Once Planting Too Much Cotton

:
Once Planting Too Much Cotton.
There's a heap o. talk just now
about you can't raise too much cotton
AM prices are goin' to be away up in
the fggers even if we do raise thun-
derin' crop this year, which reminds
me of Uncle Ezekiel Barton's expe-
rience In the year 1904. That spring
as You all remember cotton went to
seventeen cents pound an all the
FOOLS went around howlin' that there
never would be cheap cotton agin'
am that we couldn't raise too much
cotton no matter how we tried.
Well, Uncle Zeke had been pretty
keerful always an never had stopped
over much, an never had bought any
corn, nor hog meat. That spring,
howsumever, all that talk got onto
Uncle Zek's brain, an after a lot o.
hard thinkin' he. concluded it would
De q good scheme to plant a powerful
crop q cotton, make q big kllin' an
quit rich.
Aunt Sally protested pretty strong,
she didn't believe nohow in folks OF
their age changing their ways, but
Uncle Zeke's head was sot, an he
took 8 big fifty acre bottom field that
he. had been intendin' to plant in corn
an, slapped in cotton. Then he
hunted up all the good patches o.
ground ON the farm am put 'em in
cotton. The upshot o the matter was
Uncle Zeke had about a hundred acres.
8, cotton am about twenty-five acres
d the poorest land on the farm in
corn.
Well, he sho raised q crop, more'n
hundred bales OF cotton an about
two hundred and fifty bushels o. corn.
Z when Uncle Zeke sized up his corn
crop he. felt kind o. dubious, but it
was too late then. Well, you all
remember how cotton commenced to
drap, an she kept drappin' until IN
December she teched six cents at
Uncle Zeke's market.
The old man was plump beats~ He
couldn't fgger it out, but thar she
was.
Bein' good Baptist he didn't cuss
ont In the open, but he sho had some
bad thoughts. For the fust time in
his life he had gone IN debt on cotton
crop. In January, 1905, he sold all
he had left at Z 10 cents, paid his
debts an went home an asked Aunt
Sally to please have a guardeen ap-
pinted the next time she saw him
goin' crazy. That spring he pitched
crop o. forty acres cotton, eighty
acres corn, but in March he had to go
ii town to buy corn. an when Sid
Burton the merchant gasped an said,
ssYou buyin' corn, Uncle Zeke 2"
ssYes,n says Uncle Zeke very fierce,
aain't got as much right to buy
corn as the rest o the big fools in
this beat ?p Sid saw the old man was
mad an shet up an sold him the
corn.
But Uncle Zeke amt oyercroppin'
on cotton no more. You bet. The
other day Sid asked him; "Goin' to
putin q big crop O cotton this year,
Uncle Zeke ?''
..No, son. says Uncle zeke, 4

County Commissioners Meet.

JuVenne Judge V. c. Gunneil appeared
before the county commissioners yester-
day in connection with the application for
a salary of SIS a month from the county
for probation officers. He argued that
the $500 appropriated by the state was not
sufficient compensation for the work
done. The matter was taken under ad-
viSement.
With regard to building fence along
the dangerous portions of the canyon
road, Commissioner Mckay reported that.
owning to scarcity of labor, work had
been suspended until the fall when it will
be completed. In the matter of the pro-
posed bridge across the north fork Of
Ogden river in the Liberty district the
board accepted a proposition to purchase
for $500 land for new right of way. This
will do away with the necessity of build
ing the bridge
