COTTON GROWS BACK

People who know nothing about
cotton, riding along the roads or
on the trains, return to the cities and
tell the world what fine cotton
crop We have this year. The weed
is very high, frequently being high
er than q persons head, but there
are not many bolIs on it. Farmers,
who have been out Of their cotton
two or three weeks do not know
themselves how short it is. One man
took friend down into his field to
show him his fine cotton, he walked
into where he knew his best cotton
was and stopped for his friend to
look at it. Helknew it was good and
he just wanted his friend to see If
for himself without being told. His
friend remarked, Where is your
good cotton? This cotton is no ac,
count He looked at his cotton
then and said, whats the matter
with me2 Have | gone crazy" A
prominent country merchant and
planter went out INTO his cotton and
looked at il only last week and felt
just like the above farmer, only
worse, because hs has everything
he has advanced on supplies to make
this cotton crop. A good farmer
sent me out into his field to look at
his cotton crop as he had little Job

went. The weed was very fine. In
places higher than my head. It
should make over a bale to the acre,
but he will do we'll if he gets half
bale. Everybody was talking about
their short crop with a few exeep-
lions, but on my previous trip all
we're Dragging on their fine pros
poets. | ran across a few very good
crops. but remember when | write
them up that they are the exception
and not the rule.
Cotton is beginning to open nice
y and it will not be long until it is
rolling into market in a steady
stream, but the flood of the stream

More Cures for Icy Poison.

! ,
Twenty-seyen years ago in July
Mr. Volpert got poisoned with ivy.
Nothing did him any good until the
next January, when there came an
overflow Of the Big Maumelle. He
was trying to get his hogs out of
the bottoms when he stepped on
log, not noticing that ii was in the
river, when he went under in the
cold ice water and got cured at once,
and has never been bothered with it
since. There was a doctor stopping
with him at the time, who gave him
dose of calomel and three doses of
quini0e, which might have helped the
cure along. Ether is also good, and
carbolic acid is yet better. | am re
minded TO take further notice Of it
because Friday morning | stepped
out to one side of the road where
Blanche Phillips was cutting logs
and next day it broke out on me
again. | did not touch the stuff,

and his cotton will bring him in

he also has bis hogs and cattle. He

Graduating the t;cEs, it has put him
in another hole He has about de-
eided to butcher what stock he has
and go out of The cattle business ex
cept for a good milk COW or two.
The people have fully made up
their minds that they will not dip
again and | learned that the govern
ment agent has said that he will let
them alone until they want to dip.
Some of the farmers who were OPP
posed to it would like to dip a few
times now that their crops are laid
by. Ticks are getting on their cat
tie IN places and they say under that
condition it would be an advantage
to dip. A car load of cattle shipped
to St. Louis from Bigelow by Big
Maumelle man only brought him
three cents a pound. He had to label
his car For Immediate Slaughter, .
and was at the mercy of the buyers.
Inspectors have been around in the
Bayou Meto country inspecting the
cattle for ticks. In all sections
where they find ticks people will
not be allowed to turn their cattle
on the outside. This will work a
great hardship on renters and will
cost the lives Of many babies if en-
forced, for if the poor people can
not let their cows run on the free
range they cannot keep them, the
babies will have to do without milk
and die.
