No Signs of Reduced
Cotton Acreage Here
Inquiry into the matter of whether
the cotton acreage in Bosque county
will be reduced this year, as is-being
advocated by practically all econom-
ists, fails to reveal evidence that there
will be any appreciable reduction of
acreage if present plans of the farm-
ers are carried out.
Destruction of some grain by the
January blizzards has resulted in many
acres being left for cotton that other-
wise would not have so been utilized.
Increased corn acreage will absorb
some of this land, but one person in
* position to know goes so far as to
state that in his behalf there will be a
slight increase unless the farmers
alter their intentions.
While Bosque county is not prima-
rily a cotton raising county, if the
cotton acreage is increased or even if
not reduced here, this county will show
lack of co-operation in a sweeping pro-
gram for reduction which many au-
thorities declare is an economical ne-
cessity. A movement is under way to
secure cotton reduction here, if pos-
sible.
Victor Schoffelmayer, farm editor
of the Dallas News and Semi-Weekly
Farm News, states:
“If Texas should plant the same
acreage in 1930 as in 1929 (18,912,000
acres) and the average yield be that
of the last five years we would have a
production of 4,600,000 bales.
“If the United States should plant
last year’s acreage (47,569,000—45,-
981,000 harvested) and the yield be
the United States five-year average,
we would see a crop of 16,200,000
bales. If the yield should be that of
1926 (182.6 pounds per acre) we might
have 17,000,000.
“In either case with the carry-over
of American cotton in the world
(5,000,000 bales) we would either have
a total of 21,200,000 bales or 22,000,-
000 bales to dispose of. In that case
the price very easily might be 10
cents a pound or less.”

Much of interest about early days in
Bosque county is contained in the
notes left by the late T. B. Willing-
ham, who recently died at Dallas, and
who for many years was a citizen of
the Kimball section. The notes, fur-
nished by courtesy of his daughter,
Miss Velma Willingham, of Dallas,
follow:
I, Thomas Brooks Willingham, was
born in Polk county, Georgia, on a
farm near New Harley creek, Febru-
ary 16, 1846, the fifth son and sixth
child of Brooks Moon Willingham.
Later we lived in Cedar Town for
seven years, until we came to Texas.
There were eight children in the
family, seven boys and one girl. Three
of these are buried in Georgia, Antioch
churchyard; the sister, Martha Mar-
garet, who died at the age of twelve
years, a baby and Emmet Hezekiah.
John and Isaach Willingham, my older
brothers, came to Texas in the spring
of 1859. They came home enthusi-
astic about Texas and persuaded my
father to make plans to move here.
On September 18, 1859, four of the
brothers left Cedar Town for Texas in
a hack or light wagon. They were
John, Isaac, Willson and myself, a
young slave woman Julia Ann Thomp-
son came with us and of course we
brought our dog. Our ages were
from eleven to nineteen. John and
Isaac had fiddles and played many eve-
nings before our camp fire. It was a
great adventure for me. We passed
through Tuskaloosa, Alabama and
Jackson and Vicksburg, Mississippi.
Then to Shreveport, Louisiana, on to
Marshall, Corsicana, and Hillsboro,
and to Meridian, Texas, our destina-
tion. We arrived there November 8,
1859.
John had a clerkship with Joe
Smith, a merchant at Meridian. There
was nothing for the others of the
party to do but wait for my father
and mother to arrive.
Father-' and mother came in the
spring of 1860 by the way of New
Orleans, Galveston and Houston. The
Galveston, Houston and Henderson
railroad was the only one in Texas,
fifty miles long. From Houston they
came to Meridian in a wagon. With
them were my brother Augustus and
his family
We stayed at Meridian six months.
One of the incidents I remember was
that Indians came during the light of
the moon and stole horses.
On the fourth of July, 1860, my
father bought a lot (at auction) in
Kimball, T as, paying fifty dollars
for it. It is the first lot sold in
Kimball. E- put up a building and
went into the dry goods business. The
older boys stayed with him. Also he
bought some land and two thousand
sheep; and to my younger brother
Willson and myself fell the ancient
task of herding sheep. (I was thir-
teen at the time.)
But the blizzards of those days and
the wolves played havoc with the
sheep. Wolves' would attack them
during the day and I would shoot at
them with a rifle and killed many
wolves. _
So sheep raising proved unprofitable
and my father sold what he had. This
left me free for my favorite pastime
—hunting. I would take my gun and
spend hours on the hills and in the
ravines' near Kimball bringing home
deer, antelope, and wild turkeys.
In December, 1861, at the age of
fifteen, I joined the Confederate army.
I belonged to Company I, 10th Texas
Infantry. I was first stationed at
Virginia Point, Galveston. During
the summer my company was1 ordered
to Arkansas. We marched from Mil-
ligan, Texas, to Little Rock, then to
Duvall’s Bluff on White river. Here
we stayed one winter. We were
transfered to Arkansas Post where a
battle was fought and we were all cap-
tured, January 11, 1863. We were
put on transports on the Mississippi
river and taken to Alton, Illinois.
There we were transferred to stock cars
and carried to Camp Douglas, Chicago,
arriving January 28, 1863.
I stayed at Gamp Douglas prison
exactly two months; for on March 28,
1863, I escaped with my brother Isaac
and Norman S. Clardy. This was
made possible with the aid of a guard
who placed his musket against the
wall of our prison and taking us by
the feet raised us until we could get
on top of the prison wall.
Then began the race for Dixie with-
out money or friends and twelve hun-
dred miles to be footed.
We almost froze the first night and
did not get two- miles from prison.
For every time we made a start we
would find ourselves in a neck of land
on Lake Michigan and would have to
retrace our steps. Ice was every-
where.
The next morning each of us had a
pop corn ball for breakfast and start-
ed south following the Chicago and
Alton railroad tracks. In two days
we had made forty miles. We had
twelve dollars left (four dollars each).
At Joilet, Illinois we got on a train,
gave our money to the conductor and
told him to carry us as far as he
could.
Yanks were sitting all around us.
We passed through Springfield, Illi-
nois at daybreak. The station was
blue with yankee deserters who were
going back to the Union Army be-
cause President Lincoln had issued a
proclamation pardoning all deserters
who returned by a certain date. I
rode on the same seat with a federal
soldier the entire distance. I told him
I was hunting work, then when he
wanted to talk I feigned sleep.
The conductor put us off below
Springfield, at Carlinsville. Again we
walked on the Chicago and Alton rail-
road tracks. We crossed the Miss-
issippi at Lily’s landing in a skiff; a
small boy rowed us across and Clardy
gave him fifty cents.
Then we made our way to Washing-
ton county, Missouri, near the old
mines, and stopped with Jeptha John-
son, an uncle of Clardy. He kept us
hidden three days in his loft; he
bought us shoes and other needed ar-
ticles of clothing.
Another favor from Mr. Johnson was
to tell us of a place where we could
spend the night about twenty-five
miles away (a day’s walk). We told
this family who we were and they
would tell us where we could stay the
next night. In this way we passed
through Missouri and the Union lines.
We were fortunate in never being
asked to show our papers.
At Clarksville, Texas, I stopped a
few days with an aunt and was offered
a pony to ride home but I refused it
thinking I could walk faster. I went
on to Dallas, was directed to the Cedar
Hill road and from Cedar Hill went to
Old Buchanan and arrived at Kimball,
Bosque county, May 10,, 1863. You
can imagine how glad I was to see my
mother.
In September of that year my father
gave me a horse and I joined the Fifth
Texas Partisan rangers, commanded
by Col. L. M. Martin. I was discharg-
ed at Richmond," Fort Bend county,
Texas, May, 1865.
• The first year after the war I work-
ed for my brothers, who were in the
general merchandise business in Kim-
ball. I worked the first year for sev-
enty-five dollars and at the end of the
year I had saved forty dollars. I con-
sidered myself a thrifty young man.
I married Miss Thursa L. Gatewood
on February 19, 1867. She died Oc-
tober 31, 1903. There were six chil-
dren. She was the daughter of Berry
Gatewood, who came to Texas from
Tennessee about two years after my
father arrived.
I spent a year handling goods from
the coast. I farmed a short time.
Then I went into the merchandise
business and spent many busy con-
tented years with my life work, a work
I liked.

pressure of 800 feet. The depth at
which this production was encountered
was 2270 feet and a short time before
the flow was guaged Friday a 40-
