Not Half a Cotton Crop.
Taylor, -Tex.-' ept. 12. Fran-
cis A. Allison of this city, man
ager of the JHoxie San Gabriel
ranch five miles north of Taylor
of which 3500 Teres are planted
in cotton and tnan whom there
is perhaps no better authority on
crop conditions in Williamson
county, estimates the average
yield of cotton in this section of
the county at 45 per cent of last
year's crop, or hardly one half.
Taylor's total receipts last year
was 36; 600 bales. This year
he stimates the receipts at 17,000
or possibly 18,000 bales. On ac-
count of the continued diouth,the"
plant has ceased frniting in this
section. Cotton has been con-
siderably damaged by boll weevils
who ravages have been hindered
by excessive warm weather1.
Practically all squares have fallen
from the stalks, he says 25 per
cent of which condition is at-
tributable to boll weevil and 75
per cent to warm weather.
About one-sixth of the seasons
prospective crop has been picked
and marketed. Mr. Allisonjmses
his estimate on crops of this and
past seasons of a half hundred or
more tenants " on the Hoxie
ranch.
Plans Accepted.
The building committee has
adopted plans for the new school
building, the maximum cost of
which is to be $18,500. The old
building will be moved to one cor-
ner of the campus at once so that
work canjbegin on the new build-
ing as soon as the contract can
be let and the material assembled.
The design is by Architect Watson
of Austin, and the building is to
have ten class rooms, three ofjices
and an assembly room.
