candidate for repivsentative

which is the place now held by
II. B. Savage. Mr. MoLine is

TOBACCO CROPS.
iMd ••Uetion and Improved Handling
•f Plants.
By W. H. •CHERFFII'S, tobacco ezpart.
. Kentucky experiment station.
The Importance of geod seed lu every
crop baa been demonstrated so often
that every farmer should know that It
pays him well to plant only the best.
Tobacco Is no exception to thl* rule.
Light, chaffy seeds that are low in vi-
tality give us plants that are weaklings
with slow growth. Various schemes
for separating the light from the heavy
tobacco seed have been suggested, but
the most thoroughly practical method
is by means of a piece of apparatus in-
troduced by the bureau of plant in-
dustry and a current of air which Is
generated with the foot bellows, us
shown in the cut. The air passes
through the rubber tube, then through
the valve, which cau bo regulated to
admit of the passage of the desired
amount of air to accomplish the best
Bepnratiou. Tho nlr passes up through
a piece of liulf Inch Iron tube, thence
through a larger gluss tube and out at
the top. carrying with It the light,
chaffy seed. At the base of the glass
tube, which Is about an Inch In dlam
eter aiul Ave or six feet loug. Is a me-
tallic JolHt which has a piece of fine
wire gauze in it to prevent the seed
from falling Into the vnlve below.
Using about an ounce of seed for each
charge, only a few minutes are re-
quired to separate a considerable
quantity.
This piece of -ipparatus can be made
by most any mechanic, or It can be
purchased from any chemical supply
house. Every community should own
one of these machines for the benefit
of Its fanners.
Improved methods of handling the
crop is a topic of such magnitude tlint
we deem It expedient ill this wrltlu.
not to go Into dctal'fd dlnctisslon of
this phase of the si'bjeet.

Twj Genuine Sports.
Ed Cline and Bob Dockum
went out to the Lampasas river a
few d i.vs ago to demonstrate that
the piscatorial artists around Bel-
ton were simply novices. They
departed in a very swift equine
auto (ought to) and arrived at
their objective point very early
in the morning, about a. m.
with a line outiit that give tiie
iish no show whatever. They
came back alright and brought
with them—the remnants of
what they carried. They tire
sports of the genuine article, no
one has heard them kick a lick
since the trip—not even at the
chiggers.
Faculty Cjmplete. 1
At the last meeting of the
school board the list vacancy in
the faculty was filled in the elec-
tion of Miss All i Mae Hdlida.v.
Miss Durrett who tendered her
resignation reconsidered and will
continue with the school in her
former position. With these
two positions provided for the
faculty for the coming session is
complete, and it is the opinion of
of the board as well as Professor
Ilubbard that the schools arc as
strong if not stronger than for-
merly, and Beiton'a reputation
for a high class school system
will be maintained.
Business House Changes Hands.
A recent real estate deal out of
the ordinary was the transfer of
the store house now occupied by
lieese & Co. Miss Susie Miller,
who owned the property sold it
to W. J. Stone, the consideration
being $0000. Tho sale will not
affect the present o.-cupant,
Reese & Co., who will continue
business at the same stand.
Foil Saj.e—Two and a half
horse power; Fairbanks-Morse
gasoline engine. This engine is
worked over and made as good
as new. About 20 feet of good
leather belt and full set of bat-
teries go with engine. Guaran-
teed to be in perfect order. See
J. H. Bloomer and F. W. Guffy.
For Sale—A good spring
wagon, suitable for delivery or

Bloomer or F. W. Guffey.

To the Public:
In a spjech recently published,
I made th.- following statement:
"Tiie civil docket of the county
court of Bill conntv shows that
during the yews of 1904, 1905,
190.1 a ad 19.M w'lile he was hold-
ing t!ie office of district attorney,
Mr. R)binson appeared as at-
torney tor the Missouri, Kansas
& Texas R til way Co., of Texas in
fifteen suits broug it against that
corporation by citizens of Bell
county, for dam ige to theirprop-
erty."
My opponent. District At-
torney ii >bin <0:1. followed by
some of his sup porters, has de-
j nied the truth of t lis, and charg-
ed me with unfairness and in-
justice to him, in nuking.
I made the statement upon the
facts shown by tiie following cer-
tificate:
Beiton. .Tune 8th, 1908.
"I hereby certify that the
name of John 1). Robinson ap-
pears on the civil docket of the
County Court of Bell county as
the counsel for the M. K. & T.
Ivy. Co.. in the following num-
bered cases:—2521, 2522. 2531,
2:.l3-i. 251)8,2573, 2616, 2017, 2013,
2JS1, 23'51. 2672, 2690, 2591, 2703,
2715, which cases were appealed
from the Justice Court to the
I County Court and were filed
between July 1903 and Feb. 6th
| 1907.
I Cliven under my hand and the
I se.il of said court at office, in the
Citv of Beiton, this the 8th day
of J une A. D. 1908.

County Clerk, Bell county, Tex.

seal | Deputy.
I This is a sample of the tactics
j of my opponent and his support-
tors; they are evidently attempt-
ing to attract the attention ot
the public from his official record
and create sympathy for him, by
charging me with unfairness,
even if to do so they must contra-
dict the record itself.
Every fact stated as to my op-
ponent is from the records, and
1 am sure my statements are
substantially correct; if I have
made any mistake. I am ready
ready and anxious to make cor-
rection as publicly as the state-
ment has been made.

TOUAi CO Hl£lil> SLl'ABATOU.
Bcnerr.l nie'boJs employed 1j the state
for handling; the crop* arc sl.uii.ir. It
is desirable and usually tiie custom to
ee'.ect a piece of virgin soli for a seed
bed. Ilurlas tLie v,"later or early E;ii'iu;:
it is licnted to a Uep'.li of twj or three
Inches by burning brushwood or 1 i:n
ilar material on it to kill u:iy weed
seeds that would germinate u::d Made:
the growth of the youaj tobacco
plants. After the plot of ground I.-. <-ool
it Is then dug up, silg'itly raised into
beds, raked and put in g->o.l coalition
for the seed.
Although the cultural methods mid
mechanical manipulations of seeding,
canvassing the beds, transplanting,
cultivation and housing are adjusted
to suit each locality, they are all car-
ried out on the same general plan.
There Is often from two or two r.n:l
one-half times as much hurley tobacco
set on the ground as is put 0:1 the sauie
area in the dark tobacco district.
Bitter Rot of Apple*.
It is well known that the bitter rot
of apples is due to a specific fungus.
This fungus grows 011 developing ap-
ples. beginning at any time during the
summer or autumn when the condi-
tions are favorable after the fiuits arc
formed and until and after they are
ripe, and It lives as a parasite ia tile
bark of apple tree !iuil>s, usually I11
localized areas called cankers, it does
not cccur upon the leave;!.
1 The fungus lives over wir'er in
woundilke spots called cankers r.u the
Hull u of the apple trees, and from
these infection iray start the succeed-
ing season. Not Infrequently the locu-
tion of a canker can lie made out by
the spotu beneath it on th;> growlag
fruit caused by spores washing with
rainwater from She former on to t'ae
r.urfaies of the apples. The area of
such Infection In a well fruited tree
frequently takes the form of a cone
with Us apes upward at or beneath
the limb canker. The water carrying
the spores does not descend perpen-
dicularly because of the Interference
of the foliage: hence the wider area of
infection below.—Illinois Experiment
btatlou.

Miss Maguerite Bedelle, of the
Univerity of Tex is stopped over
in the city to see her friends the
early part of this week. She is
on her way to Chicago, where
she will spend the summer with
her sister.
Prof. J. B. Hubbird, superin-
tendent of the Beiton public
scluiols, left Wednesday night for
his summer vacation. He goes
to Chicago, and the northern
lakes and will likely remain till
near the beginning of the next
term of school.
C«rn and Emmer.
In some experiments with two-year-
old grade steers it was found that a
pound of corn was equal to one and
a quarter pounds of emmer. Where
the corn nnd emmer were mixed half
and half by weight the relation was
about the same, with a small Increase
in gain In favor of the mixture. With
hogs It required seven to eight pounds
of emmer as against about live pounds
of com to produce a pound of gain.
A Satisfactory Ho-d.
Choice cows can seldom be Iwtig'.it at
rensonnVe figures, unlers It be at a
dlaperehai sale. The owners know
their worth an I will not part with
them. This being the cuse. the only
way we can get a satisfactory h«rd Is
to rnlre It. This Is not only more sat-
Ir factory, but It is much raoro econom-
ical.
