Fort Worth, Texas.-Becarse of the
ultimatum delivered by the railroads, in
which they threatened to increase the
rates on shipments to outside state
points if the Texas Farmers Union in
sisted on lower cotton rates to gull
points, the union agreed to abandon the
campaign. Texas sold 100000 worth
of cotton seed in Tennessee and other
states last year.

Unique Manner

1t is . highly gratifying indication
for the development of Louisiana that
a concerted action is being inaugura-
ted to advertise its resources and dis
play the varied products Of its UNI
riyalled fertility Of soil. says the
Louisiana State Farmer. This is being
manifested ia the action of its COM
mercial bodies, directors Of expert
ment stations, the cooperation Of its
great railroad links and the move
ment being ~inaugurated by the Louis
lana Farm Lands Congress, as well as
the ready responses Of the agricul-
turalists to ably assist the movements.
The latest movement in this direction
has been started BY Or. ". R. Dodsolf

Southern Pacific Railroad, arrange
ments were undertaken for the run
ming Of the first demonstration train
in Louisiana. This train will 30 over
the Southern Pacific lines in Louisiana,
and will be unique. It will be made up
not only ofLouisiana products from the
soil, but Of poultry and live stock, up
to-date machinery and hogs, which
will be shown to the farmers of every
community On the Southern Pacific
lines. The experiment station of the
university, under the direction Of DR.,
Dodson, will furnish the lecturers
and the exhibits and the Southern
Pacific will furnish and operate the
train. The demonstration train IS
the best method Of reaching the
farmers said Dr. Dodson, and we are
very glad indeed to join the Southern
Pacific in this movement. We will
have on the train improved machinery
for cultivating the soils. The points
of this machinery will be explained
and will be demonstrated in the fields
when possible. We viii have along a
couple Of COWS, say a mich COW and .
COW for beef. DR.. Dalyrmple will ex-
plain the points about 4 COW that she

From Louisiana Truck and Farmer.

From Louisiana Truck and Farmer.
One of the most successful truck
growers of the State is Mr.. G. A. Tie
bout, Of Roseland, whose son, Prof.
G.. Z. Tiebout, Is the horticulburist at
the State University and Experiment
Station at Baton Rouge. Therefore
what Mr.. Tiebout says relative to
truck growing may be considered as
based on experience as well as prac-
tical science. In a talk before the
State Horticultural Society Mr.. Tie
bout said, among other things:
Diversity your crop. Don't try
to make a fortune out Of a single
vegetable. If you do, you are going
to fail. For the past few years the
planter has been constantly preached
to on the subject of diversifying his
crop. IL 1t is important for the cot
ton planter, the sugar planter or the
rice grower to turn his attention to
other things that may be grown on
his soil, how much more important it
is for the truck grower to diversity
his crop. Take, for instance, the
man who believes in radishes-and
nothing else. If the radishes fail him,
or if radishes are a drug on the mar
ket that season, his year is a failure.
The man who succeeds is the man
who diversifes his crop.
Don't be afraid Of getting in too
many kinds. Put in ten or twelve
kinds of truck. All Of them will
never be a failure the same year. 1t
is very rare that more than two kinds
of vegetables are a failure in a single
year. Fifteen years ago | knew moth
ing about the truck business. But I
had the land, and | made beginning,
and after the first two years / COM
menced to diversity my crop. and for
about thirteen years I have not had
one single loss year. | have never
had to give a truck note;' | have
never had to beg indulgence for
another year.
There are two ways to lose money
ID truck growing; one is n~on-produc-
ton. and the other is over-productien.
One is just about at bad as the other.
If there is any difference, over-pro-
duction is the worse. En- both cases
you are pretty apt to be safe if.you
have diversity Of crops, for, just as
there is not likely to be a complete
failure of more than two kinds Of
truck in a single year, neither will
there be over-production Of more
than two kinds-searcely ever more
than one, so that if you lose on one,
you break even on another, and make
money on two Or three more, which
you will do if you have them, you will
come out ahead.
One year ! had ten different crops.
and every one made money. Two
years ago was a bad year, and that
year, in returns from fifteen acres,
my receipts were $1,000 better than
the year before. And other truck
ers, depending on one crop, wondered
why. You can not convince them,
you a not beat it into them that
one cause Of their failure is because
they do not diversity because they
pin their faith to one crop. They
think they fail because it is just their
luck or say something about Provi-
dence not being on their side.
In line with Investigation comes
adaptation. Yon must find the truck
Or vegetable suited to your ground.
Where | live in the piney woods. the
soil is as poor as any you can find on

TattIers.
''0h! could there in this world be
found
Some little spot of happy ground,
Where village pleasures might go
round,
Without the village tattling!
How doubly bIest that spot would be.
Where all might dwell in liberty,
Free from bitter misery
OF gossip's endless prsttlingF!
Every community is cursed by a
class of people who make it their
business to attend to eYerybody's
business but their own. Such peo-
pie are the meanest specimens Of de-
PRAYED humanity which an allwise
Providence permits to exist on this
green earth. It is well known that
almost every person is sometimes dis
posed to speak evil Of others; and
tattling is d sin from which very few
can claim to be entirely exempt. But
the object Of this article is to call
attention to that distinct class of
tattlers who make tale bearing the
constant business of their lives.
Fortunately we have but few such in
this community, but no community is
entirely free from them. They prY.
into the private affairs of every fam
lily in the neighborhood, they know
the exact state Of one neighbor's
feelings towards another; they I'M
derstand everybody'a faults, and no
little blunder or misdemeanor ever
escapes their vigilant Watehfulneas.
They are particularly well posted on
everything connected with eourtship
and matrimony: know who are going
to marry and can guess the exact
time when the golden knot will be
tied They watch every moment Of
parties suspected of matrimonial in
tentions to create a disturbance, ex-
cite jealousy, or break" up match,
they take immediate advantage Of it
and do all in their power to keep
people in a constant state Of yexa-
ton. They glide quietly from gem
tie aen to lady, from mother to
daughter, from father to son. and in
the ears Of all they pour their dark,
bitter whispering Of SANDER and
abuse, and al the same time pretend
to be the most sincere friend Of
those they talk to. Their black ard
%nauseous pills Of malicious SANDER
are sugar-coated with smiles and
honeyed words Of friendship.
Tattlers are confined TO no par
tieular class Of society. They belong
to all classes and operate in all.
We find them among the rich and
the poor upper ten" and The flower
million" in the church and out Of it.
They are people who have no higher
ambition than to be well informed
in regard to other peoples pri-
yate business, to retail scandal to
their neighbors, and exllt in fendish
triumph over the wounded feelings
and bruised hearts Of their innocent
victims. Our contempt for such
graceless creatures knows no bounds,
and We a find no words IN which to.
express its infamy. What punish
ment they deserve we cannot know;
but God knows, and as sure as His
eternal justice reigns, they will re-
ceiye . retribution proportional to.
the magnitude Of their ofenses
against the laws Of God and interests
Of humanity.

side.
What followed from the bite?
The serpent died"

poor, It is not all Of the same kind Of
p~oorness. You must study your soil,
and study the plant best suited to
such soil. / have some fine land for
radishes that ! can not raise beans
on, and some of my best cabbage
ground | can not get a cucumber to
grow on.
The only thing to do is to keep
on experimenting and studying, and
when you find what your land will
grow, then grow that on it. But do
not think that because a certain piece
of ground grew fine tomatoes this
year that it will grow just as fine
next year. In many kinds Of soil it
is necessary to change your plant
every year. or alternate it. For cab
bage you want rich soil. tt can not
be TOO rich, or too deep. Some Of
ny cabbage ground has a soil ten
inches deep.
You also want to know the proper
kind Of fertilizer to use.'
I mix my own fertilizer, because
| get better results in this way. You
buy an already mixed fertilizer and
you get such and such a proportion
of the different chemicals. Some
times it is what you Want-but gene
rally it is not. find out what my
soil needs by experiment. If this
year I have used too much
nitrogen then next year | decrease
the proportion Of nitrogen and in
crease that Of ~phosphoric acid or
potash. use according to my crop,
too.
Cabbage and c~aulifoWer can not
have too much fertilizer, if it is Of
the right kind and correctly applied.
Two thousand pounds TO the acre is
not at all too much. You always get
back 500 for every $40 you spend
for fertilizer for these vegetables. I
have discovered that I can get back
$3.50 an acre from cabbage grown on
ground that cost me SIG an acre,
simply because ! use plenty Of fertil-
izer. and give my plants the proper
attention.
These plants should have so much
rich soil about them that all they will
have to do will be just to grow.
Don't make it necessary for them to
look for their food. Have it there,
all around them, so that whatever di-
rection they put forth a rootlet it
will have rich ground to feed on.
Sandy soil requires a good deal Of
heterogeneous fertilization.
You can fertilize as heavily as
you like, remember, only when you
have plenty of water. OF course
sandy soil requires more water than
clay. This great need of sufficient
water for the plants led me to put
down a well that cost S1,100, and it
has paid for itself twice each year.
Plenty Of water for your plants is a
better way to provide for your family
than taking out a life insurance pol
icy in the Equitable. 1t is better,
too, to do your own irrigating, and
not depend upon the rains.
Too much water is worse than not
enough, For myself, personally, I
prefer what is called a dry year. be-
cause then can give my plants just
the necessary amount Of water, and |
have the assurance that I shall not
suffer from over production on the
part of the trucker who depends upon
nature to do all his irrigating for
him. This sort of trucker must, in
evitably, fail to produce good crops
on a dry year, and the man who does
his own irrigating gets, accordingly,
