The shortage in the crop, the low
price and the inferior quality of rice
are convincing arguments that the
salvation of the rice belt depends on
crop diversiication. Raise a patch
of garden sass, corn, oats, cotton,
plant a few pigs, import cattle and re-
duce rice acreage accordingly and
success is bound to come.

HANDSOME DISPLAY OF VEHICLES
DayidSO1.WesSOn Implement Compa-
nY's SpecialtY Is the Enterprise.

At the solicitation of II. +. WeSSOn,
manager of the Davidson Wesson In
plement Company, Ltd, a Journal
! representative was shown through that
company's spacious vehicle emporium
yesterday morning. Mr.. Wesson was
| particularly anxious that we see their
big display Of ENTERPRISE BUGG1ES,
a carload of which had just been re-
ceived, making the sixth carload Of
| that make of buggies and surries, said
he, that the company had received
within the past three seasons.
The display made by this car of
ipggies, in addition to the large stock
Of surries and road wagons already
on hand, presented an appearance
unsurpassed and seldom eGualled in
any town twice the size of Welsh, and
compared fayorably with stocks car
ried in houses in large cities.
The fancy of the most fastidious
buggy buyer and observer of themany
fine points that comprise the makeup
ola good vehicle may be easily pleased
here. Buggies suitable for the man
whose ideas are Rooseveltian in the
extreme and is blessed with large
family and also those for the ardent
and gallant Romeo whose ambition
is realized when CLOSE beside his fair
Juliet in vehicle that fits as noise
lessly and with asmuch ease as shad-
ow, are found in this establishment.
Mr.. WeSSon stated that more than
$50 ENTERPRISE buggies were now be-
ing used in the vicinity of Welsh, and
that the name of each purchaser Of
this make of vehicle was on record in
his office as a safeguard for the buyer
unacQuainted with the various makes
that an investigation as to their quail
lty, merits and longevity may bemade.
He further stated that those now using
the ENTERPRISE BUGGY, if for any
reason it has not given entire salts
faction or in any way was not as rep
resented, to call and the short coming
would be made good. This method of
doing business, he said, had been
practiced by them since the day they
opened and he attributes their success
largely to that fact.
Another item of particular interest.
according to our informant, is that
drummerS tell him that MORE ENTER
PRISE BUGGIES ARE SOLD AT WELSH
THAN ANY OTHER BRAND OF BUGGIES
BETWEEN New ORLEANS AND HOUS-
TON.

that the farmers swere putting too

wise the farmers to hold their rice un-
