LIVE AT HOME.

Bastrop Enterprise James ]. Hill,
the great railroad magnate, has prophe-
sled that in the near future the cost of
living will be so high that the wage
Garner will be forced to economic
that he will have to abandon meats and
other high priced articles of good and
live on cereals, light and cheap diets
This may be true as to wage earners
in cities and thickly populated COM
munities, but it will never affect peo-
pie like hours, where every man, though
poor in possession of this worlds
goods, he is his own master, with plen-
ty of room to grow his meats and his
bread. And his meats will be of the
very best beef, mutton, kid and chicken.
We can not imagine people practicing
economy, when they are already having
to plan and shift to make their small
incomes to support them. This is the
life of the wage Garner of the thickly
populated countries, but not so with
the people in country like ours. There
may come times when we are forced to
be less extravagant, but we have too
much room and our facilities and re-
sources are too great to actually want
for the necessaries of life, If we only
work.

THE COTTON CROP
Favorable Weather Conditions-Good
Progress Reported-Boll Weevil.

New Orleans Picayune: The past
week has developed, as rule, favor
able weather for the cotton crop. 1t is
true that there has been little rain in
Texas since the showers accompanying
the tropical storm of the preceding
week, but temperatures were not much
if any above normal until the end of
the week, when hot weather was COM
planned of. In the central and eastern
portions of the belt the weather has
been generally favorable and the crop
is reported to be making good progress.
As to just what the present condition
of the crop is as compared with pre-
vious years there are many shades of
opinion. There is pretty general agree
ment that the crop is backward, and,
therefore will come to market late. 1t
is also pretty we'll understood that the
prospect does not favor as large yield
as last year, but just how much poorer
the crop will be than last year is the UNI
solved problem. The government report
on condition, due today, is expected TO
throw some light on the condition of
the crop as expressed in percentages
on July rs.
There is less complaint of the raw
ages of the boil weevil than most peo-
pie expected would be the case this sea-
son. The comparatively dry weather
was evidently not favorable to the rapid
propagation of the pest, and its depre-
dations have accordingly been restricted
by that fact.
The corn crop continues to make ex-
cellent progress and banner yield OF
that cereal is looked for throughout the
South.

THE MEMPHIS REPORT
Cotton in Central and Northern Texas
and Southern Oklahoma.

In. its weekly report of cotton the
Memphis Commercial Appeal of Au-
gust 2 says:
Cultivation of the cotton crop has
now been about completed, and its fate
depends entirely upon the weather,
which at present is dry. Telegraphic re-
ports show that moderate local rains
fell on Friday and Saturday in Arkan-
sas, Tennessee, Mississippi and Ala
bana They were highly beneficial but
were not sufficient to relieve the drouth,
as many sections got no rain at all.
The only section of the cotton belt
not in need of rain lies east of Ala
barna Elsewhere the need, with local
exceptions, is becoming insistent. The
plant has reached the fruiting stage, and
being small and late, needs moisture to
promote both growth and fruiting.
The cotton in central and northern
Texas and southern Oklahoma is fast
losing ground because of the drouth. In
Louisiana the weather is favorable. but
weevils are on the increase.
Owing to the irregular distribution
Of rainfall for the past month, crops
are spotted. There is much cotton in
all parts of the South not more than a
foot high on this, the second day OF Au-
gust. This fact and the irregular stands
which are heritage of the grassy con-
dition of the early summer, makes the
average low, although there are dis
tricts with good cotton.
The plant is stock, healthy and in a
clean state of cultivation General rains
would greatly improve the outlook.
