CROP PROSPECTS SHOT TO
PIECES.

The editor Of the Navasota Ia
aminer has come to a realization o.
the true condition OF the crops In the
Navasota district following the fear
full havoc OF the storm. and says they
are shot to pieces" The brother can
console himself with the thought they
afa the same here, and the same In
all the South Texas district where
the terrible storm spent It's fury. The
Examiner says:
AS is well known. the editor OF
this paper Is In no sort Of sense a
pessimist. Rather does he lean to the
opposite view all Of the time How
ever, in Justice to conditions about us

edge that the crops are "all shot 10
pieces
1--WE differed from a great number
of our friends. whose opinions were
honest ones. as to the loss oceasioned
by the recent storm. We did not be
lieye that the loss was as great as
some OF them thought, and In this a
number held views similar to our
own. However. none Of us anticipated
the hard rains and cold nights FOL
lowing the storm. These have simply
played havoc with the prospects oil
the crops recovering from the loss
sustained by the storm. We see now
no prospect Of cotton making any
thing further and whatever is made
Is already In sight. There viii be no

our life. but never saw more than one

ALLEN ACADEMY

Allen Academy for sixteen years has
stood upon the merit OF It's work. We
make no other claim to patronage.
That the instruction OF the school is
thorough has had abundant proof. Our
boys have gone In ever increasing mum.
bers to the University OF Texas. Rice
Institute, the A. a NJ. College. South.
western and Baylor Universities. and
to a number OF the leading universities
OF the South and East. Records show
that OF all the boys who enter college
not one in four completes successfully
n college course; the great majority
of Allen boys 20 through to graduation.
There is a r~eason-Allen boys have the
desire and the determination to sue
coed instilled into them every day Of
their preparatory school work.
But Allen Academy teaches more
than books. Every day in the school
is a day OF high aims and worthy en-
deavor: every day Is a day spent in
the thick OF life's battle, and every boy
Is expected to bear an honorable part.
This phase OF our work, this element
OF the schools strength is often little
understood or appreciated by the stu
dents themselves at the time; but Il
explains the success our boys achieve
In later life. and II lies at the root OF
that fine loyalty to the school which
Allen boys show.
The Academy has an honest pride
in It's past;it is ambitious to achieve
yet greater things in the years 10
come. To this end. We ask for a con
%tinuance OF that interest. support and
patronage from the people OF Bryan and
: Brazos County which have contributed
largely to the establishment Nnc
b growth Of the school

70 A N GROWERS.
Remedies Suggested for Peanuts
sprou,ing In the Ground.

Inflammation comes to the A. q VI
College that the excessive rains OF
the third week OF last month have
caused early planted peanuts to begin
sprouting IN the ground. The experts
of the extension service submit Tie
following recommendations
In a case like this II Is advisaule
10 harvest the peanuts at once. l
the vines are still young and fresh
they should be permitted TO mature
hocouse while a few nuts may sprout
more will be made by allowing a ie"
weeks growth before harvesting.
Peanuts can be lifted from the
ground with a middle buster. The
wings OF the pillow should be removed
so &, will lift the vines out with as
little dirt as possible attached.
The vines should be thrown into
small shocks as soon as they are VIII
ed. After staying in these shocks two
or three days. they should be stacked
around uprights with the nuts TO the
center. Cross pieces FIVE feet Ions
should be nailed on the uprights SIX
inches from the ground. This viii
allow good ventilation II the vines arc
carefully and properly stacked around
the pole. The vines should be allow
ed 10 remain IN the stack until th'
nuts are thoroughly dry. after which
time they can be baled for feed o.

COUNTY
TAX VALUATIONS
Values decrease From 1914, But Total
Taxes increase Because OF
Increased Tax Rate.

The following figures were obtained
BY The Eagle through the courtesy
OF County Tax Assessor j. Sidney
smith from the 1915 tax rolls. which
he has Just completed, and which
show the amount Of taxable property
In the county. values assessed and the
amount OF taxes Ia be collected. The
report shows a decrease in the yalua'
ton which Mr. Smith says IS due to
the present financial depression and
a slight leniency on his part and on
the part OF the board OF equalization
The Increase in the amount o.
taxes over 1914 shown Is due 20 the
increase IN the State rate from S,isc

the 100000 good roads bonds, and

Killing of Birds Prohibited

The attention of all persons is direct
ed to the fact that all insectivoroos
birds, and nearly all hawks and owls,
are protected by the laws Of Colorado.
It is forbidden to kill them or to cap
ture them alive, or to take or destroy
their nests or eggs. The penalty for
violation is a fine Of not more than
S25. 90 for each bird or nest or eggs, or
imprisonment not to exceed ten days in
jail, or both. These birds are also pro-
tected by the Federal law for the pro-
lection Of migratory birds, and Offend
ers are liable to prosecution by United
States officers.
The exception to the Colorado law
are the English sparrow, sharp-shinned
hawk, Cooper's hawk, goehawk, duck
hawk, great horned owl, pinon jay,
magpie, blue jay, and eagle. Some Of
the unprotected hawks resemble the
protected, be sure you are right before
killing any. Remember that ignorance
Of the law does not excuse the offender.
