period, provided there are the same
number Of fair days. The Weather
Bureau shows US that there are just
as many fair days in Mississippi
Louisiana and Arkansas as IN East
Texas during the growing period OF
cotton. As rule careful exam
ination for the past four years shows
that there has beer an excess OF falr
days in those states during the period
m en- i d above. maght
mention another county where things
went very badly, and that was De'
Soto parish, La, an ideal section Tor
the boil weevil ald one OF heaVy
rainfall. w e commenced there
because it was stated to US that 1t
was the worst infested section OF the
state. In 1908 the cotton crop re.
turned to nearly its normal product
and confidence was completely re-
stored.
It is my firm belief that the most
important work to be done IN all the
communities where the weevli has
lately invaded, or is liable to invade,
a section, is to maintain confidence,
It is quite likely that it is better to
reduce the crop little and raise
more home supplies; this would
have been good advice ten years ago.
1t is also important that a better
variety of cotton, more prolific and
of early maturity, should be planted.
The people should make an effort to
raise all home supplies and avoid
advances as much as possible. They
should hold meetings to this effect
and encourage each other in good
work. The most disastrous thing
that could occur is for the people to
attempt, in the midst of this panic,
TO abandon cotton entirely and re.
sort to other crops and industries.
A civilization cannot be changed SO
suddenly without tremendous loss,
a loss, in my Judgment. entirely un-
necessary. Wherever our Demon
stration work has been given a fair
trial and the people have cooperated

bales; in 1906 it was Y, ,320 bales;
in 1908, while full reports are not in,
it will probably exceed 1900 bales,
OF course between these years there
were some bad crop years, but even
in the bad crop years 1t did not fall
anywhere near the level of 1903.
This is only a sample of what has
occurred as the weevil advanced
eastward through the timber belt of
Texas.
The worst thing we have had to
contend against was the panic, be-
cause it Immediately affected capital
and cut off the sinews of war so that
the people could not cultivate as
much land as before. Then, there
are some people who are naturally
alarmists, and they became busy in
every county which we entered. We
will take Harrison county ou the
extreme east border of Texas, where
the annual rainfall averages about
fifty inches. The boil weevil struck
this section in 1906, but too late to
seriously damage that crop. La 1907
the panic was SO great that many of
the leading farmers did not believe
that crop could be made and they
set their help to cutting cross ties.
Some labor went to the sawmills,
some small farmers moved out of the
county altogether. 1t will be recol-
lected that 1907 was bad crop year
ON account of the cold spring and
even in Louisiana many farmers had
to plant four times before they got
anything like a reasonable stand and
then only secured an Indifferent
stand. We put into Harrison co.
about two hundred trial farms of
from one to five acres each. The
prominent eilizens rallied to our
support and gave every local aid
possible. The season was SO bad at
one time during the spring large
body of tbs tenant farmers decided
to abandon the farms entirely, and
it required our greatest effort to hold
the people to the making Of a crop.
The crop that year was slightly less
than 5000 bales. But on the Dem.
onstration Farms they made good
crops and these farms were so scat
tered that everybody was persuaded
that q COOP crop could be made even
under the worst conditions. | doubt
if there will be any county in Ark
ansas, Louisiana or Mississippi with
worse conditions than existed in
Harrison county, Texas, in 1907,
| unless it be visited with an overflow
That year we had large section oi
country where the farmers could moi
. get into the field for three weeks,
The ground was so soft that thei1
horses would sink SO deep into the
soil that it was impossible to do any
work, and all the fields became very
grassy If there had been no weeVil,
there would have been a small crol
IN 1907. The restoration of cobf
dence caused the extension of the
planting in 1908, with the result
that the crop will approximate 0,00C
bales for that year, In the meantime
there has been considerable diversi-
fcation, all of which, with confidence
in The cotton crop, has been helpful
to the county and has produced a
great advance in the price of real
estate. A recent letter from a
prominent citizen Of the county states
that lands have advanced, within the
past two years, from 100 to 500 per
cent in the county.
