 WRITES OF TEXAS HOME
D. Z. SPRINGER SAYS FARMERS ARE CUTTING COTTON
 ACREAGE ONE-FOURTH.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 Please find inclosed money order for your paper, which we are always glad to get, as that was once our home county, and it gives us all of the news of the county. It beats getting a letter from home, as I receive the paper regularly and can keep up with the times in Faulkner county. was back there in December but did not get to visit the office, which I regret very much.
 l will give you few ideas of Hunt county, Texas, in which county I live. We have some black land that is very tough, some mixed and some good sand, but land is very high-from $50 to $15O per acre. It is rated too high but is easy to work.
 Most everybody is through planting corn. Some corn is up. Some have begun to plant cotton, but about the 18th is the general starting time. We are having a very late spring, and the 3rd just past we had ice and big frost.
 We'll, I hope my friends in Faulk- Ter county will cut their cotton crop short of last year. We Texas farm CTS are reducing our cotton crop about one-fourth, as best we can get at it. We have lots of grain sowed and it is looking well. We are try ing all kinds of grass for hay. and there will be lots of sorghum sowed here. Nearly every farmer has some wheat sowed. So you see all of those extras cuts our cotton crop shorter. This seems to be hard place to grow plenty of corn, but the great trouble is the farmers have been devoting most all of their time to cotton rais- ing, but I think they have changed to great extent.
 With best wishes to the Log Cabin Democrat.
 D. z. Springer.

 We are proud to learn that the cleo tion passed as it did. We are aware of the fact that good roads are need ed, but there is too much expense attached to this plan of building them for it takes all of the six cent cot ton the people can raise to get the necessities of life. We have managed to get through so far with out macad amized roads and I don't think there is any more use to go to so much ex, pense to build good roads at this late day.
