Mr.. j. l. Hodge says he made four
hundred bushels of corn on his two
horse farm, that 1 failed to put in
| my article last week with the other
things he made. So 1 thought would
correct it.
Why should we go to Texas or
hunt any other country when we can
make so much in this ofd country; as
we call it. Mr.. Ashmore Vanderford
showed me piece Of land near Lock-
hart that he wants to make two bales
to the acre this year. There is about
three of four acres in this piece of
land. This is fresh new ground and
will be second year. This is rich,
Texas could not beat it.
will tell you what old Uncle AL
bert Brandon has done. He made 81
baskets from August 1913 to Decem-
Der 1913, and averaged rs cents per
basket and realized $63.75. Albert is
one of the old time darkies and is 81
years of age He says he never has
been in any trouble in his life, al
ways made his living by the sweat of
his brow; he belonged to Mr.. Kit
Brandon, who lived on Browns creek
in Union county. When he was a
slave his master never had to use
him rough for he always obeyed his
master. l give this old darkey and
his wife home and wood free of
charge and will hire him when / need
him and pay him for his work. I
wish we had more like him in this
country.
