to injury. The territory adjacent

gest cotton producing section in
limatic conditions

"Where there were ample rains
in the vicinity of Fort Worth
last year, this year so far, there
has been too mufeh rain," he said.

is
week have fallen with such force
i i auch quantity that they
haV« washed up the plants. Some
" of the lowland farms have been
literally draining areas and
across them have Washed" tor-
rents of water, sweeping the
cotton plants before them. While
some sections of the state are
complaining at the excessive-
ness of the moisture, others have
not had sufficient rain. This is
true of the hinterland in the
West—that porcion which marks
the blending of the westernmost
cotton region and the eastern-
most cattle ranges." .
"Even before the rains came,
.however, there has been des-
truction of ct tton crops by the
frosts of -the middle part of
April. Many farmers planted
early and .the plants responded
because for a fortnight or so in
April the weather was warm,
but the frost nipped the plants.
As a general thing, however, the
weather has'not been very warm
■ for spring. Cotton crops thrive
in warm weather and much of
the development of the" cotton
plantisat-Right^wlien-the-at-
mosphere is. oppressively warm.
Added to the general beariah-
ness. of the weather and Jrain
situation are two factors hard-
ly taken into accounting by
any but those immediatly in
the " -/ of seed and the im-
rc legislation
covering the pink boll worm.

Slog Breeders Organize *
Local Association.
A number of local hog breed-
ers met in the court house last
Saturday afternoon and orga-
nized the Crosbyton Hog Breed-
ers Association, with G. D. At-
kinson as president;' W: J. Rog
ers vice-president and N. K.
Dupre secretary. It was agreed
to meet again within two weeks,
the date' of which will be Satur-
day^ May 22, and all hog breed-
ers and others {who are inter-
ested in this line of livestock in-
dustry are invited to meet with
them-and join the Organization.
Those present were enthusias
hog industry in this country,"
and by a strong organization,
which they hope to build up, we
see no reason why their dreams
should not be realized.. That
this is an ideal country in which
to raise hogs has already been
proven beyond a doubt, and that
our people should get the better
breeds and thus reap the better
profits, all will agrees
It is really surprising to know
of the great number of hega that
are shipped to market from this
place and . the production could
easily be doubled, and aood~easy
money can _b© made at it.
A number of fine hogs and pigs
were brought in to exhibit on
the streets. N. K. Dupre brought
along a^ eoUple of exceptionally
good sows, one of them with a
brood of dandy pigs. W. J. Rog-
ers brought in some dandy pigs,
as did also G. D. Atkinson.
The Poland-Chinas seem to be
the favorite breed around here,
though the Duroc-Jerseys have a
number of enthusiastic admirers.
The question of a hog show to
be given in Crosbyton at 8ome
future date was discussed and
met with the hearty endorse-
ment of those present. This is
the proper thing to do we think,
and we hope to see a good hog
of the presence of the menace
in various portions of the-State.

spread/o?er the community that
L. B. fcplwell was dead. The

A wave of sadness seemed to
overwhelm the community, and
we could hardly realizePthat it
was true. .
Leslie B. Culwell was born
Sept. 30. 1860, and died May 8,
1920. He was the son of one of
the early Methodist preachers of
Texas, who had the counties of
Collin, D ' d Cook, with
intervening territory, as his cir-
cuit, when it was necessary tc
preach almost every day m th - ■
^weekr-to get round o ice ever
month. The deceased joined th-;
Methodist cfiurch; when but a
small boy, and at the time of his

Miss Artie* Whitley about 41
