odOre Roosevelt reached his office, pre-
pared for an all day discussion on the

over from Washington because OF a
misunderstanding
1t had been said that he was disap-
pointed when Mr.. Roosevelt stated that
he favored the selection Of senator
Dixon, of Montana, as the national
manager for the movement. Mr.. Nc
Cormick said he was a good soldier In
the Roosevelt fight, and made it clear
that he had not insisted on being placed
in entire charge.
For 10 days I have done everything
possible TO induce senator Dixon to IN
dertake direction of the campaign for
Mr. ROOsevelts nomination. Other
friends of Mr. Roosevelt have seen SEN
atOr Dixon for the same purpose and
hope that he may decide to undertake
the work, although it means a very
great sacrifice for him. The statement
that I was put out is siugularly silly"

PROSPECTS FAVOR
GOOD TEXAS CROPS
Increased Acreage in Cotton
and BrOOmcorn Is
Promised.

Austin. Texas Feb. 29.-ProspectS
for a good crop season, particularly
as to cotton all over Texas. have been
materially frightened during the last
few days by splendid rains. While 1t
was already considered there was a
good season IN the ground the later
precipitation Of moisture, It IS claimed
practically assures the making OF the
cotton crop. 1t is a dry weather plant
and does not require much moisture II
the ground is in good condition when
the seed is planted
Cotton planting is already in pro-
gress In the more southern parts OF
south Texas Judging from the acre
age Of land that has been prepared
for planting there viii be no decrease
IN the cotton growing area Of Texas
this season. On the contrary there
promises to be an increase OF perhaps
10 TO Is percent. which IS the same
practically as that OF last year. This
increased acreage viii come chiefly
from the development OF ranch lanGs
that have heretofore not been in cul-
tivation- In only q few counties have
the farmers responded to the agita-
ton for decreasing their cotton acre
age. It is nOtiCesble that more atten-
tion IS being given this season 10
careful selection Of seed than here
tOfore-
There is also promised better Guilt
walton methods Of the crop These
two material factors in bringing about
p
grade of the staple are the result OF
Scientific instruction that has been
given farmers by trained experts in
that branch OF agriculture. In the
lower Rio Grande valley and other
parts Of the gulf coast region cOnsid-
cradle long staple cotton will be
planted this season. Experiments with
this variety Of cotton last season IN
several localities OF the state proved
highly successful. Il is claimed. It's
marked value is about double that Of
the shorter staple and the prOdUc-
tion per acre is equal to. II not larger
than. the lower priced variety.
Most OF the corn has been planted
in southern and central Texas, and
considerable acreage is already up and
doing nicely.
Broom corn is a comparatively new
crop for Texas and the success which
the growers had with the brush during
the last two or three years has slim
ulated the industry very much The
acreage of this crop in the Panhandle
section as well as in several local.
ties Of south Texas will be several
times that OF last year.

Artesia, n. NJ. Feb 29.-PrOspects
are very bright for another bumper
fruit crop in the Pecos valley This
is the first February for a series of
years that no blooms have appeared
on the fruit trees. While there have
been many warm days the nights have
been sufficiently cool to retard vege-
tation. Few frosts occur in March
and those VIII be taken are of with
smudge pots.
Hay buyers predict an alfalfa famine
in the Pecos valley this spring, as
nearly all the hay has been con-
tracted for shipment The, high price
of alfalfa induced many farmers to
sell early with the result that nearly
all the hay has been shipped out of
the country and 1T would not be sur
prising to see hay coming in from
outside points before the first crop is
harvested the latter part of April. Pea
green alfalfa is now selling for s145O
