COTTON PLANT

Indications of heavy rains all about
but very little in Cotton Plant.
At this writing everybody is at
tending the Woodmen supper at Mar
tel.
Plenty of boil weevils in Cotton
Plant, but if their living is depend,
ent upon cotton they will surely die
as the acreage does not exceed ten
acres. One farmer who has q little
patch of cotton told this scribe that
the weevils were eating it up, stalks,
roots and leaves.
If the seasons continue good rec
ord breaking crop of corn will be
made in Cotton Plant.
This scribe made a trip through the
Fellowship and Emathla sections last
week, and such corn crops. we have
never seen. All the farmers have
large fields of it and every field look.
ed like it would be a bonanza to the
owner. Without disparaging any, we
are compelled to say that Mr.. J. L..
Beck has a field of corn that we will
pit against any field in the state, not
excepting Muclan farms.
And, Mr.. Editor, if you want a good
real country dinner just take our
word for it and go over and dine with
some of those farmers.
My, what a dinner this writer had
at one of the Fellowship homes last
Friday. We would like to say just
what home, but we are afraid that
good wife might give us scolding.
In justice to this good woman we
must say that we reached her home
after the noon hour and the dinner
she placed before us was common,
everyday dinner.
Our trip in these sections was made
in the interest of the great centenary
movement, and we must say that we
found and interviewed some noble
women on this round; women that
don't have to ask their husbands if
they can give to a good cause.
Husbands and wives should be
equal partners, and neither should
ask the other when good and just
cause is presented.
In securing pledges we found some
real poor people, and then we found
some real rich people, and all alike
did what they considered to be the
best and so they were all one hun
bred per cent. people, and one wom-
an said in giving her pledge that no
woman should do more than she.
