LOCKHART JUNCTION


have had another fair week and far
mers will now get to ploughing and
turning the soil for the land is get
ting dry. The ploughing that has
been done has been ploughed most
too wet.
New moon today. Last month
month there will be two full moons.
One on the first of the month and
the other one on the thirtieth.
Has there been a 16 million bale
crop of cotton made as was prcph-
esied by your own Judge? If there
has been then 6 millions went across
the waters and the American mills
used the balance. Some might say
that there is too much old cotton on
hand. l wish that our congressman
could fix the price of cotton, they
can do almost anything else. l
would be glad of it, and had rather
know that / am going to get 8 cents
than to think I might have to take
Z cents. 1t seems that we will never
get things straight, speculation an.
graft will go on as long as, time.
If cotton should bring 9 or 10 cents
before planting time, don't let it
fool you. 1t don't mean that it viii
bring the same price next fall and
won't if there is another big crop.
Think over this business.
