Neel, Wallace and Wicker put this
guest under special obligation by
favors rendered.
The church is located about half
way between Newberry and Prosper

and on a broad thoroughfare. An
automobile is hardly out Of sight at
any time This mission ought to
succeed. 1t has an enthusiastic young
pastor and people.
We enjoyed the meeting Of the
Sabbath school on Sabbath. On in

THE SPLIT LOG DRAG.

A practical demonstration of the et-
ficiency of the split log drag has been
made by Mr.. R. NJ. Richardson on the
clay hill extending from Willow Lake
to his residence, about mile east of
town. We had heard several COM
ments on this hill, but last Saturday
afternoon gave it personal inspec-
ton and found it, compared with other
like roads leading out from Hender-
son, as smooth as glass. In dragging
this piece of road we understand Mr.
Richardson used a homemade drag,
built at very slight expense, and
the success he has had with the drag
should encourage others to follow his
example. We understand Mr.. ]. p.
Grim, who lives six miles northwest
of town on the Overton road, has also
had splendid success with home
made split log drag on the mile Of
road leading by his farm. From the
demonstrations made by these two
progressive farmers, it is self evident
that II others would follow their ey-
ample a decided improvement in our
public roads would soon be noticeable.
-Rusk County News.
This is the experience OF all who
have tried split log drag or any other
kind OF practical road drag. The fact
has been published thousand times,
giving the experience of men whose
word cannot be doubted, yet it is the
hardest thing in the world to get those
responsible for the upkeep Of the
roads, that is, road overseers and the
hands under them, to adopt the drag
idea. 1t is done every day, done on
some Of the roads in Brazos County,
and Notwithstanding the fact that the
people everywhere know they are a
success, not half the roads Of the
county are dragged.
The Eagle has long contended, and
still contends, that when a county road
is once graded, it should be and could
be, kept in good condition ever after.
ward. Let each overseer be provided
with drag and apportion the drag
ging between the several hands on his
section of road. Let each man take
his turn and drag the road after each
rain.
If this plan should be adopted and
followed closely, we would have one
hundred per cent better roads than we
now have.

FULL BLOOD INDIAN
IS PASSING FAST

Washington, Feb. 3.-The prediction
that the full.blooded American Indian
will have disappeared in half cen
fury was made here by Victor M.
Locke, Governor OF the Choctaw Ma
ton, one of the Five Civilized Tribes.
He estimates that there are 100000
full bloods living today.
Governor Locke attributes the enor-
nous death rate among the full
blooded Indians in the last few years
to pneumonia and other diseases Of
the lungs. 1T is not strange, how
ever, when one thinks about it," he
said. Halt breeds and quarter breeds
are perhaps naturally not so hardy a
race as the full blood, but the latter
are not adapted to the new manner Of
living which the government has pre-.
scribed for them. The mixed bloods
can.
in recent years, instead Of raising
his own meats. vegetables and bread,
as he did fifty years ago, the Indian
has been obliged to eat the food pur'
chased from stores by the govern
ment Though this food is good, 1t
seems to be impossible for the full
blood Indian to thrive on it. 1t is
against his nature. Give the old In
dian an opportunity to rove the plains
again, let him hunt for his food and
he will continue to live for many
years."

or course new methods of agriculture
can accomplish the same results IN
fraction of the time required by the
uegro's plan, but the story of what
he has done is interesting and an ex'
tract follows:
From one hundred and sixty acres
of depleted land in Alabama, on which
white men had not been able to exc
out a living, a former slave has pro-
duced a fortune by following his own
system of soil enrichment For four
miles up and down the koWaliga
creek in Elmore County, the fields
and the standing long-leaf pine tim
her nearly all are his. But beside
there are blooded cattle and horses
cotton gin and sawmill, and probably
other assets elsewhere.
THE land which would produce no
more than a fifth of bale OF cotton
to the acre has, under his METHODS
yielded year after year increasing
crops of cotton and today produces on
his big acreage from one to one and
a half bales. Long before the prac-
tice of burning the cotton seed ceased
through the South, years before the
value of cotton seed meal for fertilizer
had been discovered and heralded by
the government and every experiment
station, John Benson was following a
systematic use of cotton seed to bring
up' his land. He used the cotton seed
with other vegetable matter, including
leaves from the wood and barnyard
manure, for making a compost which
in the fall he put in trenches in the
| field and covered with soil. Buried
there it heated and decayed, the steam
being a notice to neighbors that Ben
sons fertilizers were at work during
| the winter, manufacturing ammonia
for boosting the crop yield of that
field yet another fraction of a bale
beyond the best of the year before.
There has been system and order
in his operations, and a degree OF
honesty that has made his word as
acceptable as his land. These have
brought degree of success that Is
the most remarkable in the fact that
