T FOREMAN STRIhCER WILL
DIVERSITY DURING 1875
SAYS WILL CUT COTTON CROP
ON ANDERSON FARM AT
LEAST 100 ACRES

II T. Stringer, foreman Of the j.
B. Anderson farm in the Walker
Creek community out from Ennis
~as attending court here Monday.
t.r. Stringer says the roads from
Ennis out to the Anderson farm are
IN bad condition.
Mr. Stringer has been foreman of
.his farm since 1900 and is pretty
well versed in farming in Ellis
county, Last year he had in some
thing like COO acres, of the 900 in
cultivation, in cotton, and, like
many other Ellis county farmers
has become convinced that the one
crop idea is a great big mistake
He says he would like very much to
diversity, and is going to do it to
some extent, but that many Of the
renters Will be compelled to put in
considerable cotton because the land
is not suitable for grain. He expects
10 cut the cotton acreage on this
farm at least 100 acres this year
He will plant oats, sorghum and
corn.
Speaking Of the pike roads in
that vicinity, Mr.. Stringer says they
have held up well and are now in
good condition, He attributes this
to the fact that good material was
used in constructing the pixies in
that community. He lives only
three miles off from the pike and
when he reaches it he can make it
to and from town with ease.
