The Weather and the CrOps,

New Orleans Picayune March II:
The past week has witnessed rather
too much rain in most parts of the
cotton belt. Towards the clase o.
The week quite a storm passed over
considerable stretch of country.
While the rain has no doubt delayed
farm work in some localities, the
general verdict is that preparations
for the crop are we'll advanced and
that in the more sOutherly parts Of
the belt planting is already we'll un-
der way. Even where delays have
been experienced owing to the
weather there is yet plenty of time
to plant, as in far the greater part
of the belt planting is not well under
way until April. As the wet spell has
been followed by cold and dry
weather, it is likel ythat work in the
fields will be renewed with vigOr.
Advices from Texas indicate that
everything is progressing in a most
promising manner in that State.
Where planting is in progress a con-
siderably increased acreage is being
put in and the preparations making
elsewhere indicate that the Lone
Star State will report a good in
crease in cotton area for the State
as whole. In Louisiana and Missis-
sippi, where the boil weevils have
done SO much damage in recent
years, acreage is to be materially in
creased, as farmers have learned
that by planting early and quick
growing varieties they can circum-
vent the Weevil
Corn is being planted quite gener-
ally and it is generally understood
that an increased acreage will be
put in the ground.

BODY OF WOMAN
Kokomo, Ind, Sept. 27.-The body
of Mrs. Anna Wilkinson, %, buried
alive in hastily dug grave on Clyde
Wilkinson's farm near here, was I'M
earthed today. The head had been
battered in.
Wilkinson, who had, disappeared
several days ago, was arrested in
Logansport and confessed that he
killed his wife and believed she still
lived when he crowded the body into
hole he had dug which was too
short and forced him to bend her
knees to get her in.
Domestic trouble had caused Mrs.
Wilkinson to leave her home, and
Wilkinson lured her back on the pre-
tense that the youngest of their two
boys was sick. The woman was sus-
picious and appealed for police pro-
lection, but as the farm is out in the
country, an officer was not sent with
her.
When she found the child was not
sick, she refused Wilkinson's appeal
to live with him, according to his
confession, and he knocked her down
and kicked her several times in the
head. Fearing he had killed her, he
resolved to bury her and hide all evil
dence of the crime. Then he sold his
possessions at auction, told the chill
dren their mother had gone away for
good, and disappeared.

LIKE THOSE AGAINST BIxBY
Los Angeles, CAL, Sept. 27.-Rep-
resentatives of number of juvenile
courts who have been taking extern
sive notes of the testimony have led
to the belief that the trial of Million
aire Bixby, charged with contributing
to the delinquency of minors, will be
made the basis of agitation to in
crease the power of juvenile judges.
Mrs. Harriet Roberts, Chicago, who
said she represents Judge Lindsey,
expects to make a complete report to
Lindsey, who will attempt to remodel
the Colorado juvenile court laws to
prevent such things as have been
charged against Bixby.
The ruling of Judge Bledsoe that
the state cannot impeach Bixby's tes-
timony that his relations with the
young girls at the Jonquil resort were
proper, by bringing girls to testify to
deny this statement, was sweeping
victory for the defense.
MAN HELD FOR SHOOTING WIFE
Guide Rock, Neb., Sept. 27.-An-

Ion had told her husband she had
decided to leave him., after numerous
quarrels, and a division of their prop
erty was being discussed when Dillon
seized his gun and began firing. They
have four children.

Suppose that the members of the association SO

for the volaors that the Ministers Association should
publicly announce, through their attorneys that after
