CROP CONDITIONS.
Dr0uth Changing Bumper Crop with
low Market Into Short Crop and
High Market.

Much anxiety is being felt at the
present time on account OF the pro-
tracted drouth, which is certain to cut
short the 1909 rice crop. Many stories
are being circulates that greatly ex-
aggerate the true condition OF affairs
in the rice belt. There is no doubt
but that the dry weather is cutting the
crop short. There are hundreds Of
acres of rice that have never been
watered and never will be, yet the
earlier fields are in pretty good shape
and although at a greater expense to
the we'll men, the farmers are in the
main able to keep up their evaporation
and in many instances continue flood
ing new fields. The various reports
of salt water causing the shutting
down of most of the canal plants are
also either fabricatiOns manufactured
out of the whole cloth Or at least eX-
aggerations of the real truth OF affairs.
A careful investigation of the Mer-
mantau, made last Thursday by Rev.
James Ellis, we'll known in rice circles,
showed that there was no salt water
in that stream until a point consider
ably below Lake Arthur. Mr.. John
Roundtree, head engineer on the
Indian Bayou plant, stated Tuesday
that they were all flooded up and that
there areno indications of saltwater at
their plant. Reliable information re-
ceived from the Lacasine Plant Tues
day was to the effect that salt water
had not reached them yet. In an in
terview with Mr.. POmeroy, manager
of the Illinois plant Wednesday, he
said that although they have had to
stop pumping from the Bayou on &C
count of salt water, that they have at
least three weeks pumping from their
reservoirs, which he believes will make
the most of their crop even if it does
not rain by that time.
While the present drOuth will cut
the yield of the crop Is per cent Or
more, it is equally as safe to guess
that it will increase the price from %
to 10 per cent. A few weeks ago the
planters throughout the Rice Belt
| were greatly distressed over the SEEM
ing certainty of bumper crop which
would knock the bottom out of prices.
The past two weeks have entirely
changed conditions, and it is now
practically assured that there will not
| be to exceed two-thirds to three
| fonrths of an average crop. This ex-
IRENE shortage is bound to produce a
compensating effect in the price. The
effect of the present drouth seems to
be to change bumper crop with a
glutted market to short crop, which
will bring good price, and leave
the market bare for another crop.

AN iMPROVEM ENT TAX.
Essential to every Progressive City.
Should carry by large Maj.
GRITTY IN Welsh.

At the last meeting of the Welsh
city council, call was issued for an
election to be held August I4th, to
vote on the proposition to levy five
mill tax for period of five wears.
upon the taxible property OF Welsh,
the proceeds of said tax to be used in
maintaining public roads, bridges
and for carrying on public improve
ments in theTown, of Welsh. This is
a measure that merits the hearty sup
port of every progressive citizen of
the city 1t means q continued growth
aud development of the public enter
prises of the city along the progress
i've lines that have already been laid
down. 1t is a principal we'll known
that community, be it great or small
cannot continue definite and extern
sive line of improvements without adef-
| mite source of revenue with which to
meet the necessary expences occas-
toned by such improvements. Welsh
is no exception to this rule, and a
public Improvement tax becomes
necessity if we are to continue the i'm
provements that are already under
way and put in operation new ones
that needs of the city demand. Welsh
has a large amount of roads to keep
up in ordes that the people of the sur
rounding community may reach our
city as protitably as they can neigh
boring ones. We have more bridges
to keep up than almost any other city
in this section of the state. Added to
this the city has been to largeexpense
during the past year in putting down
cement street crossings and aiding to
make our city, the city OF walks OF
which we are all justly proud. There
is yet quantity of walks to be put in
that will require public money. 1t will
also be necessary this fall to paint
the school building. which will be
an additional expense to the city.
These and other Improvements makes
q tax practical necessity and one that
every citizen should vote for at the
,or,i,,r olootinp
Now before you conclude that it is
too much of q burden and that you
can not afford to vote for such tax,
Just take your pencil and figure a
minute and see how much it is really
going to cost you and how much it is
sure to benefit you. In the first place
five mills on the dollar means only
fifty cents on every 500 that you are
assessed, The majority of the tax pay
ers of Welsh are not asses sed to ex-
coed $500, therefore the additional
amount of this Improvement tax will
amount to less than $3.50 for the av-
erage tax payer of the city. In other
words you are asked to contribute
less than one nickle per week in order
that these improvements may be main
tanned. If this tax is carried and you
contribute your little mite toward
helping maintain your city, every
nonresident property owner of the
city, whose property is being enhanced
in value by your contribution will be
compelled to contribute his proportion
of the funds requisite for the city's
impro vement. Let every one consider
himself a committee of one to see that
this measure has the support that it
deserves at the polls August 18th.

DIFFERS FROM LOEB
AS TO RUEF'S MIND
Prof. Stratton Says Thought
Can Not Be Explained by the
Laws of Chemical Action

BERKELEY, April Thought can
not be explained by the laws of chem
ical action was the declaration made
before the members of the philosoph-
ical union by George NJ. Stratton, pro-
fessor of psychology, while discussing
Mental Life in the Organism" Prof.
Jacques Loeb recently opposed these
views.
A large gathering of the faculty of
the university heard Professor STRAIT
ton expound his views, and he was
piled with many questions at the close
of his address.
In his address. in which he sought
to discover the exact relation between
mind and matter, he said that mental
life could not have its origin in un-
conscious fact and that modern psy-
chology was as subject to law any
physical object.
Professor Loeb, whose Investigations
to find the germ of life have been
famous, holds different view. and in 1T
he Is backed up by DIR. David Starr
Jordan, Prof T. Brailsford Robertson
of the university and others. In view
of the recent lecture on the subject
delivered from his standpoint. Pro
fessor Strattons lecture tonight was
significant, and disclosed possibilities
for the general meeting which the
union will hold for open discussion
May Z. when laws of life will ibe
evolved out of the addresses before
the union.
Professor Loeb holds to the theory
that sympathy, hatred and like emo
tions are the result OF chemical re-
action TO physical stimulus. In IL
lustrating his point involving technt-
cal science, Professor Loeb said that
Abe Ruef was chemically unbalanced,
and that accounted for his peculiar
actions.
Professor Stratton, however, throws
aside the chemical end of the contro-
versy and said that thought could not
be explained in- this manner
