Floods in the South
Causes Much Loss of
Cotton This Season

II is the general opinion Of every
one who has stopped TO give it
thought that the Plains country will
have 70 furnish large part Of the
cotton Of Texas this year. The
floods that have practically covered
the Mississippi valley end nearly all
rivers throughout South Texas and
the southern states, have destroyed
millions Of acres Of cotton that have
already been planted II is stated
by cotton planters that by the time
the water goes down and the ground
gets dry enough for planting the
season will be too far advanced TO
plant over, as such that viii be
planted the SECOND time will fall
victim TO the boil weevil which de-
ponds on late cotton. This, II is
claimed, will cause a large shortage
in The crop this year and the prices
viii be better than last year.
u is reported that owing TO the
short crop last year, the surplus has
been reduced 70 such an extent that
many factories have closed, and
that foreign mills are wanting. our
cotton, and as their credit is being
restored they will be able to buy
American cotton 20 make up the
shortage in cloth that now exists.
Here on the Plains cotton grows
as successfully as il does in any
section Of the state, and the yield
runs high. On account Of the high
altitude and the sturdiness Of the
stalk. insects have never deprecated
on cotton, and il is a sure crop
This year farmers in Hale county
should plant cotton; il is the best
crop that can be planted for ready
money. Every farmer should plant
few acres There is approved seed
enough on hand in the county TO
plant between six and ten thousand
acres.-Abernathy Review.

IN MEMORIAM

In sad but loving remembrance Of
our dear father VILLAIN G..
SIMPSON, who departed this life
one year ago today, April 3, 1921.
Dear is the grave in which he is laid,
Sweet is the memory which will
never fade,
Part of my life is buried deep.
Under the sod where my father
sleeps.
God called him homo it was his will
But in our hearts We miss him still.
How sadly we waited the hours,
That measured the sorrowful
months.
Since we laid meath a mantle Of
flowers,
Our father we loved so dear,
Our thoughts are always wander
ing
To the grave so far away.
Where our dear father is lying,
In his peaceful, lonely grave.
It's so sweet to be remembered.
And swee:er still to find.
Through twelve long months you've
been away.
You are still kept in mind.
BY his daughters.
