THEY WON'T
STOP GROWING
Egg Plants Have Been Bearing
Eight Months.
The Land at FaIfurrias Works Early and
Late for its Fortunate Owners II
Yields Big Crop, and Half
Crop is a Fortune.

While shipping the FIRST car OF
watermelons, Falfurrias has kept
up the record, and up to date has
shipped out about forty cars, and
at the present time is loading from
FIVE to seven cars daily. Owing
to the honey dew attacking the
watermelons, the crop will be at
least one-third short, and may ex-
coed this. But even in the face of
this trouble, the productiveness of
the soil is so great that all of our
farmers will be well pleased with
one-half crop, says the cores
pondent of the Galveston News.
The shipment of vegetables con-
tinues large, aud roasting ears,
cucumbers, beans, egg plant, beets
and cantaloupes are going out dali
ly by express in large quantities.
In relation to egg plant, the
writer asked one of our prominent
farmers the other day now many
crops he had raised in one planting.
He replied so far, with the excep-
ton of about three weeks, he had
shipped egg plants from the same
ground and vines every week
since last November, or, in other
words, the vines had produced
for practically eight monts.
The recent warm, dry weather
has put cotton in fine condition.
and it is expected that the first
bale will be shipped out in about
two weeks, with a prospect of beat
ing last years record four or FIVE
days.
One of the Government cotton
experts stated to your correspond
ent a few days ago that he saw
fewer signs of boil weevil now
than he did three weeks ago. This
he attributes to the warm, clear
weather which we have had; and
he also said that from the present
outlook a bale to the acre on the
majority of the land would not
surprise him.
Our gin is now ready to start at
a moments notice, and we expect
big demand for cotton pickers
very shortly.
The artesian well diggers have
all they can do, and it is crafty
ing to say that at no point have
they ever failed to bring in good
we'll, and this is not at the sacri-
fee of the old wells, for they are
maintaining their regular flow
which they have had for years.
The entire country is fourishing,
and the farmers are in a happy
frame of mind, with plenty of
work before them that will show
good profits.

Peanuts.
good profits

This year at Falfurrias, Tex,
w. R. Barnhart of St. Louis is
growing three hundred acres of
peanuts. Too little attention has
been paid to this crop, a most
productive and valuable one. o.
A. Duerler Company of San Anto-
MO, who handles large quantities
of nuts for confectionery every
year have been doing all possible
to encourage the planting Of
peanuts in Southern Texas. Last
season they sent out man to
instruct growers who could be
induced to plant. The supply Of
peanuts grown at home can never
equal the demand.

Camphor Trees.

1t is not a generally known fact
that camphor trees grow remark
ably well in the Gulf Coast States.
They make fairly rapid growth
and are a hardy tree. The bruised
leaves are redolent of this well
known drug. The trees also make
fine windbreak. The United
States Department of Agriculture
is now making experiments with
these trees at Pierce. Tex, in
order to determine their value for
this purpose. As yet they have not
been utilized in this State for drug
purposes.

St. Paul, =. {. U.-With a view to
arranging for more profitable mar
keting of their crops number of Min
nesota farmers who are members of
the American Society Of Equity met at
the old capitol, planned to establish a
clearinghouse for their own products
and to raise prices so as to make their
business more profitable.
At the meeting a number of matters
with reference to the transportation
and marketing of crops were dis
cussed. Reports were made by three
special committees appointed to con.
fer with reference to the prices of po-
tatoes and grain and to formulate by.
laws and constitution for the organ
ization. The potatoes committee rec
commended that farmers demand IS
cents bushel for potatoes on cars at
the shipping points.
The committee on grains recon-
mended that $1.25 per bushel be asked
for wheat, IS cents for ~'>y, 70 cents
for oats, $3.50 for flax - 81 for rye.
There was considerable discussion
over what would be fair price for
hay, but $50 per ton was finally agreed
upon, with $3.50 per hundred pounds
for timothy seed. Although the reports
Of these two committees were adopted

Chicago, e. -,-Wilbur Glenn
Voliva, who successfully grasped the

the hands If John Alexander Dowie
and expected to reign in his stead
after the death of Dowie, has an
nounced to 1000 of his followers in

At the same time he announced that

property adjacent to Zion City and
found the colony there.
The speech of Voliva was his swan
song so far as Zion City is con-
cerned. He said that he had received
formal notice from John c. Hately,
the receiver of Zion City, to yacate
the premises which he has used as
Offices and the publication plant of his

said that he would get out and would

HOPES TO ARRANGE RACE
Upton Disappointed by Action
of New York Yacht Club.

London, --.-Sir Thomas Lip.
ton is bitterly disappointed at the fail
ure Of the New York Yacht club to
accept his challenge for another series
of races for the Americas cup and is
anxlously awaiting official information
on the subject through the Royal Irish
Yacht club, which he hopes will give
in detail the reasons for the American
clubs action.
In an interview Sir Thomas said he
could not understand why his chal-
lenge had not been accepted, as he
had been led to believe that if he
challenged under the universal rule
which prevails for races in the United
States there was every possibility of
his challenge being favorably received.
He added, however, that he had not
given UP hope of sending a yacht to
Sandy Hook in 1908 and already had
telegraphed to William Fife, the de-
signer, to come to London for a con-
sultation.
There was but one thing which Sir
Thomas was emphatic about and that
was that he would not challenge under
the old rule. One reason for this is
that there is no designer OF note in
Great Britain, which includes both
Fife and Milne, who will design boat
similar to the previous Shamrocks.
They say that to do so would necessi-
tate the production of even a greater
freak than those which have already
gone to defeat. Besides the danger
of sailing such boat across the At
lantic must be taken into account and
Sir Thomas is not prepared to again
risk the lives of men in such a ven
ture.

Center Bridge, Pa, on the New Jersey
state line, which the company con-
tends is terminal station, was built
In 1906 on the advice of John G. Mil

commended by the government IA the
Center Bridge station was built as a

NOT CONSIDERED SERIOUS
Cuban Situation as Viewed by Wash.
inQton Officials.

Washington, 60 War depart
ment officials, while admitting that
agitation is rampant among the negro
population in Cuba because of their
failure to receive their proper share of
the Offices, declare there Is little prob
ability of any uprising against the
| provisional government on that &C.
count. The negro population, compos-
Ing 80 per cent Of the people who op-
posed Palma's government, claim they
have not been fairly treated. A con-
t1nuat1on of this agitation, it is admit
ted, might have a serious effect in
driving some of the malcontents to at
tempted risings in isolated places, but
Governor Magoon Is said to be pre-
pared to prevent anything like an in
surrection.
Acting Secretary Of War Oliver was
at the White House during the day,
but he did not regard the stories of a
Cuban revolt of sufficient Importance
to bring it to the presidents attention.
Governor Magoon is keeping the war
department advised Of the situation
and is consulting freely with General
Barry and other military officers in
command Of the army of Cuban pacifl-
cation. His dispatches, for prudential
reasons, are not made public. The
agitation has been in Havana and
Pinar del Rio provinces, in the latter
province being among the lawless
class, mainly negroes.
Governor Magoon has reported that
private and official advices from San
t1ago, Puerto Principe, Santa Clara
and Matanzas provinces indicate abso-
lutte tranquility there. General Barry
has telegraphed from Havana:
Referring to newspaper accounts
Of agitation in Cuba 1 have been alive
to the situation for some days, though
nothing has developed worthy of re-
porting. All intelligence officers and
station commanders have been alert
and have reported everything con-
corning it. Daily reports from them
show tranquility in all provinces ex-
cept Pinar del Rio, where there is
some slight agitation among lawless
class, mainly negroes. Am satisfied
any friction which may arise will be
promptly and successfully handled"
