PARKER COUNTY’S CROP, WITH
CONDITION OF 90, BE8T IN
NORTH TEXA8.
(By F. N, GRAY, Texas Cotton Crop
Specialist, U. S. Department of
Agriculture.
A condition of 61 per cent of a nor-
mal crop on August 25, as reported by
the Cotton Crop Reporting Board, on
the usual allowance of 1 per cent
abandonment of acreage, basis 10,-
745,000 acres, estimated planted and
standing June 25, would indicate an
average yield of 164.4 pounds of lint
cotton per acre, or a total production
of 3.259,000 equivalent 500 pounds of
gross weight bales, and not including
lhiters. The December estimate of
acreage picked compared with the
preliminary estimate of acreage as of
June 25, will show the full acreage
abandoned.
The crop has deteriorated 6 points
since July 25, date of last report. This
Is to be ascribed altogether to insect
ravages, and the loss is confined to
the east one half of the cotton grow-
ing area of the state. In the west
half, where from good to excellent
conditions were found last month, in
the comparative absence of insects,
improvement has taken place. In the
area affected by insects, where last
month only boll weevil ravages were
noted, boll worms and army or leaf
worms have developed an added to
the devastation.
Over the entire State almost, the
plant has attained a growth and size
most abnormal for the season, because
of the unusually prolonged conditions
of moisture that have prevailed all
summer. This is particularly true
of the east half, and the rank growth
of the plant has rendered ineffective
all means of control, especially of the
weevil depredations. Where boll
worms, alone, have been destructive,
which is the case in many counties
to the northward in the infested belt,
(his period being usually of three
weeks duration) it is the belief that
there is time before frost for the large
sized plant to take on new fruit and
thus in a measure retrieve ks losses.
To the southward, where boll weevils,
leaf worms and boll worms have com-
bined in the attack, additional frun-
ajje is now seemingly Impossible. As
to counties where this conditions ex-
ists. and it is somewhat spotted, thej
The Herald hai received the follow-
ing article from Wiliam Arthur John-
son, Chicago, 111., giving astrological
predictions *and review of the planets
of those born on Woodrow Wilson’s
birthday, Dec. 28. Mr. Johnson is a
member of the Employers’ Advisory
Association of America. Among other
things, he predict* that President
Wilson will be elected tor a third
term in 1920 1 fhe acepts nomina-
tion. The article makes interesting
reading, whatever your convictions:
The month of September of this
year is particularly a good month for
those who are born at the time of the
President, or those born between Dec.
21 to Jan. 20 of any year. To make a
trip at this time would be delightful,
as the planets would be in the most
advantageous positions for those in-
tending to meet with people, as is
the case with our President. After
September, other planets of a social
nature will favor him, but the planets
of an intellectual nature will favor
him most.
The sun planet had been in oppo-
sition to Woodrow Wilson’s birthday
sign for one month—from June 22 to
July 24 (last), and during this time
he had the most strenuous (Opposition
to his plans of any time sinte his re-
turn from Paris. On August 26, 1919
the sun planet began to help our
President and bring him more suc-
cess in his dealing and less opposi-
tion in the senate and elsewhere. The
fact is that Mr. Wilson’s most fortu-
nate period of his entire career is
about to take place at this time and
within the next few months, and also
more particularly, during 1920 and
1921. Almost all of the important
planets of the Zodiac will be in his
favor from this time on. ,
Under the good Influence of the
sun planet, Mr. Wilson will have one
of the best opportunities he has had
for some time to make his plans
clear to the people and congress. Dur-
ing this period of the sun’s rays and
magnetism, all people will be drawn
and attracted to hjm. After the
sun planet leaves Mr. Wilson’s birth-
day sign, other planets of a similar
nature will favor him.
Solomon says “There is a time for
everything under the sun,” and those
wlio ha We studied Astrology know
that these times are based upon Plan-
etary Periods and Cycles.
Mercury, the planet of Mind and
Clearness of thought wil enter his
helping humanity and fought the op-
position very successfully as no other
man could have done, even with the
aid of all the planets.
The writer predicts the peace trea-
ty and league of nations covenant will
be accepted without reservations and
amendments.
Furthermore, if the President ac-
cepts the nomination in 1920, he will
be elected by the people for the third
term.
Finally, after 1924 a one-party gov-
ernment without opposition is pre-
dicted.

leaf worm’s work in denuding the! favorite sign Virgo Sept. 9 to Sept. 26,
plant, will prove beneficial rather
than harmful, in (hat it will admit the
sunshine to enable the saving of the
matured bolls of early fruitage.
The crop in the south half of the
state is nearly a month late, as shown
in the comparatively little picking
and ginning done to date.
Mr. Gray gives the following re-
port of the condition of the north
Texas counties, which shows Parker
county leading in percentage:
Clay 78, Collin 55, Cooke 78, Dal-
las 53, Denton 71, Fannin 66, Gray-
son 66, Hunt 55, Jack 77, Kaufman
63, Montague 76, Palo IMnto 86, Par-
ker 90, Rockwall 48, Tarrant 87, and
Wise 88.
Mrs. A. L. Steel has received a mes-
sage stating that her brother, Captain
Albert I,. Jor.rr. of the medical corps,
has saiely landed In Hoboken. For
his return Certain Jones was assigned
to in .( ip :e regiment known as
"Persh'ng’! Own,” and had the honor
or making his homeward voyage on
the Leviathan.
and this will be a fine time for our
President to study, and think, and to
attend to work of a purely mental
character, for his mind will be ex-
ceptionally bright at this time.
It is the opinion of the writer that
it makes little difference to our Pres-
ident, even when the planets are not
favoring .him, as he is Just coming
out of a very strenuous period of his
life, in which the planets have been
at their most adverse angles to his
birthday sign, and still, with all the
opposition, he did not allow the plan-
ets to impede his progress, because
of his exceptionally strong will power
and common sense. No other maD
could have succeeded under the same
hazardous astrological period when
the Whole world depended upon good
judbment.
Saturn, caled the "evil planet” has
not helped Mr, Wilson since 1913.
For the two years previous to July,
1917, Saturn was passing thru Can:
cer, his most adverse sign, and he
may have witnessed many troubles
and adversities at this time, from
which he has not yet had time to re-
cover, but he will make rapid pro-
gress now since Saturn has reached
his most fortunate sign, Virgo, Aug.
13, (tfiis year) and from this date
on, for two and one half years he will
move forward with gieat speed men-
tally, physically and financially upon
most anything he undertake^. The
year beginning August, 1920, however,
will be the most advantageous.
In a recent edition of the Elmore,
Minnesota, Eye, the editor gives a
vivid portrayal of his lot on this ter-
restrial ball. The writer may have
either written in a jocular mood, or
he might have meant every word;
be that as it may, he is evidently
having his troubles. He should come
to Texas, where the life of an editor
is one continual round of pleasure.
His tirhde follows:
"An invoice of our condition, fol-
lowing the recent and yet present
strenuous times of war and recon-
structiQn, discloses the fact that the
newspapers are yet a great power for
good despite the fact that we have
been held up, held down, sand bag-
ged, walked on, sat on, flattened and
squeezed—first by the United States
government for publicity for war tax,
Liberty loan bonds,, excess profits
and income tax; for state, county and
city highway tax; for auto tax and
every other tax and syntax, and by
Avery society and organization that
inventive mind of man can invent to
extract from the newspapers their
stock in trade free for nothing; by
the society of John the Baptist, the
G. A. R., the Woman’s Relief, the
Men’s Relief, Relief for Stomach
Ache: the Navy League, the Red
Cross, the Iron Cross, the Double
Cross, and every other cross of all
colors, until a newspaper looks like
a Maltese cross®by the Y. M. C. A.,
the Old Folk’s home, the Children’s
Home, the Aid Society and every hos-
pital in the country.
The government has so governed
our busniess that we do not know who
owns it. We' have been inspected,
suspected, examined and re-examined,
informed, required and commanded
until we don’t know who, where or
why we are.
“All that we know is that we are
supposed to be possessed of an in-
exhaustible supply of ’white space'
for every known need, desire or hope no* earn
of the human race, and because we
will not give it all away and go out
and beg, steal or borrow money to
live on, we are cussed, discussed, boy-
cotted, talked to, talked about, lied
to, lied about, held up, robbed and
nearly ruined, and the only reason we
keep grinding on and getting out the
old sheet is Just to see what in heck
they will ask for next.”

Albany, N. Y., Sept. 10.—Officials
of the New York State Grange, rep-
resenting 125,000 farmers in a state-
ment issued here today placing re-
sponsibility for the high cost of liv-
ing upon labor declared that “an
economic adjustment must be made if
the world is to be fed and agriculture
preserved.” The indictment of all
workers except those engaged in ag
ricultural pursuits is made by Sher-
man J. Powell and W. N. Giles, mas-
ter and secretary, respectively, of
the grange, who allege that strikes
have been an important factor in rais-
ing the price of food, clothing and
shelter.
“The first factor in a happy life is
three meals every day,” says the
statement. “The next is adequate
clothing and housing to keep the body
warm. The war has only hastened
what every thinking agriculturalist
has seen for years was surely com-
ing. Rural workers have not receiv-
ed the support and encouragement
which the urban worker^ so easily
obtained in the form of better schools,
roads, churches, houses, shorter
hours and higher wages for work un-
der more favorable conditions. This
had the result of steadily drawing
trom the country its population to an
alarming degree. Now, instead of
going into a study of our situation and
developing a remedy, our laboring
brothers in the city purpose to rem-
edy our trouble by arbitrary measures
without any real knowledge of the
cost of producing the necessities of
life.

MODERN DANCE BRUTALLY
INDECENT BISHOP DECLARES
San Antonio, Texas, Sept. 2.—Mod-
ern dancing has been stamped as
“brutally indecent” and present day
ball rooms were declared to be an
“enemy to piety and Christianity” by
the Right Rev, Arthur J. Drossaerts,
bishop of San Antonio, in an address
to the Catholics of this diocese.
Proper dancing, with safe modera-
tion, is excluded by Bishop Dross-
aerts as a possible legitimate rela-
tion, but the modern steps’ are a “far
cry from the stately minuet and ele-
gant square dances preceding our
age,” he said.
The present mental restlessness is
flayed by the bishop, who declares
“we live only for pleasure; we dream
only of pleasure, and we are rushing
to destruction.”
“We are living in a decadent age,
,our music, literature and poetry, the-
inadequate pay in order that another' aters and art all bear the stigma of
class may have shorter hours and | degeneracy. The world is rushing

Austin, Texas, Sept. 10.—A depart-
ure from the ordinary in the handling
of rural schools was made recently
with the organization of the first dis-
trict under a new law. This district
is in Travis county and embraces
Pflugerville and four smaller schools.
The system to be used is very similar
to the ward school system of the cit-
ies. Ward schools will be maintain
ed at the four smaller places and at
Pflugerville, which also will have a
high school, where graduates from the
ward schools will attend. It is affili-
ated with the University of Texas.
The district voted a $47,000 bond is-
sue to carry out the plan.

When a class of men demand a high- land city parishes daily more and more
er wage although their labor does
it, some one else must pay,
and they become dishonest profiteers.
“We here challenge the city laborer
to a cost accounting that all the world
may see who earns his wage. Let
there be an authoritative cost ac-
counting of farm products and a wage
scale for labor the base of which shall
be its earning power.
“When wheat was $1 a bushel, one
bushel paid for a day’s work. Wheat,
by government fiat, is now $2.26 a
bushel, and it now requires from two
to three bushels to pay labor for one
day’s work. Again when wool was
30 cents a pound, allowing four
pounds for a suit of clothes, the farm-
er received for the product $1.20.
Figuring the cost of a suit of clothes
at $20, thirteen days labor at $1.50
per day paid for a suit. Today wool
is 65 cents a pound, four pounds
bringing $2.60, the amount received
by the farmer. The same suit of
clothing is now $40 and the laborer
can obtain a suit by eight days of
labor at $5 per day. These compari-
sons will hold good with every farm
product.
