Select I'd Articles of
Interest to Farmers
Compiled by q. =. IT,

From the official bulletin issued by
the Federal Reserve Board at wash
ington. d. c.. for the Eleventh dis
trict in March. 1915.
1t is estimated that the winter oat
crop was damaged from 10 to so
per cent by the heavy frost in Jan
uary. The frost was followed by
heavy, general rains. while wheat
was frozen, 1t Is not thought that
the roots Of the plants were killed.
It is believed the damage to wheat
was far less than to oats. The 1916
Texas wheat crop is estimated at
10000. 900 bushels, which IL an ex-
cess over the average crop. but some
what below the 1915 yield
This damage to crops planted In
the fall increases the probability OF
larger cotton acreage, estimated
at an increase OF 10 per cent, unless
effective steps are taken to prevent
such course, There has been only
n slight movement Of cotton the past
month, and probably 10 per cent Of
the crop is sim held. The fruit grow
crs OF Eastern Texas are much en-
couraged at the present prospects for
large crop. However, so much de-
ponds on the weather conditions that
Il will be some thirty days yet before
an accurate forecast can be made as
to the yield. II the weather contln-
ues cold until the FIRST OF March, or
little later. thus preventing the
trees from blossomlng, the crop
should be very large. The fruit In
dustry In the eastern section OF this
district has grown to be an impor-
tant one. and In the past few years
large canning plants have been es-
tablIshed to care for the output.
There Is an active movement Of
vegetables from southern Texas, al
though somewhat decreased from
last year. Strawberries are also ar
irving from that section and reports

CONVICT SHIP TO BE SEEN HERE

No exhibition Of recent years has
evoked the attention as that given to
the old convict ship Success" the
sole survivor Of England's felon fleet
of ocean transports. In all the world
it would be difficult to find a craft
with a more interesting history than
this old ship that carried convicts to
Australia for over SO years. AS a
relic Of a by-gone age, it is a vivid
and striking object lesson in the prog
ress Of humanity and civilization. 1t
shows what governments did to the
poor and the helpless, making them
infinitely worse than they were at
first, even though they were law
breakers. -
The convict system was cruel and
bad and everything in our WI penal
system that cries out for revision and
Improvement is but an inheritance
from those bad old times. The sur
vival of the "Success" through her
century and a quarter of life brings
to us wildly that knowledge and ex-
perience Of the past. The only re-
manning link between the old and the
new, the convict ship now serves the
noble purpose of arousing the public
conscience to the realization of all
that she stood for. During her recent
stay at the San Francisco exposition
motion pictures were taken. to show
the life of the convicts on board the
