A PROMISING FUTURE.
Conditions Favorable for Splendid Crops
of all Kinds in 1909.

Conditions Favorable for Splendid Crops
of all Kinds in 1909.
The Eagle reporter has interviewed
quite number OF farmers from differ
ent parts of the county since the rec
ent rain and freeze and the general
opinion is that prospects are very
promising indeed for good crops of all
kinds this year The rain followed
by the hard freeze, has revived hope
all along the line and put new life and
new energy in everything and every
body.
The farmer in his imagination can
see his crops growing and ripening
full for the harvest, and relying upon
a benefcent Providence for the gen
ial sunshine and gentle showers. he
awaits with patience the full fruition
of his hopes in the golden autumn
time. The merchant also confident of
the farmers success, is wearing a
'livlier iris for he well knows trat a
bountiful harvest means a plenteous
garnering for himself
Nearly all the lands in the county
have been broken and the freeze and
rain have left them in splendid con
dition and everything is ready for
the planters. The freeze also no doubt
killed many harmful insects, and this
viii be great aid toward making
good crop.
, The greatest thing, however. that
is going to benefit the farmers of Braz-
os county, is that they have been thor
Bryan morning eagle and pilot. (Bryan, Tex.) 1909-1909, 1909-02-19

oughly convinced Of the value Of terti-
lizers and improved seed. They are
also thoroughly alive to the advant-
ages Of the latest improved nipple
ments and scientific methods, and by
these aids will have their corn crop
made before the hot dry weather
strikes it, and their cotton wen fruited
before thetbou weevils become numer-
Gus epohgh 10 do serious damage.
SEVERAL communities are planting a
4arge acreage in Irish potatoes and
these will bring them in money at an
otherwise very dull season. The
Eagle believes that Irish potatoes are
to become an important factor in Braz-
os county farming. If those undertak-
ing the work this year are successful,
and the Eagle sees no reason why
they should not be, then the move
ment will become general, and in the
future we will have another money
crop besides cotton.
All are going to diversity to some
extent. Some will have chickens, tur
keys and eggs for sale, others butter
and all will raise vegetables and
everything else possible for their own
tables. They all fully realize that
along this road only. lies the way tC
prosperity.
The Eagle sees nothing in the future
to be. alarmed about, but on the other
hand, firmly believes that better anC
brighter day is already dawning.

THE POET.

(By Joe McGee)
The poet sat in his plain old chair
Thinking what was best to say,
While his patient wife with busy care
Was clearing the dishes away.
1t didn't take long, for she had but few
And they of the plainest kind,
And life TO them was rather blue,
As he got no pay for his rhyme.
And thus their lives went day-by-day
And their board was always stent,
But he still continued to write his lay
With the same old sweet content.
And yet they say she was patient and
good
And her words were always kind,
Though she sometimes had to cut the
wood
While he wrote some bran-new
rhyme.
And children grew up to bless their
home,
Though eleven was all they had.
And they often felt the pangs of want,
But still they were proud of Dad. e"
Thus year-by-year went heeting by
And they both grew old and bent,
And the end Of life was drawing nigh,
But they hadn't laid by one cent.
Was laid to rest when the summons
came,
In box of plain white plank,
While everyone called him a learned
man,
Yet, they all called him a crank.
And when the years had passed away
TIL they almost reached a score,
BY chance, a fellow called round one
day
Who was fond Of old Folklore
And on 'helf TO his surprise,
He discovered a bundle OF rhymes.
And a twinkle Of joy came in his eyes
As he noted its well written lines
And then re had them neatly bound
in book Of attractive style.
And they were read in country and |
town.
From the Old to the small wee.child
And now they began to look around
FOR the place that gave him bitrh.
And when at last the spot is found
They christened it Sacred earth "
And when the whole world sang his
praise
But alas it was too late.
Ills nature had gone through such Il
change
That he didn't appreciate.

BRYAN, TEXAS, FEBRUARY 10, 'O9.
The Proper Age to Begin Education.

The proper age to begin education
is wholly misunderstood. OF course a
child begins to learn the minute it
takes it's first breath, and in its first
three years 1t probably learns more
than in any other subsequent three of
its existence, but 1t understands little
OF the phenomena II perceives. Until
It Is nine or ten years old its whole
purpose in life Is learning its environ
ment, and sometimes ii is ten years
more before it really understands the
simplest things II has learned. II is
therefore not at all strange that II a
child is kept out of school until its
brain is fairly well grown, say until
9 or 10, that its subsequent progress
is greater than that of children who
must often unlearn many of the absurd
conceptions they formed in the first
years of school life. We must realize
that until or 10. the school Is merely
a nursery to relieve mother of the
home care of children, species of
socialism to which Americans are
welded. Studies now given to these
tots must be postponed until 10 or 13
and subjects now given TO these chill
dren are really Appropriate for the ages
OF IA to II, and so on. Every time
a teacher reads absurdities in exami-
nation papers she should realize that
the child is generally too young, and
that the whole system must be chan
ged.-American Medicine.
