WAREHOUSES CROWDED.

The cotton warehouses of Bryan are
perhaps crowded worse than ever be.
fore, unless it was during the fall OF
1906, when the unprecedented cotton
crop was made and Bryan received
10000 bales. Notwithstanding the fact
the cotton is being hauled to the COM
press just as fast as possible with
every team that can be pressed into
service, the warehouses are all full
and have been for some time and cot
ton is weighed in the streets. They are
weighing and storing in the most
available and convenient places they
can secure, and while this is the case,
every road leading into the city Is
lined with wagons bringing in more
cotton. With such heavy receipts here
and all over the cotton region, 1t would
be a physical impossibilty to main
tain high prices.

STEEP HOLLOW PEOPLE FAVOR
GOOD ROADS DISTRICT

Secretary Hewitt and Engineer Car.
son visited the Steep Hollow country
yesterday in their work of viewing out
possible changes In the lines Of the
proposed good roads district. They
met with cheerful welcome all along
the route and assurance of co-opera-
ton from everyone with whom they
talked.
They were urged by the property
owners of the Perry league to include
that league in the district. This would
take in all of the Steep Hollow terri
tory and would be of material benefit
to that progressive section of the
county.
The splendid improvements made in
the school and churches at Steep Hol-
low in the last year or two speaks
louder than words of the progressive
spirit of the people.
Messrs. Hewitt and Carson were de-
lighted with their visit.

The discussion of the reciprocity
treaty in Canada and the defeat of
that measure hinged not so much on
business considerations as on broad
national policy. Besides parading the
DOGGY of annexation, the conserva-
tives told the people the development
of Canada as commercially iDdepend-
ent nation would be arrested and her
British commercial relations weak
ened by closer association with the
United States. There is more unselfsh
patriotism in Canada than in this
country. The average American is
patriot chiefly for business reasons;
the average Canadians patriotism is
almost purely sentimental. The aver
age Canadian is almost as chivalrous
as the antebellum Southerner and
feels contempt for the commercialism
of the Yankee. This is the explanation
of their intense sympathy with the
Southern people in the war between
the states.

Seven New York boys belonging to
respectable families and with no bad
record as individuals were jailed for
rowdyism on subway train. The
trial developed that they were out for
a good time and depended on the in
iuence Of their friends to secure i'm
munity from the usual penalty for VIC
lating the law. They began early
claiming special privileges because of
influential connections, and it is per-
haps fortunate for them, and certainly
so for the public, that in their first
effort they came to grief.

stock of $4,000 and the organization

OF the Texas farmers and cooperative

sections of the state.
Our present system of road con-
struction Is inadequate and wasteful,
and therefore sinful. Each year we re-
peat the error of the year before in
the expenditure of money and labor
with no permanent good accomplished.
The amount of money practically
spent each year by methods now in
vogue would cause alarm in any prl-
vate or public business of like proper
lions, and would call for the most rad
ical reform, or for a petition in bank
ruptcy.
The special road law for Robertson
county, which was passed by the
called session of the Thirty-second
legislature, was signed by the gov
ernor on September 1 and goes into
effect on December 1. The bill was
written by the Calvert Business
League and carries provision allow
ing the election by the voters of |
special commission to disburse the |
amount raised by the sale of bonds
for good roads and the election of a
highway engineer. The business
league is to begin at once campaign
for the issuance of $15O,0O0 in bonds
for building fifty miles of shell road
in the country around Calvert. The
desirability of good roads needs no
extended advocacy in this day and
time. Their necessity is generally ac.
knowledged and the agitation of the
subject by the commercial clubs Of
the state will greatly promote to the
growth of all sections of
Texas.

and other leguminous crops, the

he would produce plenty of forage

would permanently improve his

Land that will produce fifteen or
twenty bushels of corn per acre will
produce one ton of COW pea hay
valued at $1,000 and will store two
or three dollars worth of nitrogen
in the soil. The soy bean will pro-
duce about as much hay, will store
somewhat more nitrogen in the soil
and will produce more seed. When
this hay is fed to live stock, eighty
per cent of its manurlal value may
be returned TO the soil.

some points of superiority over the
other. Both are excellent as forage
producers and soil renovators.
Our soils are ordinarily more
deficient in nitrogen than IN any
other plant food. Nitrogen in COM
mercial form costs more than any
other plant food, yet, there are ap-
proximately seventy five million
pounds of atmospheric nitrogen rest
ing above every acre of land, when
can be drawn upon if we grow leg
umes. Someone has said of the soy
bean and COW pea: "They not only
work for nothing and board them
