THE THIRD" AND FOURTH"

A bin based on the paramount
plank in Governor Fergusons cam.
paign declaration Of principles, his
land rental plank, has been intro
duced in the Legislature and met a
favorable reception by the members
Of both Houses OF that body That
It will be enacted into law IS fore
gone conclusion.
The bill Is not at all what many had
expected, Judging from the manner
in which the proposition was de-
scribed In the campaign, for II seeks
10 gain It's ends In manner that
many regard as perfectly sound and
legal. Instead Of prohibiting abso'
lutely the charging OF more than "a
third and fourth" Of cotton and grain
crops. respectively. 1t simply outlaws
contracts made on any other basis.
Such contracts under the terms OF
the bill have no standing in court,
and Il IS further provided that within
limit OF two years the tenant can
recover twice the amor paid In ex'
cess OF the legal limit
After all. rental contract based
on terms OF third and fourth Is
about as equitable TO both landlord
and tenant as Il would be possible 10
work out. II Il is desirable that all
land be rented on the same terms.
The only burden. as We see II, will
fan on the landlord who has poor
land. A tenant will not be attracted
TO poor hill land II he can get the
very best black lands and fertile bot
tom lands on precisely the same
rental terms. Land that will produce
from a half to a bale Of cotton per
acre will be more eagerly sought than
land that will require from three "a
six acres 10 produce a bale. Under
the money rent plan, poor land could
be rented because the price per acre
was much less than the more pro
ductive soils.
As to the advantage between land
lord and tenant under the third and
fourth plan. It all depends. II big
cron is made and prices are high, II
is best for the landlord But II II is
a poor crop year and the price is low
as the past year was. the tenant pra"
tically loses his years work. as II
takes all the crop to pay the rent, and
there were many the past year who
did not make enough 10 nav II.
Owing TO the uncertainty Of crop'
in Texas as well as the instability o.
prices. the advantages of the third

BLACK BIRCH TREES.

Wintergreen Flavor.

The Source From Which We Get That
Wintergreen Flavor.
Chewing gum and candy eaters
would miss this tree if it ever happen
ed to disappear. 1t furnishes that
wintergreen flavor" Besides flavor
ing for candy, it is used by chemists
to hide certain nasty tastes in medi-
cines they give to children.
From the sap Of the tree Is brewed
the drink called birch beer; so, you see,
this tree is CONNECTION shop in, itself
and deserves a place in that fairyland
forest with the sugar plum tree and
the others. Its name is black birch.
1t has another name, cherry birch,
named thus because the smooth bark
looks like the bark Of the cherry tree.
It is dark brown in color and comes
off in layers, Beneath this layer is
the inner bark. which contains the
flavor.
An old black birch tree has rough
bark covering it's trunk, but the smooth
bark always covers the limbs. If you
want to be sure of its identity break
off a twig and chew it. You'll never
mistake the flavor
Even the leaves, which are ovate
and have prominent veins, bear a
spicy flavor. Early in the spring, be-
fore the leaves appear, the tree is COW
cred with yellowish catkins. About
June the fruit appears in the shape
-,
they separate into tiny nuts with mar
row wings and scatter to the four
Winds.
Birch distilleries are still more or
less common in mountain regions
where the tree is plentiful. The win
tergreen oil obtained from the bark is
valuable. The wood is hard and is
sometimes used for furniture. Phila-
