Visits Farm Lands

JACKSONVILLE.-A the promi-
nent guests at the Seminole hotel is Mr..
w. c. Guels, general manager of the
Continental Commercial company, of St
Louis, Mo.
This company owns and operates one
of the largest grape vineyards in the
United States, situated in the Sacra-
mento valley, near Gault, Cal, as well
as immense sugar plantations and rub
Der concessions in Mexico.
Mr.. Guels, who has for the past 10
years been actively engaged in the man.
aRement of the Mexican interests, is In
Florida on a prospecting tour with the
view of acquiring agricultural proper
ties IN this state.
When seen, Mr.. Guels said: II am
delighted with Florida, and especially
with Jacksonville The natural fertili-
ty of the land on the east coast, togeth-
er with the salubrious climate and intel
ligent. progressive people have given me
an agreeable surprise"
Upon being questioned as to the par
ticular significance Of his stay in Jack
sonvflIe, he replied that his company
would certainly locate offices here In
the near future. and that while he was
not vet in a position to give out any
definite information as to the nature OR
extent of the contemplated operations
vet he felt safe to say that the large
development plans which are now on
foot will mature before long.

cents. The shortage has been growing
more acute during the past two weeks.
but the merchants have been hoping that
the Brownsville country would be abs
to relieve the situation to some extent.
but the short crop In that section has
been drawn on so heavily that 1t is now
about depleted.
Produce men are securing the country
In an effort to secure some large solid
stock, but It appears that their efforts
are fruitless There is plenty Of inferior
stock. but this class of goods finds no
market In Houston.
About the only hope that is seen now
II that the crop in north Texas will be
rood but it will not have matured for
about two months yet. If II falls to sup
pfy the demand, which Is exceedingly
heavy, a wait of another month for tie
California crop is the only thing thai
remains. X.
In referring to the shortage one OF the
old established merchants said yesrter-
day: TT is not generally known that the
people Of Houston eat carload Of onions
almost every day, but It is a fact that
they do There are 200 sacks to a car.
When the supply falls, as 1t has done
now, there is trouble ahead for the COM
mission men. Not only is the consump-
ton of onions on the increase, but the
consumption of food in general will
easily run from 10 to 20 per cent higher
this year than 1t ever has before In
Houston"

Rains HeIp Rice

GUEYDAN-The rice plantaters are
happy in this section on account Of the
heavy rains which have flooded the crops.
The rainfall has been very heavy, almost
reaching the flood stage. In two hours
yesterday morning SIS inches of water
fell. Some of the lower streets of tho
town were under water for a few hours.
During the thunder storm yesterday
morning the residence of George Hun
gerford, three miles south of town, was
struck by lightning, the flue destroyed
and a PARTON was split into kindlin2
wood. The family was asleep at the
time. One Of the little children was
covered with debris, but uninjured.
The Farmers Private Telephone COM
spany is rapidly growing, and now has
Zines all over this section, having over
Is telephones in operation AMI covering
a distance of about % miles. The system
is owned by the subscribers and every
pc tron is a stockholder. Instead of pay
ing dividends the revenue is used in cut
ing down the monthly rental of the boxes,
each subscribe thereby getting the bene-
fit of the earnings of the company. 1t
has proved a valuable asset to the farm
ers, and is helping wonderfully to de-
velop the country and bring the farmer
nearer to the town and outside world.

Mexican Crop Acreage

CHARLOTTE.-Cotton men are inter-
ested I'm the cotton wherever 1t grows
The staple is king in the matter Of
agricultural interest. The following item
en- the Mexican cotton crop was noted
today in the weekly consular trade report
seen in the cotton office of Messrs. John
and Ralph Van Landingham:
THE present seasons yield Of cotton
in Mexico is expected to surpass all pre-
vious records. Dispatches to Mexico
City from Torreon state:
Experts who have carefully gone
over the cotton acreage of the La
guna district place this seasons Yield
at 100000 bales (of about 800 pounds
each). which equal 100000 quintals. The
heavy crop. they say. is due to large
acreage and splendid conditions. Even
low the estimates now placed on the crop.
the total value of the cotton raised In
the Laguna district this season should
approximate $17,5O0,0O0 gold, to which
may be added another $4,000 900 for cotton
seed"
THE Laguna district produces 50 to 80
per cent of the cotton crop of Mexico.
The total crop of the entire country was
only 1900 bales in 1918 and about the
same amount in 1868, against 10000 bales
in 1867, the largest yield up to that
time"

Rural School Money

MONTGOMERY.-In accordance with
the conditions of the rural school
house law of Alabama, S90,114.66 is
available and due rural school house
accounts of the 81 counties of the state.
The largest amount due any county 1s
s3,43S.27, due Mobile county. and the
balance of the accounts range from
s63.27 up. Five counties, Clay, &C.
neva, Marion, Marshall and Randolph,
have nothing due them.
The rural school house law by which
the state may aid the various counties
in repairing and erecting rural school
houses, went into effect March 2, 1907.
In order to secure funds from the state
for this purpose, IL is necessary to
raise locally at least 800, and the
state may give that amount or any
amount up to $500. The minimum
amount that the local authorities may
raise is 500, and the maximum amount
that the state may donate is 5000.
According to the rural school house
law, not a cent from the rural school
house fund can be spent in an incor-
porated city, town or village. A fee
simple deed to at least two acres or
land must be made to the state OF Ala
bama- in cases where a school house is
to be erected, and a fee simple deed
must be made to the property on which
a school mousse Is " NC IePdli0u' UuI
less than two acres of land may be
decided, where a school house is to be
repaired. II the school house is to De
erected, all plans and specifications
must be approved by the department
Of education.
The rural school house fund comes
from the tag tax, and under the Law
$1,000 is appropriated every year to
each of the counties of the state. Since
the law went into effect in March, 1907,
s233,7140y have been placed to the
credit of the various counties OF the
state, and the state has donated In ac-
cordance with the rural school house
law to the several counties OF the
state, s143,599.4S up to July /, 1910.
This means that more than $450,OOO
have been expended in either the re-
pairing or erecting OF sos rural school
houses in Alabama since March, 1907.
