IN CALDWELL HILLS
COTTON PROSPECTS BRIGHTEST
FARMERS HAVE HAD IN
YEARS.
EXCESSIVE RAIN DAMAGING
Sweet Potato Crop ls Reported as Sur
passing Anything That Has Ever
Been Done in That Line-Large
Curing Plant Is Established.

Columbia, La. -- In that portion OF
Caldwell parish lying west of the
OuaChita river, commonly known as
the hill section of the parish, reports
of a very encouraging nature are com,
ing in every day. An unusually abund,
ant corn crop is assured. There is on
exhibition at the Caldwell Bank and
Trust Company three ears of corn
gathered at random from the field Of
David McClary which measure eleven
and one-half inches in length. One of
the ears has 575 Well.matured grains,
while the other two have 56S and
ST. respectively. Mr.. MCClaTy when
placing the corn on exhibition said
that his corn crop is no better than
the average in his neighborhOod. In
Quiry from other sections confirms the
fact that the corn crop in the hills is
far beyond anything that has been &C
Complshed in corn raising during the
past seyera lyears.
The sweet potato crop in that sec
ton is reported as surprising any
thing that has ever been done in that
particular line. The acreage planted
to sweet potatoes has been increased
by reason of the fact that large cur
ing plant has been established at Gray
son, five miles south OF Columbia on
the line of the. Missouri Pacific Rail
road and Is easily accessible to all
farmers residing in the hill portion of
the parish.
The rainfall during the past few
days, In some localities, has been OF
that character to cause considerable
damage, but in most places the rain
has not been beyond what was actual
ly needed
That portion Of Caldwell parish ~
ing east of the Ouachita river is COM
posed principally Of what is commonly
known as alluvial land, and some of
it is very low, but in the absence of
a general overflow of the river and
when weather conditions are ordinar-
fly favorable, these lands will produce
more per acre than the hill lands west
of the river,
Because of the excessive rainfall
and the partial overflow which prevail
ed this year the river farmers are at
a great disadvantage compared with
their brethren Of the hills. In addition
to their splendid corn, potato and
cotton crop, the farmers of the hills
have been blessed with an abundant
fruit and melon crop. Many wagon
loads of Vatermelons have been sold
on the streets of Columbia, Grayson
and Clarks, and in many instances
they sold for dollar each Peaches
sold for four and five dollars per bush |
ell and cantelOupes for twenty-five
cents apiece.

Labor Organization in
America Can Be Traced
to Movement in 1903

Organizations among American la
bOrers began in 1903, when the shin
carpenters and calkers of New York
and Boston organized. The taflors
OF New York formed a union the same
year, and 1903 also witnessed the first
Industrial strike in America, when the
New York sailors refused to work.
Before that, however, there had been
labor disturbances among the bakers
OF New York and the boot and shoe
makers of Philadelphia. It was dur
ing the sailors strike of 1903. the
Massachusetts, shipbuilders' strike of
1917, and the, Albany printers strike
CT 1920, that the terms rat" and
"scab" were first used. From local
unions, the organization of labor nro-
crossed until in 1850 the first inter-
tational labor union, that of the print
crs. was launched
The first martyrs to trace union
ism" were thrown into Jail, at Toll
puddle, Dorsetshire, Eng, II years
ago. They were James and George
Loyelace, Thomas StanfeId, James
Bryne. The first three men were
Wesleyan preachers, who worked as
farm labOrers on week days and
preached the gospel on Sundays.
Their Imprisonment was due to their
attempt to form a union of farm la
borers to protest against a proposed
reduction in wages-frOm seven shill-
ings to six shillings-less than $150
a week. The landlords were all-pOw-
erful in DOrsetshire, and the ICON
spiratorS" were arrested stripped

and eventually sentenced to seven
years Imprisonment.
The first demand of labor unions

a convention held in Baltimore, Au-

marked the first attempt to organize
national federation of the various
trade unions, national and interna-

portant labor organizations which ap.
peared before the Civil war were or.
ganized in 1S45: The New England
Workingmen's association, the New
England Protective union and the IN
dustrial Congress of the United
States. All three organizations waned
in the early SOS, and from that time
until the end of the Civil war many
trades unions of the narrower kind
were formed. During this period
many trade union leaders character
lied the trade union as exclusive and
warmly advocated the formation Of
broader organizations which would
elevate the masses by other means
than the strike and the regulation of
apprenticeship. In 1866 their efforts
resulted in the formation of the M.
tional Labor union, which ATTEMPTED
to found a Labor Reform party and
died in 1870 "of the disease known as
politics."

Labor Union fell into the hands of the
