Rapidly Coming to the Front Rank
Picking Now in Progress.

The secretary Of the Commercial
League brought into town and dis
played at the Office of the Times
Record several stalks Of cotton that
were worth looking at. One stalk
from the farm of Iguace ValdertO was
of the Chatham variety, with scarcely
any leaves, and boll5 in pairs close to
the main stalk. This sort is of value
in rainy seasons because the freedom
from leaves gives better circulation Of
air and allows the ground to dry
readily, thus preventing scalding or
shedding. Mr.. Valderto has the
above variety on sod ground and it
looks good. One stalk of Peterkin
cotton from Valderto's had 60 healthy
bOlls and stalks itself being about
three feet high. We are told that
such cotton should yield bale to the
acre.
A stalk from the farm of w. c..
Lehman's was over six feet tall and
contained over two hundred bolls and
squares. Mr.. Lehman's cotton is per-
fectly healthy and has not even shed
square and looks good for a bale
and half to the acre.
DR.. S. A. Knapp, formerly of Lake
Charles, now cotton expert of Texas
for the United States government, IN
forms US that if we continue the grow
ing of cotton on a considerable scale
that he will see that We get the assist
ance of cotton expert for the next
year who will see to it that we are
thoroughly informed. Times Record.

Letter to ". ". Welsh.
WELSH, La.

Dear Sir: You ask how many
square feet gallon will cover. De-
ponds on condition OF building.
There is great deal of lying on
this point. The stock claim Of lying
paints is 300 square feet, two coats.
It's lie, as rule.
Devoe covers 300 to 500, our agents
think. We think 300 too low and 500
too high; though doubtless, they both
occur.
How much the other paints cover is
equally doubtftl;we guess 100 to 400.
The truth is found in another com
parisOn. DevOe is all paint, true
paint, strong paint, and full-measure;
the others in general are, at the best,
diluted, adulterated and short-meas-
ure. They cover according to body
and measure. You can't paint with
clay lime chalk sand barytes water or
air-no body in them. Go by Devoe.
Yours truly
