now four cylinder 30-horso power auto
of Spauldlng"(Bros". as well as tho ser-
vices of John R. Spauldlng as a driv-
er for Labor Day for the purpose of
taking a spin over' as much of the
cotton producing terrltoryns was pos-
;slblo to cover In one day in trading dis-
tance of' Abilene. After Farmer Rus-
' sell had ioaded into tho car cotton buy-
ers Guy Wltherspoon and Floyd Bow-
ers tho latter Just recently coming here
from Nacogdoches to buy cotton this
season.' he had the machine steered
around to tho Reporter office and invi-
ted the farm editor to accompany them
on the trip but as said farm editor
was just as' that time busily engaged
endeavoring to earn a cheap meal pre-
paring a. weighty and concise article
tolling and demonstrating how easily
millions can bo made by properly tick-
ling the- bosom of mother earth with
the ploW-point another representative
' of the paper was selected whoso knowl
edge of matters portalnlng to farming
' 'does not extend much beydnd an abil-
ity to look" wise and keep his' ignor-
ance -on such hid behind closed lips
was substituted.
The fi.rst drive was made in a north
easterly direction to Hamby and from
that section to and down the famous
Deadman Valley for a considerable d'8-
. .tance then across to the Delk commu-
nfty. From this point the crowd was

a start was made tor- a tour- or tne
Caps Buffalo ;Gap TuBJcola;- Coats' and'
Ibe'rls communities but darkness .came
on before passing through the last
named two.
There has been lately some very
dark pictures drawn of the alleged de-
plorable condition of tho cotton c-
of some sections we visited In fact
sb.blaokthat the party ventured Into
these sections with fear and trembling
hut we were disappointed most agree-
ably so True in most places visited
a rain would Improve tho condition qt
cotton but nowhere in our opinion
was It beyond redemption everywhere
it was about 75 v per cent bettor than
we had expected or at least that
swas .the verdict of that part of our
crowd who plead guilty to knowing
something about the plant that yields-
the great white staple. North of Abi-
lene In many places cotton was found
.waist high having a healthy dark
green color wjth the stalks support-
ing many large bolls and decorated
with bqquets of red and white blossoms
In most places there was a good Btand
something that is not secured every
year.. In some places the leaves ate
shriveling and white 'spots are appear-
ing in the fields which as all know is
undlsputable evidence of the Immediate
need of rain. In approaching the Conr
lee plantation near Delk wo rah
neross tho high rod of thUvmagnlflcorit
farm Mr. "Vllilam Conlee bettor known
as Ju'st'plaln BUI. In reply to a Ques-
tion as to how It was with his cotton
ho remarkod that ho would probably
mako enough for table uso. After a
little coachlug he admitted that his
field of a lrundrod' and seventy-flvo
ncro might mako a bale to twenty
acres: The crowd wanted to see somo
real bad cotton and Insisted that Bill
mount .'the machlno and. accompany
them out to the field. After shying
around somoat ounjjasollne consum-
ing mfeons of locomotion like a young;
mule does at a weok's washing on the
lino ho accepted a Beat with ufl. The
cotton may look bad to Bill but. to
Farmer Russoll and tho. two buyers
as. well as Tho Reporter representa-
tive it had ;a mighty good appearance
ranking with tho very best we saw lu
tho day's drive. Bpforo wo loft Bill
admitted that "lie would make a. bao
to each flvo.or six acres. Vq would
be willing to stake the vacant place In
n doughnut that BUI would not take 'a
quarter of a' bale to tho acre for his
prospects today. He has a mighty prot

On tho proposition" of Mr. Dudley

secure all of the information possible
regarding- the establishment of same.
the plans etc. and furnish same to the;

but more of the-first named than we
had expected to" find. From Caps wo
went to Tuscola via Buffalo Gap No
man has seen nor can he appreciate
Taylor county until he has visited the
maEnlflcent Tuscola Valley. In thl val-
lby wo drove along by the side of fields
containing thousands of acres of cot-
ton. wblcti'waB beautiful to look upon.
Of course if ag ood rain had fallen
a few weekB'ngo It would have been
much more beautiful but seeing it as
It appears today you think pore of

riving at- Tuscola a heavy shower fell
hvr the creater nart of "the valley
which will result In great good for tho
cotton In that country Most or tno
distance on return to 'Abilene via Coats
and Iberls was after nightfall.
It has been our Intention In this nr-
tlclo to avoid exaggeration and If thero

our honest opinion that tho conditions
are not near po bad as a big majority-
of pepplehave been led to bgllove. IX

In every respect. Thore Is nothing
