A Trip to the Country*
Sunday afternoon a representa
tive of this paper and his wife ac
cepted a ride with Mr. and Mrs. C.
M. Supple, In their Kissel Kar, to
their fine farm near Alma. On the
return trip we stopped at Ennis,
where we were treated to refresh
ments by the host, which added to
our already delightful outing.
"While at Mr. Supple’s farm the re
porter inspected his big cotton crop
end would estimate the crop at a
half bale to the acre. Other cotton
crops In the Alma community, we
sow, did not promise so large a
yield. But from Ennis to Waxaha
chie the cotton crop looks goad, and
especially good on the county farm
and promisee a three-quarter bale
to the acre, or better, are assured.
