UP TO THE AVERAGE.

During the storm ending Tuesday
night. about twenty inches of snow
fell-making total fall of eighty
inches since the first day OF last
November. says the HALEY Times.
This is nearly up to the average
for the past ten years, but Is al
ready more than usually falls Ill
most years. In l90i-5 the total fall
was 80 inches: in l90S-9 il was 1873
inches: and in 1909-f0 it was So
inches.
Last year may be said to have
been half-dry; yet the crops We're
good. as is evinced by the present
price of hay, which is 50 a ton,
against $50 to s25 al this time last
year.
As the snow was preceded by fall
rains. and we have had some ram
curing the past two or three month
the ground is in favorable condition
and even should there be no heavy
snowfall from this on the moisture
that will be available for this years
crops will assure an abundant yield
unless extraordinary unfayorable
weather superVenes.
The snow that fell Tuesday be-
ing heavily charged with moisture
it will settle the older snow ana
doubt less cause avalanches- Dry
snow causes slides only.

DON'T BE SELFISH

From Hagerinan Valley sun;
ihere are just a few questions
that the sun would like to put to
the people of Hagerman and have
them given little serious thought.
1t is acknowledged that We have
one of the best valleys in this or
any other state. We have ali the
natural advantages that go to make
a prosperous community and we are
prosperous. TO a certain extent, but
we are not getting the benefits that
we are entitled to. Why is this?
II is because the people of Hager-
man and the valley are all pulling
in opposite directions. If they Will
get together and work together
there is no limit to the things that
can be accomplished. But just so
long as the petty jealousies exist,
let us be truthful, and they do exist
lust so long Will We be held back
from the good things that we could
have if we would all pull in the
same direction. suppose some Othef
fellow is agitating something that
we all know will be benefit to the
town and from which he expects to
make some money. Is there any
reason WHY we should dig in and
try to Stop him Just because We are
not in with the play? If it i
good thing for him it will be a good
thing for us and if he makes money
and is prosperous. We will all get
more or less benefit, but if We turn
to and try to stop the deal. no one
viii get any benefit. If We are 60
ing to make prosperous town ana
community. we have got to get to
gether and work together and with
one end in view, and while few
~ the favored ones are making good
money. We will all be getting our
share of the general prosperity.

THE COTTON CROP
Suffers from Rank Growth OF Stalk
and Weevil - Shedding - Extreme
Heat i'm Oklahoma and Texas.

In its weekly cotton review the
Commercial Appeal of August "a
says; The decline in the condition oil
the cotton plant, which set in sew
eral weeks ago, has been checked III
the two Carolinas, Georgia apd Ala
bama, or has ceased altogether by
easOn of more favorable weather,
having fallen in the CarOlinaS, and
dry weather supervened in the two
latter states. Cotton is early III the
Atlantic states, and without more
rain will now ope nrapidly. A fair
crop is assured, and large one
seems possibility despite the de-
terioration that has been suffered.
In Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas
and Louisiana excessive rainfall has
continued during the week, and
some of the reports take very
gloomy view of the outlook. The
chief damage has resulted from
shedding of young forms by reason
of the rank growth of the stalk, and
from boil weevil in the southern
part of the Mississippi valley terri
tory. 1t is evident, however, that
bright weather would vastly reduce
present estimates of damage.
In Oklahoma and Texas a period
of extreme heat, accompanied by a
burning sun and hot winds, caused a
quick setback to cotton, which had
but lately taken on fresh growth
from rain. The plant was being
forced to an early maturity, but rain
toward the close of the week put an
end to the condition, and hold out
a promise Of better returns next
week. AS most correspondents state,
there is yet time to derive benefit
from the rains.
Cotton is moving very freely to
carket where any picking is being
done.

THE LOUISIANA CONTEST
Representative RanSdell Has Become
a Prominent National Figure.

Washington Post: From the Ar
kansas line to the Gulf, and from the
Pearl to the Sabine, Louisiana is in
a mighty ferment over the struggles
of statesmen to secure senatorial
nominations at the primaries next
January. Governor Sanders and
Representatives Broussard and Pujo
are campaigning for the seat now
held by Senator Thornton, while
Senator Foster and Representative
Joseph E. Ransdell are beating the
bushes throughout the length and
breadth of the old Pelican Stat for
votes. the one to succeed himself
and the other to defeat him.
All the candidates for the Senate,
with the single exception of Mr..
Ransdell, are South Louisiana men,
and he is making his fight for the
Foster seat on the assumption that
North Louisiana is entitled to one of
the places in the upper branch of
Congress, and that he has fairly
earned the promotion by faithful
service. Representative Ransdell, by
reason of his membership on the
rivers and harbors committee of the
House and as president of the Ma
tional Rivers and Harbors Congress,
abs become a prominent national
figure, one of the most conspicuous
leaders in teh great movement to fa-
cilitate and cheaper transportation
by means of improved waterways.
They are active, strong men, these
Louisianians, and they have some
thing to fight for. The contest will
Ee watched with great interest, even
from this distance.
