1t is very dry out here. It has
not rained enough the past six
months to put stock water in the
tanks, consequently many of our
farmers are now having to haul
water for their stock. AS the wa

scarce l had we'll drilled. Good
luck for me, found good water at

well 80 feet in order to have a
supply of water. 1t now stands
48 feet. | consider my we'll worth
$500, would not take twice that
amount and do without it.
d E Bonds has gathered his last
bale of cotton. We gathered and
sold our last about two weeks ago.
Lots of cotton in the fields yet.
notice the gin man at Stamford
has given notice he will close
down his gin the Goth, SO all that
is not gathered by that. time will
be plowed under. Most farmers
have kept up with their blowing.
So when the last acre is gathered
they will have all ready to plant.
| want to tell the readers of the
VIDETTE something more about
boil cotton. We gather the bolls
whether they are open much or
not and they are run through a
SUCTION pipe into a machine called
a huller, thence into the gin. In
the meantime separation takes
place. The hulls and trash ale

are now making middling cotton

The Lindsey boys are living
near us. They seem to like this
country very we'll. One of them
came to the west about 10 years
ago. He owns a good farm.
Well, would like to speak of
many more who came from old
Tishomingo but my letter is al
ready too long.
We are glad to know the discus
sion of the stocklaw has ceased as
it was doing no good to anyone.
DE Bonds has rented out his
farm to his son Ellison and anoth-
