BRIEF MENTION OF OTHER INTERESTING REPORTS

We hope much from the boys who
the old men can do just as we'll Is
shown by the report of Mr.. II. p.
Dotson. OF Alderman. Miss. who
made 462 pounds OF lint cotton on one
acre, doing all the work himself. and
not having more than two-thirds OF
a stand. The variety was Triumph.
Other good cotton crops are report
ed by Mr.. ]. T. Beach. OF Koseinsko,
Miss; Mr.. l.. II. Gregg. Paris. Texas:
Mr.. VIM. IL Caine, Little Springs,
Miss; Mr. o l.. Kennedy, Guntown,
Miss. and Mr.. w. c. Stallings, Tyler.
Texas.
Mr.. Stallings says:
Il am fully convinced that a very
large per cent OF the failures to make
cotton are caused by planting poor
seed on poorly prepared soil, and
then going TO the shade at the time
the cotton most needs help to make
the fruit. Cotton should be plowed
often. but shallow. during the fruit
Ing season. Even If the ground Is
very dry. keep the sweeps or harrow
going. thereby keeping a dust mulch.
which will conserve the moisture and
keep the cotton growing and fruit

Another Texas friend, Mr. Geo. T.
Smith. OF Plttsburg. tells Of an acre
OF corn making GA bushels. and OF a
neighbor, Mr.. ID. ID. Pilgrim, who
sold from acres OF cotton $403.5S
worth OF lint and seed.
Our last report Is from j. G. Chat
fin, Nettleton. Miss, and here Is what
he says:

acre, was put down deep in the wa
ter furrow, covered we'll and a row of
peas planted between the rows of
corn. The crust was kept broken I'M
til the corn was tasseling, and when
other corn was whiting and drying
up to the shoot, this twenty-acre field
of corn was green and growing The
result was rs bushels of corn to the
acre and fine crop of peas, while
the average crop Of the neighborhood
was less than Is bushels to the acre
and peas almost failure"
We might comment on this, but it
scarcely seems necessary. What SEN
ator McGehee did, other farmers can
do.
Another inspiring report from Ar
kansas is one of an eight-acre corn
field that yielded 720 bushels This
report was sent in by Mr. J. J. Moore,
OF Hope. Ark. This field of corn had
eleven civilizations; but three of
these were with the harrow. Eleven
civilizations do not mean so much
labor when eight acres are gone over
in one day. as was the rule with this
crop

the average yield on similar land was
only IL bushels.
When these demonstration men
get to demonstrating on their
whole farms. as many Of them should
do this year. something is going to
happen in the South
Mr.. VIM. T. Waldrop, of Randolph,
Ala, says: There was any number
Of my demonstrators who made from
40 to 20 bushels to the acre, and
farmers are getting their eyes open
TO the possibilities of this country"
Here are a few of the reports made
to Mr.. Waldrop:

with such an organization, boosting
the section it would be put into the
limelight The Herald wants to see
the movement succeed.-Palestine
Herald.
Editor Lindsey's efforts are to be
commended. East Texas, by reason
of being largely a timbered section
held by multitude of individuals and
given an undeservedly bad name, is
different from the vast pastures of
West Texas now being cut into farms.
Therefore East Texas requires the
efforts of more individuals to bring
it to the front, and it is to the indi-
viduals that the editors have to ap-
peal. Owners of large areas must
know that their land will not increase
in value unless they do something to
aid in the development of the whole
country A united effort in this direc-
ton by all who expect to realize
profits from land directly or indirectly
are vitality interested, whether or not
they realize it is necessary.-Marshall
Messenger.

EVERY MANS DUTY.

1t is an old saying that a clock may
keep perfect time without hands, but
no one can tell the time from it be-
cause of the absence of the hands.
And SO it is with many good citizens
of any community. A man may have
many virtues and be truly good man,
but his influence is worth little in
the community sense unless he let's
his lights shine for those around him.
The full measure of good citizenship
is, first in being good personally; in
exercising those virtues that con-
tribute to healthy, normal and moral
community life, and, second, in doing
the community work. taking an inter-
est in the community's welfare and
helping to promote the public good
A negative character, even though
good within itself, helps little, except
by example, in the building of con-
ditions. A man may have all of the
virtues of good citizenship and yet
exercise none of them for the public
good, and his life is worth little to
his community. A man to truly help
his community should respect its laws,
its rules, and then throw his person
atty into helping other people to
measure up to such standards A man
may stand for civic beauty, but his
professions are worth little; but when
he begins to build and design his
ideas into realities. then people know
he has ideas and does things. A man
may be religious. but unless his re-
ligion takes hold of people and helps
10 lift them up and helps in the task
of bearing his less fortunate brothers
burden, people will not know for sure
that he Is really religious A man
may be loyal to his country and to his
town, but unless he uses his loyalty
in helping to elevate the politics and
control of his country. people will not
know that he is really loyal. In short,
man is judged largely by his actions
and not by his professions. A man
may claim to be many things, but his
everyday life will stamp him for
what he really is. And however
humble mans sphere is in life he
always exercises some influence for
good or bad. It may not reach beyond
the limits of his own home but it
should be good. 1t is not enough to
profess goodness II is only enough
when you have done your best for
those and those things around you.

The Herald believes it is justified
in making the assertion that Palestine
is a better town today than at any
time in its past history The business
people bear us out in this opinion, be-
cause almost all of them say their
business is better than ever before.
There are two things yet necessary,
however, to guarantee the kind of per-
manent prosperity the town must
have. One is the settling of the coun-
ty lands with good. progressive peo-
pie, who will get profits from their
acres. And the other is kindred
matter. that must lead or follow the
first-good roads and easy ways of
getting to market When the county

that we have an ingrowing feeling
