such 3 heavy cost on the
cattlemau that he can't get his stock
out of the country. Cattle can now be
bought at most any price, but 1t Is
next to impossible to get them out OF
the state. Uucle John thinks Arizona
