" V town's prosperity depends
simply and solely upon the char

enterprising, public spirited and
progressive, they can make a

If they lack thoso essontial qual

THE BOLL WORM.
Exerybody is discussing the
bill worm and speculating nbut
his nofarious-work. Uncle Sam
has been talkinc: to some of the
man who guide the plow and has
eliohVd same facta regarding the
boll worm.
Tho ravages of the. boll worm
sooms to bo moro disastrous on
the blaok 1 ind, but the orop on
the blaok land is muoh better and
eurlier than on the sandy land so
the plant is, more able to stand
the thieving of the boll worm,
and as yet the orop on tho blaok
land offers moro hopo than usual
and tho worm will yet have to do
his destructive work in order to
blight tho present outlook. While
on the sandy lana tno worms
have not materialized to any very
alarming extent, and tho boll
worm will yot have to do his
work" to break down the hope of
the men who guide the plow.
I wai speaking to Mr. W. V.
Bagwell, who lives on twelve
mile pra'rie, and he says that we
have an overwhelming prospect
in ur country and the boll worm
would havo a mighty big job to
defeat the cotton crop out his
way. Ho has 46 acres in corn
that is vol y fine, (and ho pro
duced two fine ears about 13
in.ohes long) on being asked how
muoh he thought tho yield would
be he refused to talk. Ey dontly
Mr. Bagwell has a fine c rop of
corn and cotton.
Mr. Pettit who lives nee r Du
rant, about 4 miles north, -peaking
of crops said that pre spects
for ootton are exoellont, bt t it is
none too lato for tho boll worms
to destroy the cotton crop). We
have a few at work but tox no
alarming extent. To inworyud
iuo bimrpauuinur is uuni muru
harm than the boll worm this
yar.
Mr. Pettit has 30 aores of cot
ton and 18 acres of corn, he likes
the principles of tho Farmers
union and desires to see the farm
ers organize.
FROM THE CHOCTAW NATION.
This is from the eastern part
of the Choctaw Nation. It joins
Polk County, Arkansas. This is
a very billy rocky country. Some
very good land and some very
poor land. All the farming land
i on the creeks. Plenty of good
water, mostly springs. This is a
finely timbered country, fine
range for cattle and a fine hog
country. I think it is a very
healthy country. This is a fino
plaoo for a lazy man plenty of
game and bees to hunt. John
