new CROP OF COTTON
COMES FROM ROOTS
Experiment of Farmer Was
Great Success

Moultrie, Ca, June 16.-Judge T. H.
Parker, ordinary of this county, in
addition to being a good lawyer and
politician, is a farmer Early last fall
he decided he would experiment in
preserving cotton roots by throw
ing a layer of sand upon them, and
when danger OF killing frosts had pass
ed this spring breaking the dirt
away.
The result has been that he will reap
rich harvest and prove that the
experiment, is a success.
Today he was exhibiting a stalk of
this cotton to a gathering of farmers
and it clearly slows where the old
stalk died last fall, around this dead
portion sprouts to the number of five
or six appearing with an exceedingly
healthy growth. The plant has nine
ty-six we'll developed bolls, squares
and blooms and doubtless had it been
left to grow and mature would have
added a great deal more fruit.
Judge Parker says that three
fourths of the plants preserved from
last year sprouted and his field looks
fine.

A FUNNY LETTER. 1

(Fort Worth Telegram.)

(Fort Worth Telegram.)
She wrote a letter to her cousin Nan
A letter to surprise her.
Confided she'd be married soon,
And closed, Your fond Eliza
But in between the first and last,
She wrote a lot of news
About her lovely lingerie
And the dozen pairs of shoes.
She told about her wedding veil,
The flowers that she'd wear,
The perfect pongee travelling suit
And coat that matched her hair
A page or two was taken up
With styles and fabrics new.
She told of morning gowns and caps
And evening cloaks of blue.
And then she started in to tell
About the wedding day,
About the flowers, and march ant
maids
And who would sing and play.
She wrote a letter to her cousin Nan
And this is what occurred:
About the man, or who he was,
She didn't say word!
