There is a glorious future for
West Texas. Its permanent and

and San Angelo is going to do her
part of looking after the interests
of the cattle raiser.

made such a success that capitalists have offered
to buy an unlimited amount of land for him if he
will undertake to organize upon it a modern
plantation system. A number of other men have
received instruction from his example, and his
whole community is tending to change from the
renting and cropping system to the system of the
plantation. This is not an isolated case; but
seems to be an earnest of a general movement.
The great new peach orchards of middle Georgia
further illustrate the recent tendency toward the
plantation system and it's adaptation to a variety
of crops.
"When the plantation comes to be re-establish-
ed predominantly in the fertile parts of the South,
it will bring order out of the existing chaos. By in
PRODUCING system in place of haphazard work, it
will lower the cost of production, increase the out
put, and enable the South to produce a greater
amount of it's food and other needed supplies.
5000. The hope of the South is in the a~pplica-
ton of the principle of the division of labor to
agricultural production"

A FORWARD STEP BY THE DEPARTMENT OF
AGRICULTURE.

A distinct step forward has been made by our
State Board of Agriculture in the election OF
Prof. H. II. Hume, as Horticulturlst OF the De-
partment. Heretofore our trucking and fruit
growing interests have not had the attention
thew deserved at the hands of the Department,
and the creation of this new office and the cleo
ton of Prof. Hume to fill it means much tor
these important branches of agricultural work.
Prof. Hume is a native of Canada, but has for
five years occupied the chair of horticulture and
botany in the Florida Agricultural College. In
this position he has made a special study of truck
ing and vegetable growing for Northern markets.
He will assume his new duties in North Carolina
May list, going at once to the Eastern counties
for work with strawberries, cabbage and potatoes.
In the spring he will devote himself almost en-
tirely to trucking problems, while in summer and
fall he will look after the fruit interests OF the
central and western counties and attend farmers
Institutes. Prof. Hume will also direct the hor-
ticultural tests at the several State test farms.
The truckers and fruit growers of the State are
to be congratulated on this forward step of the
Department.

DEATH OF HARRY FARMER"

The thousands of readers of The Progressive
Farmer will sorrow with the editorial management
of the paper in the news of the death of Harry
Farmer" (Mr. Henry Wyche, of Columbus
County,, which occurred at Whiteville Saturday.
Mr.. Wyche had been suffering from cancer for
several months. By his Harry Farmer Talks" in
The Progressive Farmer, he proved himself one
of the very best agricultural writer's in ali the
South, and did a great deal to promote more pro-
gressive farming methods. The world is poorer
for his untimely death, and we extend to the be-
reaved family our deepest sympathy. Mr.. Wyche
was only A years of age.

I'll WEEKS PAPER-SOME RANDOM COM
MENT
MENT.

The most notable agricultural feature of this
number is the article on Crib Selection of Seed
Corn" by n. c.. B. Williams. It is one of those
exceptionally valuable articles that make the read
er say, well, that letter by itself is worth the
price of a years subscription" We hope that no
farmer on our list will plant his corn before Civ
ing Mr.. Williams article a careful reading and
making an earnest effort to follow its counsel.
1t means dollars in the farmers pocket. Not the
least important part is that in regard to germina-
ting tests.
Among our other agricultural features we note
Mr.. r. G. Whitener's letter reporting his expert
ence in growing corn and peas-one of those
practical, common sense letters that we should
like to get in dozen lots every week; DR.. Burkett's
sensible comment on the breeds of hogs; "Read-
ers" protest against some practices that are
more general than we could wish; "Poultryman's"
article on keeping books, and another chapter
each from Messrs. Sherman and Gates.
We have been especially impressed by the Gas
tonia Gazette's comment on "The Grown Man
Who Can't Read" and we are reproducing it on
page 6 in the hope that it may lead the reader to
speak in this earnest but encouraging manner to
some acquaintance who has failed to improve
his opportunities for learning to read. How
would you like to be deaf to half the people you
meet! And yet the man who cannot read is
deaf to half the voices that speak to men and wo-
men to-day. That a man should remain content
with such deafness sounds unreasonable. Read
Editor Marshalls article, and bring the matter
to the attention of some one in need of such
counsel. It may be that he has been waiting for
just such a message as this to get him to make
the effort to educate himself. This is a great op-
portunity for doing good.

BOOK REVIEWS

Probably the best selling novel to-day is "The
Deliverance," by Ellen Glasgow, Doubleday, Page
& Co., Publishers, New York City,. Some review
ers have called it a romance of the Virginia tobac-
co fields, and it is that. Some have called it a pic
ture of the struggle between certain tendencies
IN the Old South and certain tendencies in the
New; this is also a correct statement. But it is
not as a romance of two lovers, nor as a por-
trayal of social conditions, that the book impress
ed US. More than anything else it is the tremen-
dous epic of a human soul. Bill Fletcher robs
the Blake family of their great plantation, of all
their wealth. and young Christopher Blake, a
mere boy at the time, surrenders himself to a
mighty passion for revenge. 1t becomes the cen
trail fact of his life; he feeds on it by day, dreams
of it by night. It leads to a terrible end, but
Christopher, coming at last to see the folly and
b~lackness of the work he had done, faces it
squarely, and makes a fearful atonement by paw
ing a penalty demanded only by the stern Justice
of an awakened conscience. It is a strong story
and woven with it is a romance of a very unusual
kind. lnterspersed, too, are some delicious bits
of humor and philosophy of which we give the
following samples:
"The only rule for maxim a woman think yo'
way is always to think hers"
"a man can't SOW wild oats in one generation
WITHOUT having a volunteer crop spring uD in the
next"
ever since the Garden of Eden, men have
taken a good deal mo- pleasure in layin' the
blame on their wives than in layin' their blows
to the devil"
"Lord! Lord! What's the use of bein' honest
If you can't pint your finger at them that amt? 2"
"A woman can convince herself that black is
white if she keeps trying hard enough-and it's
marvellous that she never sees the difference be-
tween wanting to believe a thing and believing it
in earnest"
ut was like many other marriages, 7 reckon.
as a single glimpse of her soul.o
~ you can't tell a polite lie, don't tell any,"
hegret IS a dangerous thing, my boy; you let
a little one no bigger than a mustard seed into
your heart, and before you know it, you have
Matched out a whole brood"
"When a man amt got a wife or child to nag
at he's mighty sho' to turn right round an be-
gin nagg1n at his neighbors, and that's why it's
the bounden duty of every decent woman to marry
and save the peace" ~

We are glad to note that Congress has passed
the bill increasing the salaries of mail carriers
from 5000 to 1920 a year. The measure will
doubtless pass the Senate without opposition.

MUST GIVE UP
CASEY T0WHEAD
THAT'S THE DECISION OF BAL
LARD COUNTY JURY AT
WlckLlFFE, KY, AGAINST
MRS. "A. A. MCCORMICK.

Special to The Bulletin.
Mound City. Oct. 20.-The Casey
towhead lawsuit, an action of forciblt
entry and detainer brought by the at
torneys of the owners of the property
namely, the heirs OF the late DR.. New
ton r. Casey, against Mrs. III. A. Nc
Cormick. was tried yesterday after
noon on the towhead, just above the
city.
The magistrate presiding was Jus.
tice w. NJ. Powell, Of Wickliffe, KY,
and the case was heard and decided
by jury of six men, all of Ballard
county Ky. The entire afternoon was
consumed in trying the suit. l.. NJ.
Bradley of this city and John Wick
life of Wickiffe, KY, were counsel
for the Casey heirs and Judge Dick
Lightfoot of Paducah appeared for
Mrs. Mccormick, the defendant. The
jury deliberated only about five min
utes and returned verdict for che
plaintiff
Mrs. Mccormick took immediate
steps for an appeal TO the circuit
court of Ballard county, Ky, by exc
cutting an appeal bond.
O. l., Bartlett, the hoop factory
man of this city, signed the bond of
the appellee-defendant. According 70
the law in such cases, Mrs. McCor
mick may remain the occupant of the
little house until the case is decided
in the higher court which convenes
in Wickliffe in January next. provided
she prosecutes her suit with effect;
hut the Casey heirs still retain and
will exercise complete control Of the
land and the chute. The appeal bond
is made to insure the owners of the
property against any damage it might
sustain by being improperly used OF
any loss that might occur though the
actions of the appellee, between the
present and the term time of the cir
cult court. There was an article in
a local paper, in the issue of last
week, that somewhat harshly criti-
cised Mr.. r.. B. Cottier, agent for the
Casey heirs, as TO threatening Ian
guage which it was alleged he used
relative to the property in controver
ty. The public should be appraised OF
the fact that Mr.. Cotter made no
phone or othorwise--and
lid nothing or said nothing that would
reflect adversely on any reputable citi.
zen. The newspaper article referred
to put into circulation rumors that
did Mr. Cotter gross injustice. and |;
is but simple fairness TO him that he
be placed in proper light. The fore.
going was fully verified by the evil
dence given for both litigants at the
trial.
