Good Advice by a Texas
Farmer.
The Progressive Farmer.


Would you like to know how
we Texans are getting on farm
ing? We are generally backward
with our work. A great many
have not planted corn yet. We
have a large acreage sown to oats
twice as large as last year, and
our corn acreage will be larger
than last year. | am satisfied that
there will be at least ten per cent
reduction in the cotton acreage
In our country; Notwithstanding
there are few that will plant
more than they did last year, but
such people as these who want to
make none, will act the dog at
any rates. fear that good many
of our eastern brothers are going
to plant all this year from the
quantity of fertilizers hey are
buying.
@Brother farmers, let's use some
judgment, and not plant so much
cotton. We will get more clear
money out Of 20,O0O,000 acre
crop than we would out of a 35,
100000 acre crop. And, again, it
will give us a chance to make
plenty of other crops to run us
and have some to spare. Why
should we kill the goose that
laid the golden egg, when there
is no use to do 500
I will give the cotton acreage
planted on our place for the last
two years: In 1904, we planted
200 acres; In 1906, we planted
160 acre 1906, we will plant 125
acres. We can't make and gather
cotton for four or six cents
pound, which will be a good price
if we plant big crop.
Let's plant corn and plenty of
feed crops and raise lots of hay
and young mule or two, and we
will not need so much money.

the instant death of very serviceable

-Four empty cars were standing on the
track near the log pond, and as is Gus
tomary, loaded cars are dropped down

cars lost all control of them, and the
loaded cars starting on descent bump

string of cars went flying down the
track. About this time the above
named driver was crossing the track.
and when about in the middle of the
crossing, discovered the cars coming
towards him at a terrific rate OF speed,
and stopped his team and tried to back
IL off the track. Not being able to do
this i'm time to avert n catastrophe, the
cars struck the team and cart and a
general mix-up occurred, the team be-
ing thrown on one car while another
doubled over on top of the team and.
In this manner the cars and team were

THE DAMAGE QUESTION
Is GIVEN NEW AGITATION
Senator Flint Asks the State Depart

the Colorado River.

Washington. d. c.. Dec. 11.-Senatcr

ment to make representations con-
corning the Salton sea in the Colorado
desert to request the department to
make a demand on the Mexican gov
eminent Immediately 10 repair the
damage which has been done at the
outlet OF the Imperial canal. While
watering the lands Of California that
canal is taken out Of the Colorado
river on the Mexican side Of the line.
and the senator takes the position that
the break in the river bank is due -
the failure of the Mexican government
TO exercise proper supervision over the
construction of the canal.
He was accompanied by Director
WalcOtt. Of the geological survey. who
also took the position that the Mex
lean government should be held re.
sponsible for the damage. Their IN
terview was with Assistant Secretar~
Bacon who promised to communicate
with the ambassador in Mexico. Sen
ator Flint called special attention to-
the fact that there has recently been
a new break i'm the canal: that it was
apparent that the damage had gone
beyond the possible repair by the peO-
PIE interested. II is reported thai
from fifty TO ninety per cent of the
water of the river is again leaving the
channel that unless this could be turn
ed back there would be losses to prop
erty amounting to millions Of dollars.

CALIFORNIA; PROTEST
AGAINST THE JAPANESE
Congressman Kahn Presents the Pa
eifie Coasts View Of the Oriental
Question.

New York, Dec. 11.-Japa nese immi-
grafton was bitterly denounced in a
speech tonight by Representative Julius
Kahn of San Francisco. Mr.. Kahn
was speaker at the dinner of the
New York Credit Mems association.
His subject was THE japanese ques-
ton as affecting San Francisco
The people of the Pacific coast. he
said, were satisfied that the japanese
would always remain loyal to the mix
ado and that the oath of naturalization
would be TO them a hollow mockery.
Californians did not want that kind of
citizenship and did not intend to have
it if they could prevent it,
THE people of the coast said he
had their experience with the Chinese
coolies. Now We are threatened with
another Oriental invasion still more
serious, for the japanese have all the
vices of the Chinese with none OF their
virtues"
The treaty between this country and
Japan he said. giving free entry to
each country to citizens of the other
was one-sided. as the labor conditions
are so different in America and Japan
that only the Japanese can be benefited
by the international agreement.
He defended the policy of the segrega-
ton of the japanese in the public
schools of California. and said that the
people of his state would never permit
their children to be thrown into close
contact with adult japanese. He con-
cluded by saying that the United States
would not go to war with Japan.

The above is a cut of the Rev. G. L.
Barker. Evangelist, who will COM
mence a series of union meetings in
the opera house on Sunday evening,
March 18th, and will continue for three
weeks. MIR. Barker has been engaged
in evangelistic work for the past
eighteen years, and has conducted
meetings from Maine to- Mexico and
is we'll known through the land as an
evangelist.
Mr.. Barker was born in New York
city in 1858, and was converted to God
in 1876. From the first he felt called
to the ministry but felt that he could
not give up his position as book-keeper
in large mercantile house in New
York.
When spending the summer at
Ocean Grove, N. j., he met the Rev.
G. H. Yatman who said: Barker,
what are you doing?" Barker
answered, keeping books" Mr..
Yatman said, 81 would like to take
you by the neck and pull you out and
place you where God can use you;"
to which he answered, "Charlie, pull
ahead"
In December 1884 he became Genl.
Sectys of the Young Mems Christian
Association in Bordentown, N. j.,
which he held until 1886, when he
accepted the position as secretary Of
the Y. M. G. A. at Camden, N. ]. He
remained there until 1891, when he
felt called to enter the evangelistic
work.
As preacher he has thought deeply
and speaks forcibly and fearlessly,
and with unusual power OF direct
statement. His complete self posses
sion, apt illustration and effective
delivery give him command of his
audiences, enlisting their respect and
sympathy in behalf of the cause he
represents. One cannot listen to him
without feeling that life is worth
living. He holds his audience with
marked attention. His happy way OF
unfolding his subjects crowns his
sermons with marked effectiveness.
He has strong ideas and also the
courage of his convictions and is not
afraid to speak them. He is fearless
in his attack on sin, yet does it with
power of love for God and man. He
does not resort to abuse or slang, but
tells the truth in such way as to
reach the hearts of men through the
intellect. He is loyal to the pastor,
