The Jacksboro News
VOL. XV JACKSBORO, JACK COUNTY, TEXAS, THURSDAY, December 15, 1910. No. 30.
v- Something Still More About Grass-
Editor Jacksboro News:
Upon the subject of grass, I have
been user of and grower of grass as
well as cattle and horses and I have
always found the three work well
together when there was plenty of
water supply. Also the quality of
grass, Mesquite, blue grass, ber-
muda or even Johnson grass is
good when plenty of water is sup-
plied, so the question of water
comes in as well as grass, and how
to supply it.
It has been my fortune or mis-
fortune whichever you please to
call it, to supply a dryer country
than Jack county with water to
raise grass as well as other crops.
I have built a monument to my-
self at Las Animas, Col. in the
shape of a ditch known as the Jones
ditch. Any one having curiosity
enough can write to John D.
Rhodes, not John D. Rockefeller,
as to the amount of water supply
and the number of people living
under the ditch and using water
from it. As to the taxable value
of that locality nowand at the time
before the ditch was put in there
is hardly any comparison. Before
the ditch was put in the land had
practically no value, $1.25 an acre,
and it is now rendered at from $75
to $125 an acre. Besides the crops
that grow on it, which jutisfies the
price of the land.
Mr. Editor, within a few miles
of Jacksboro I visited one of your
best farmers, living on the old
Luttrell place. AmoLng other
, things I asked him about was what
amount of money in dollars and
cents would come to his part, he
paying the fourth as rent. His re-
ply was in the nei ghborhood. of $13
an acre for his share. Add a fourth
to that and you will have $18 for
the crop this year. Now to sup-
ply that with plenty of water, what
would have been the result, plant-
ed iu cotton corn, sugar beets, or
Gets Prize for Corn.
Decatur, Texas, Dec. 2—R. E.
Florida of Greenwood, this county,
was here today and said that his
son, Carrol Florida, had received
from the Dallas Fair management
a check for $40, representing $25
Northwest Texas sweepstakes prize
given jointly by the Fair manage-
ment and the State Bankers Asso-
ciation on corn in the Boys Corn
Club contest, and $15 as first prize
on seed corn, both prizes being
won by Carroll Florida.
Mr. Florida said that careful
measurment of the ground and the
total yield of the acre whjch his
boy conducted under Government
instructions developed the fact that
ninety six bushels and thirty six
pounds of corn had been made.
Asked what he thought the corn
was worth, he said the boy was al-
ready receiving inquiries by mail
for seed from faimers over the
State who had seen the information
of the prize winning published in
the Dallas News, and that he had
been offered locally $1.50 per
bushel for large lots of the corn
from which, the sweepstakes speci-
mens were selected. No doubt the
corn could and will be sold for
$1.50 per bushel, so that inclusive
of the prize money,young Florida’s
corn experiments this year will
have paid him $184 gross for the
acre. The cost of production was
small.

A Simple Safegara for Mothers.
Mrs. D. Gilkeson, 326 Ingles
Ave., Youngstown, Ohio, gained
wisdom by experience. “My little
girl had a severe cold and coughed
almost continuously. My sister re-
comended Foley’s Honey and Tar.
The first dose I gave gave her re-
lieved the inflamation in her throat
and after using only one bottle her i
throat a?d lungs were entirely free
from inflamation. Since then J al-
ways keep a bottle of Foley’s Honey

substitutes. New Drug Store.
HORTICULTURE FOR WOMEN.
Miss Frances Duncan, a society
woman of Boston, thinks that horti-
culture is fine for women, but she
gives them a hint that ihay be of
use. She says that many women liv-
ing in Italian villas surround them
with Dutch gardens, which is, of
course, not at all proper. The work
of gardening, she says, requires skill
and knowledge, rather than great
strength, and consequently most
women are equal to it.
Ends Winter's Troubles.
To many, winter is a season of
trouble. The frost bitten toes and
fingers 'chapped hands and lips,
chilblains, cold sores, red and rough
skins, prove this. But such trou-

HE NEEDED 80ME OF IT.
j William Knox, architect, revels in
;a Scotch story he picked up this
igummer about a temperance lecturer
[who used for illustration a glass of
'water, a glass of whisky and a box of
ilive worms. He would drop a worm
into the water and show how it wrig-
jgled. Then, dropping it into the
whisky, he would acclaim: “There!

over.”
