Kingsville, Tex, Jan. lit That the
territory tributary to the Frisco lines
in Texas is especially adapted to the
producton of Irish potatoes, is the
film conviction of the offlcals of that
system. Last Hummer Presdent B. I..
Winchell of the Frisco lines became
convinced that a much larger quan-
tity of potatoes could he produced
along his lines Texas ami that their
production would result In material
profit to the farmers as well as to
the railroad company. After investi-
gating the situation thoroughly, Mr
Winchell requested Assistant General
Manager William Doherty to outline
plans for a campaign designed to
bring about a greater potato produc-
tion in Frisco territory
Careful plans were laid by the ex-
perts of the Frisco agricultural, and
a number of meetngs have been held
at various points along the line The
result Is that there will be a material
ncrcase In potato acreage this year.

Notwithstanding tiie sudden advent

It was announced that the grocery
merchants and most other business
houses had agreed to close their
stores for an hour during the day ser-
vice from this time till the close of
the meeting, in order to give their
help as well as themselves an oppor-
tunity to attend By an almost unan-
imous vote the congregation decided
that the hour from 2 to 3 p. m was

stated that the most ami he hoped all

explain to them in detail the safest,

than would be possible by personal

"T'HE NUMBER of new accounts which we are receiving
is most gratifying, and with our increasing facilities we
are prepared to take care of all the further business which
may come to us, and solicit your patronage.
there is riot a merchant in Bay City
who would stoop Io such methods of
competition. The grocerymen were
thanked for their consideration, and
ilte housewives were urged to send or
phone lu their orders In the evening,
so that the goods can be packed up
ready for delivers next morning The
merchants have kindly agreed Io tie-
commodate us, and now It Is up to us
to accommodate them Above all, let
nobody go shopping between 2 and 3
o'clock in the afternoon. Select some
other hour during the continuance of
this meeting
Dally prayer meetings for the ladles
at homes designated each day were au..
nounced, one each in the eastern,
western, southern and northern part
of the city, to commence at 3;3(l each
afternoon.
Evangelist Ham took occasion Io an-
nounce tints far ahead that there is
to be a great meeting for men only
m xt Sunday afternoon. In this con-
nection he stated that dining both
last year and the year before there
were more men than women converted
at the Hatn-llamsay revivals. Those
who have followed the trend of the
sermons tints far in this meeting can
readily understand this. Bro. Ham
preaches a robust Gospel, powerfully
appealing to robust manhood

the writer ha.| the pleasure of conver-
sing with Mr Abel B Pierce over sev-
eral subjects of interest We found
in Mr. Pierce a very affable gentle-
man and one of the most enthulsas-
tlc builders it has been our good for-
tune to meet. Not only does he be-
lieve in building Blessing and Bless-
ing territory, but he has a good word
for all parts of the country and thinks
out loud about the future greatness
of our commonwealth
During our conversation we were
impressed witli Mr. Pierc'e plan of
settling the vast domain of rich soil ]
surrounding Blessing , of wltich he
lie owns a goodly portion, to actual,
cotton and corn farmers
Mr. Pierce says ho prefers the man
who can take care of from 100 to
200 acres to all others. He has two
reasons for this preferment. In the
first place the plan is to settle coun-
try with a more dense population,
thereby benefit tine, everybody, and in
tiie second place, it bespeaks a better
and more intensive cultivation of the
soil. He cited an Instance where one
man of his acquaintanceship last year
made 11 bales of cotton on 12 acres
of land while another one of his ac-
quaintances made 11 hales on 100
acres, “What’s the use," observed
Mr. Pierce, “of a man working ills life
out tin 100 acre i for 11 bales when he
can got the same off 12 acres? It
is all science and system," lie added
He told of another man who came
to Blessing broke and discouraged,
and was about to leave. Mr. Pierce
had a lot of corn nnd staked this
gentleman to money with which to
buy hogs. This was two years ago.
Tiie man made goorl, lived while he
was making good and has now two
carloads of hogs to ship to market.
There were dozen of similar cir-
cumstances which lie related to us,
but his plan of selling land is what
we wanted to tell.
"Take for example," said Mr. Pierce
“the man who comes here with $2000.
Say he wants 100 acres of hind at
$30 per acre. Now the customary rule
of selling that land would be one-
third or one thousand down, the bal-
ance at S per cent per annum, leav-
ing the man only one thousand to op
Ing the man oly one thousand to op-
erate on.
“Now, I don’t do that I sell him
the land at $30 per acre and only re-
quire 1-10 down, or $300. The balance
Is payable In 10 years nt 6 per cent
per annum. What have I done? I
have sold the man a place he is sure
to pay for at the same time allowing
him to retain $1700 of his original

It has been clearly demonstrated by
past experience that Irish potatoes
can be produced in the gulf coast
country of Texas at a time when they
command very high prices and, inaa-
initcii as the crop is off the land In
time for a second one to follow it, it
is considered one of the most profit-
able truck crops that can bo grown.
