TRUCKERS DOING WE'LL.
irish Potato Yield Was About Sixty
Five Bushels to Acre.

AT Mansfield a sufficient portion of
the Irish potato crop has been gath
cred and marketed for the truck
growers to make a fair estimate of
the general results. The yield has
been about sixty-five bushels per
acre. and the price has averaged
little above 81 per bushel, and the
cost has not exceeded $40 per acre
for seed, fertilizer, sacks and cost of
cultivation, which shows comfort
able balance on the right side of the
ledger. The season has been a very
unfavorable one, and the truck
growers now feel sure that they can
rely upon the potato crop as a staple
product for this section
after careful test for three seasons
in succession. Some of the leading
truckers now contend that they have
better results from home-raised seed,
and as result a fall crop will be
raised with the view of saving their
seed for next season.

Clerk Forced to Open Doors
and Hand Out Mail.
PASSENGERS were NOT AaOLESTED
Several Registered Packages Secured,
Believed to Contain Large Sums
of Money. $1,000 Re-
ward Offered.

| Omaha, Neb.-Masked bandits
held up and robbed Union Pacific
train No. 2, known as the Overland
Limited, few miles west of this city
and secured number of registered
| mail pouches.
The robbers evidently got on the
train at some town west OF here. The
hold up occurred about i've miles
west of the city limits in deep cut
along the recently constructed lane
cut Off. The robbers climbed over
the tank and forced the engineer to
stop his train and then proceeded to
the mail car. The clerks were forced
to open the door and hand out sew
eral sealed pouches of registered
mail. Once they secured the bags
they hurried away in a southerly di-
rection and permitted the train to
proceed.
The passengers were not molested,
and as soon as the robbers left the
scene of the hold up the train pro-
ceeded to this city. A big squad of
poiiSC HUI lieu W tuS SCGuG anu dI
once started in pursuit of the ban
dts
The train was delayed but fifteen
minutes and left Omaha for Chicago
on time.
The robbers gathered up seven
pouches and the leader then remark
ed:
This is all we can get into our au
tomobile."
They left quickly, walked down the
track 800 feet and clambered out of
the cut. A continuous fusilade Of
shooting was kept up during the rob-
berry, evidently to intimidate the pas
sengers and crew
The Union Pacific officials offered
a reward of $4,000 each for the cap
ture of the robbers. and big force
of police and deputies from both
Omaha and South Omaha have start
ed in search Of the outlaws. What |
direction they started in when they
left the train is indefinite, and |
whether or not they had an automo-l
bile is not known. It is believed they
took advantage of the first opportu- |
nifty offered to rifle the pouches and
made their escape to q hiding place
chosen In advance.

other hand, reports from the entire
northern portion of the state give no
mention of the pest having yet
shown up. While it might have ap-
peared in isolated places, so far as |
know the weevil has not yet come to
light in North Louisiana" Mr.
Evans is in charge of the work in
Louisiana and Arkansas, under DR..
Knapp, and has the two states thor
oughly covered with over seventy
representatives, and that none of
those in North Louisiana has yet re-
ported the appearance of the weevil
indicates that it has not begun it's
work in this section yet to any ex-

the cotton crop is rather backward
this year, caused by the cool spring,
and no squares have yet appeared.
Cotton in the Delta section will not
begin to show squares before ten
days, according to information sent
