South Texas is again converting
its salubrious atmosphere and
sunshine into cash through the
medium of its watermelons and
contaloupes. And w hen the
Northerner closes his lips on them
he cannot fail to remark that the
quality of the air and the sun-
shine down here is something re-
markable.—Beeville Bee.
The farmer who can patronize
a smokehouse on his own prem-
ises, who can depend on his own
corn crib, who has his own hay
stacks, who has his own cattle,
hogs and poultry, does not have
to worry himself into nervous
prostration, does not have to can-
cel his subscription to his county
paper when the boll weevil gets
tangled up with his cotton crop.

In this issue will bo found a
jommunication from Mr. Win.
Stein, of New Berlin, on the sub-
ject of the boll weevil. Mr. Stein
urges that all the farmers make
haste to pick up the fallen squares.
This, he says, will keep the pest
from multiplying so rapidly. As
each boll weevil deposits from
-iihi to 130 eggs it will readily be

MASONIC ITKMS.
Following interesting Masonic
Items taken from theTexas Free-
mnson and will be read with iti- j
terest by Masons:
The profane world judges ma-1
sonry by the deportment of its
members. Is yours such as to
cause a favorable or unfavorable
opinion?
When you are sick and the
brethren fail to call on you, have
you a good cause for complaint;
or are you only being paid back
in your own coin of neglect?
We believe that one of the most
effective preventatives of that
cankerous masonic disease, non-
affliation, is to start out a newly ther should you see him err
made freemason as a reading
mason.
Probably one of the very hard-
est lessons for a freemason to
learn is to quietly submit to the
decision of an adverse ballot
when it affects a man for whom
he has great friendship.
There is nothing of hatred and
vindictiveness in the teachings of
freemasonry. All is love; love
of Creator and fellow m in. There
are no threats of punishment;
only promises of reward.
I >on't display the emblems of
the order to attract attention to
your business. Brothers should
patronize the business of their
fellows in preference without such
suggestions.—Kxchange.
If any one is desirous of being
a mason in tho strictest sense of,, , , .

To The Farmers of Guadalupe
County.
As I have acquired consider-
able information in regard to the
Boli (or Mexican) Weevil by
actual experience and observa-
tion, I wish to state a few plain
facts.
Seven years ago, I went to San
Patricio county to investigate the
effect of the work of this pest.
It had just made its appearance
in Texas, having crossed tho liio
< irande from Monclova, Mexico,
where it is supposed to have ori-
ginated. From that time on I
have watched all moves of the
pest and have also conversed
with Prof. Mally about the wee-
vil and the best methods for its
destruction.
But this is not what we want to
know just now. We want a remedy
"a sure enough one," one that,
will work right now. Well, here
it is:
"Pick up the dead squares and
burn them to-day. Do not wait
for to-morrow or for your neigh-1
bor to make a start."
Kxperimenting with posion is
all very well, but poison is ex-
pensive and troublesome and
takes time, besides a shower of
rain will destroy the effect of poi-
son and necessitates doing the
work all over again. So with
your family go into the cotton
field, pick up the squares and
burn them, liemember that right
now is the time to do this, as the
weevil that has wintered with us
has deposited its eggs and dis-
appeared.
Pick u| the squares every week
for three weeks in succession,
and you will have destroyed the
weevils in your field.?. You need
not fear that the weevils will come
from your neighbor's field, as
they do not begin travel before
the middle of July and August,
so that by that time your cotton
will have put on a good crop.
The cost of picking by actual
test in my own field, at the rate
of sixty cents a day for labor,
amounted to only fifteen cents
per acre. Now, to pick the cot-
ton over three times would make
the cost per acre forty-five cents.
Now, farmers, do not loose
your entire crop for this small
amount, but got to work.

Many plans are suggested for
keeping convicts busy without
bringing them into competition
wit honost workmen. It seems to
us that prison authorites might
find a solution of their questions
in the education of prisoners. If
prison life could be made to
diminish criminal tendencies, as
well as to punish criminals, the
taxes of the people would certain-
ly be better spent than at present,
('rime in the majority of cases, is
the result first, of ignorance, and
second, of a lack of mental dis-
cipline. If the prisons could
educate and discipline their in-
mates, crime would sf.eadily do
crease and the problem of occupy-
ing prisoners wisely would be
solved.-—New York Journal.

It used to be a good news item
when a farmer raised two crops
on the same piece of ground in
Texas in one year, but now, un-
less he ra'ses three crops on the
same piece of ground, or even
four, it is not much of an item.
In this section of Texas farmers
raise a crop of potatoes in the
spring, a crop of Mexican June
corn in the summer and a crop of
turnips in the late fall. After
they are through with that they
sometimes sow a crop of barley
for winter pasture. Texas is pro-
lific—especially in this section.—
I >onison I lerald.
Texas has just completed her
annual shipment of strawberries
to Kastern people and is now
sending peaches to be followed
soon by melons. Just what the
balance of the country would do
without grand old Texas no fellow
knows. N ot there were m en
claiming to have sense along in
the annexation days that widly
proclaimed the annexation of
Texas would destroy the Republic
and pave the way for an emper-
or. Some of the men are living
to-day and the children of all of
them doubtless would like for
their records to be destroyed. - L
