Cotton in De Soto.

We had occasion last year to
the results obtained by progress
sive farmers living in De Soto pa
IRISH in the way of growing cotton
and diversifying products, it being
stated at the time that De Soto
was one of the first parishes in the
State invaded by the boil weevil.
We are glad to note that De Soto
has had another successful crop
year and that with respect to grow
ing cotton especially the boil wee
vii has been outwitted again.
In it's issue of last Wednesday
the Mansfield Enterprise publish
cd reports from cotton growers at
various points IN DE Soto, noting
that "where the instructions of the
Government demonstration agent
were strictly followed" the most
gratifying results were obtained.
Following are some of the citizens
quoted by the Enterprise
Mr.. H. c. Clark, of Logansport.
says: II have made each year not
less than 1000 pounds to the acre.
My land is sandy hill soil, and 30
years in cultivation"
j. w. Bailey, also of Logans-
port, says IL have made the best
all round crop | ever made in my
life, l made seven bales on ten
acres"
MIR. Henry Marshall, of Stone
wall, says: 81 have never made
less than half bale per acre. Am
getting 1000 pounds per acre this
year in spite of the weevill."
Mr.. W. s. Powell, also of Stone
wall, says: Il have never made
less than 1000 pounds per acre
since the boil weevil struck this
country"
Mr.. Cowdsn, of Grand Cane, re-
ports fifteen heavy bales Oh twen-
ty-four acres.
1t will be seen from the forego-
ing that the boil wssvil invasion
didn't put DeSoto out of business
as cotton-producing parish, even
though the pests did turn the at
tention of farmers to raising hogs
and growing peanuts, potatoes,
corn and hay. And while it is
we'll not to lose sight of the im-
portance Of diversification at least
to the extent of producing enough
in the way of corn and food for
home consumption, there is no
reason why the growing of cotton
should be abandoned. There is
money in cotton at present prices,
when by intelligent methods and
careful attention, a farmer pro-
duces cotton at the rate of 1000
pounds to the acre, or seven bales
on ten acres or fifteen bales on
twenty acres. Much of value to
the cotton growers of the State is
to be learned from the experience
Of these DeSoto farmers. Shreye.

Last evening / was talking

Who told me Of a dream be had,

While shooting in his Office,

And put on your golden crown.

And worked hard night and day

And from few received your pay.
So We want you up in glory,
For you have labored hard,
And the good Lord Is preparing

Then the angel and the grocer
Started up towards glory's gate,
But when passing close 70 hades,
The angel murmnred s'waiti

Where the one who never paid you

And, behold, the grocer saw there
His old customers by the score.
Aud grabbing up q chair and fan,
He wished for nothing more;
But was bound 70 sit and watch them
As they'd ~sizzle. SINCE and burn,
And his eyes would rest on debtors,
Whichever way they d turn.
