WEATHER AND CROPS
Agricultural Burean Reseris Steady In
pr0vemeRl IN Condition Of Cotton.

Washington, ID. c., July 26.. The
weekly weather and crop bulletin
shows that cotton has suffered to
some extent from lack of cultivation
and too rapid growth in portions of
the central districts, and while she'd
ding and rusts are reported in places,
elsewhere the crop has generally
done well.
Bolls are now opening In more
southerly portions, and picking has
begun in Texas, where ample rains
tions prevailing at the close of the
previous weeK.
Boil weevils have appeared in two
border parishes of Louisiana adj la
cent to counties that are affected
in Texas, but as yet are causing no
material injury.
Texas Reports indicates a steady
Improvement in the general condi-
ton of the cotton crop. The crop is
now practically laid by and in ex-
cellent condition except, perhaps,
in q few northeastern counties.
The plant, except in a few localities
were checked by drouth, continued
to grow and to fruit nicely. Shed
ding has become quite general, and
in few counties, somewhat serious
over the southwestern and central
divisions, but the rains of the week q
have considerably improved condit-
ions in those sections, as the plant
is now under renewed growth and is
beginning to fruit again. The dam
age from boil weevils and boil worms
continues to be comparatively small
except in few southwestern
counties. Cotton is beginning to
open as far north as the south cen
trail counties, and picking has been
commenced in the southwestern
division.

II seems right now that those who
are wishing to buy farm land have
+ allied and are waiting TO see what
figure the boil weevil will cut In the
cotton crop, so | will give you a
few ideas | have gathered In read
ing and hearing others talk.
In the first place the weevils are
not plentiful here at this time and
are not likely to do much damage
here this year, and in my opinion,
they will never be so destructive to
the cotton crop here as they have
been further south. This idea is
drawn from the fact that we had
millions of them here last fall. We
found them after the first freeze In
all stages in the frozen cotton bolis
two weeks after the freeze and they
were very dead. They cannot stand
very much cold weather.
Although we have grown bolls
now on the cotton | have not been
able to find any wsevils. | suppose
there are some but ! haven't found
them.
In Victoria county, in the heart
OF the boil weevil section, for years
there has been an increase in cot
ton. For six years the production
has increased from 5000 bales in
20 to IL 900 in 1903 and land has
steadily increased In price.
In Williamson county, also In
the weevil section, they made more
cotton last year than they have
made in years and land Is steadily
increasing In price. | noticed q
short time back that land was sell
Ing st $50 per acre between Taylor
and Bartlett.
The main boil wsevil section last
year was composed Of the following
counties: Robertson, Freessone,
Limestone and few other sdioin.
ing counties. This 10 timbered
sandy country; cotton In this kind
of country furnishes them better
protection through the winter. Cot.
ton was better in the open prairie
spots in the counties mentioned
than In the timber, and when we
consider that the land In this
country will produce from III TO 40
bushels OF wheat and no end Of
corn and oats, and almost any kind
of crop can be grown here at great
profit, you need have no fears TO
buy land at the present prices.
Now | am no land agent; the
ideas here advanced are drawn by
reading and talking with conserva.
tive men, and in my opinion the
weevil will never do as much dam
age to cotton here as the boil worm.

I'm in big hurry, but ] want to
tell you that "Old Rony" found her
little calf the other day and that
makes the little six-year-old boy

never understood till this spring
what it means to be deprived of this
luxury. 1t does people good to be
deprived OF necessities every now
and then, they appreciate them bet
ter. Another thing that makes the
boy grin-this calf means and end TO

THE BlANKET ppInApY.

In commenting upon the resolu-
ton passed by the congressional
convention at Hillsboro Saturday
declaring opposition to the blanket
primary system of nominating
congressional candidate, the Ennis
News says:
The convention declared its oppo-
sition to the new method of nomi-
mating a candidate for Congress by
the blanket primary election and re-
solved that it wants 20 60 back to
the good old fighting plan of con-
ventions, where they can have some
fun and make the fur fly like they
did when DIN Welborn and Barney
Gibbs made it possible for Judge
Abbott to go to Congress, and like
the old Sixth did when Judge Burke
was the recipient of the outcome OF
more than one hot convention fight.
1t is probable that this may prove
the entering wedge to everlastingly
break up the whole primary election
plan as dictated by the State.
Undoubtedly the News misunder-
stands the meaning of that resolu-
ton. In the first place there is no
going back" to be done. This dis
trict has never nominated a candi-
date under the blanket primary sys-
tenn. 1t was tried in Judge Burke 8
| last campaign, but the counties
| over-ruled the action of the con-
| gressional committee. and Judge
| Burke was nominated by a majority
| convention vote, although he re-
| ceived a minority of the popular
vote of the whole district. The sys-
tenn declared for at Hillsboro is that
under which we have operated all
the time, and recognizes the indi-
viduality and unity of the counties.
1t cannot possibly have the effect
| to break up the whole primary
| election plan as dictated by the
! State The manifest unfairness OF
| the blanket system was demon
| strated in the Fort Worth district a
few weeks ago when Judge Poindex-
ter carried every county in the dis
trict except two, by good majorities
| but was overcome by the total vote
| of Tarrant and Parker counties ad-
ded to that received by Gillespie in
| the counties carried by Poindexter
| Under the convention system Poin-
vention vote of the counties carried
| by him, but he received credit only
| for the total vote received in the
whole district, and thus Gillespie,
with the couventionvote of only two
counties was made the nominee. So
far as the choice of the other coun-
ties Of the district was concerned
they had just as we'll have held no
| convention.
Such would be the result in this
| district under the blanket system.
The solid vote of Dallas added to the
scattering vote her candidate would
receive in the other counties OF the
nee for all time to come. Under the
present plan each county is entitled
to it's own strength in convention
and the individu ality of the county
is not sunk into that of the whole
district. When candidate for a
district office goes into a county
and wins it he should be entitled to
the whole strength of the county,
Just as the county candidate is en-
titled to the nomination when he has
received the highest vote among his
competitors.
The Light favors the present
system, and commends the action
of the Hillsboro convention as emf
nently wise and fair alike to every
section of the district.

GOOD. SHOT


ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 1S.-Twenty
thousand members of the Ancient Or
der of Hibernians and the ladies' aux
iliary of that organization, will have
assembled here by tomorrow to attend
the national convention of the two
bodies, which will open then.
Several delegations arrived today. D.
j. Creighton, the sole delegate from
Hawaii, is also here. This is the first
time Hawaii has sent a delegate to the
national convention. Fraternal repre-
sentatives will also come from Aus
tralia, Mexico and Ireland.
Among the irll5ssj ant questions to
come before tI1e9 convention is the
proposition to bring about the elimina-
ton of the grossly caricatured Irish
man from the American stage and a
proposal that Irish history be taught in
parochial schools.
One of the most important measures
to be presented to the convention is
the movement to- establish monu-
ment to the memory: of Commodore
Jacob Barry, an officer in the American
navy during the Revolutionary war, in
Lafayette square, Washington, D. c.,
between the statues Of Lafayette and
Rochambeau.
