Mr. Pierce Laughter reports
his rice crop on the west of the
Lavaca exceedingiy fine. He
has 100 aeres that is how over
waist high and will begin to
bead very soon. Mr. Laughter
also states that he is getting
all the water needed from his weS
for the rice. The rice crops of
Noblest Willett and Lowery &
Pickering are also reported jn
good shape:—Edna Progress.
J. H Connell, Frank Nusome
tells us that be counted the
matured bolls on twenty stalks
of each of three varieties of cot-
ton, all planted on the same day, ,
on the same kind of land and re-
ceiving the same cultivation.
An early,variety averaged 23
bolls to the stalk, the Russell
big. boll variety > averaged 17
and a native variety averaged
16 boTls. Mr. Nusocir however,
says that in his opinion the
yield will be about the same,: as
the early variety has - rather
small bolls. He says he has
about. 550 acres in cotton this
year and that the averages
above mentioned is a pretty fair
estimate of most of bis "crop.
Taking this as a basis he feels
pretty sure of gathering a good
yield, provided wet weather does
not interfere and rot tlve bolls.—

Allowing excerpt is from the

week: . . 7 y/:.//// ■ *•'
There are many bushefs^of to-
matoes here decaying from day
today. I purchased a canning
outfit to experiment with, but so
far have been urable to have any
cans made in Texas, and it will
be too late to send to 'the East
for them. As a last resort we
are pressing the juice from the
tomato With the hope of making
vinegar. ; Can you furnish ’ a
recipe for making vinegar from
tomatoes?—Wm. Blakes,lee, ".Sec-
retary jHallottsvilie Truck Grow-
ers' Association...
Aus.—We never made vinegar
from tomatoes, but presume the
juice would require about one
pound of sugar, or syrup to a
gallon of juice, and be exposed
to ait in open end barrels cover-
ed with gunny sacks, and kept in
a warm placg. It might be
advisable also to use a little
baker's yeast to start the fer-
mentation . We do hot. speak, bv
authority, but would not j hes-
itate to try this method; V /
Mr. Blakeslee; propounded the
question to the Texas Farm and
Rgnch several weeks since but - it
only appeared the v past; week.
In the meantime he,, went ahead
and pressed his tomatoes for
vinegar and so far is well pleased
with the result; It is a: sparkl-
ing liquid with a bright : color
and very .much like vinegar; ex-
cropt that it does not possess
the charp taste. This <vil|> come-
however with fermentation and
he is confident now that toma-
toes will make a superior vine-
gar as it vfiil be the pure juice
entirely.' • • • y My;./ '—
It he makes a success it will
open another avenue for the dis-
posal of tomatoes. / After mark-
lting al| tbstfi can be shipped at
profitable pfices the surplus can
be canned and pressed for vine-
gar. There is a quiet movement

From some indications there will,
be something doing in a manu-
factufuring way.
O. B. Haynes, who was here
Sunday, is particularly enthusi
astic over crop prospects in the
Chdrco country/ With plenty of
corn and every indication of a
good yield of cottou he thinks
the farmers are going to be ip
fine shape.—Runge News.
H. H. Striebeck left Sunday for

gage in business for himself. Mr.’
