will be no depression until after

* When one reads of the various
scientific discoveries and the re-
sult of scientific experiments
with plant life the conclusion must
l»e that we are just at the dawn
of what will be in the future. The
worlds has been astonished at the
work of Luther Burbank, but now
South Carolina has a son who will
in all probability be a rival of
Burbank in revolutionizing the
plant world. Arthur W. Brab-
ham of Bamburg County, South
Carolina is engaged in the exper-
iment of raising colored cotton,
and it is claimed for him that he
has made considerable progress,
lie is now experimenting with
the problem of producing a black
otton. Mr. Brabham contends
there are already four distinct
tints of cotton produced in differ-
ent sections of the world and by
a hybridization of certain colors
he will be able to produce a black
cotton, which he regards as the
missing link in the basic colors of
his cotton scheme. It is stated
t at one large cotton manufact-
uring establishment in New En
gland, which consumes annually
120,000 bales of cotton for mer
Preparedness is the word now
Every new proposition which it
is desired to put through is pref-
aced in some way by the word
preparedness. Perhaps the pro-
jector can tell just how this pre-
paredness is to be accomplished
or perhaps he can not. But pre-
paredness is a word to conjure
with since the government wants
preparedness.
A much needed rain fell all
over the wheat growing section
of the State Monday and Tues-
day. While not a heavy rain it
will do much good and was in
time to help the growing wheat
crop.
Th6 government asks for over
a billion dollars. The increase is
almost wholly due to the adminis-
tration plans for preparedness.

Passing of the Cowboy.
Pittsburg Gazette Times: Jo-
seph G. McCoy was credited, in
the brief ispatch noting his death
the other day with having “laid
out the 1,000-mile trail from Tex
as to Abilene, Kansas, over which
more than 10,000.000 cattle were
driven.” Whether he was really
the first to drive a herd of “long
horns” over that truly historic
highway, the scene of the hugest
it seems clear that of that epic
age of the plains he could say:
“All this I saw and of much was
I a part.”
Made by nature for cattle breed-
ing, producing in good years nine-
ty-five calves to each 100 cows,
the Texas grazing lands at the
close of the civil war were ten-
anted by millions of cattle with-
out definite market or determi-
nate value. Demand for an out-
let was imperative and the only
way was to the north. The build-
ing of the Kansas Pacific railway
made abilehe and Ellsworth the
first great meeting points of the t
locomotive and the “longhorn.”
University of Texas, Dec. 6.
The Department of Extension of
the University of Texas, for
number of years has been send-
ing out lanterns and sets of slides
to be used in the schools of the
State. At first, the demand for
lanterns was not very great and
it was possible to fill nearly all
the requests. Within the last few
years, however, the value of the
illustrated lecture has been real-
ized more and more by the teach-
ers of the State, and the demand
for lanterns and slides has be-
come so great that it has been im-
possible to fill half of the re-
quests. After mature considera-
tion, the following plan has been
adopted: Whenever five neigh-
boring schools will combine into
a circuit and purchase a lantern,
the University will agree to send
|them during the year eight sets
of slides. Two sets of slides,
enough for an evening’s pro
gram, will be sent together each
time. Each circuit of five schools
will be allowed to keep the slides
two wreeks, during which time

age of the world’s history has
there been found greater need of

I shall attain unto wise counsels.”

merely a marketing; it was also
an exodus. From Texas came
the pressure that swept the Indiai
aside and destroyed the bison
herds. Owing to climatic condi-
tions Texas did not mature steers
ready-for the butcher’s block.
But transplanted to the njorth the
“double "wintered” the “long-
horn” took on flesh like a “na-
tive.” The climax of the period
came in 1884, when over 300
herds, or nearly 800,000 head,
crossed the Red River, bound for
the Northwest, requiring for their
guiding and guarding about 4,000
men and over 30,000 horses.
It was work for men ready to
live hard and often die suddenly.
It was a time when fortunes were
won fast and faded swiftly. It fas
tened upon the popular imagina-
tion the figure of the cowboy be-
side that of the forty-niners. It
had its heroes and its villians and
its bards. A Texas college profes-
sor has collected their rude songs.

of a Cowboy,” “The Outlet,” and
Red Anthony,” are fiction only

seph McCoy, not yet 80, had seen
it all, from eager beginning to
valiant flower and inglorious end
in a multitude of sordid and often
bloody little feuds.
