Qzo 8. Anderson Proprietor
Any erroneous reflection upon the cbar
adec standing or reputation of any
person firm or corporation whfch'may
b appear in the columns of Th: Reporter
will be. gladly corrected on its being
brought to attention cf the publishers.
Abilene Texas Feburary 3 1905
Ellis county is to have an an-
nual fair at Ennis. While other
oounties are coming forward with
suoh enterprises we should be
boosting the West Texas Fair to
make it bigger and better year by
year.JBut a few oan not do all the
boosting. The -entire oitizenship
. must oome to the rescue and ev-
'ery man who can be induced to
stop and think about it will help
we believe.
What is going to be done about
having Taylor county authorized
by the legislature to vote an in-
creased road tax? It is time to
look after this. It should be un-
derstood that no additional road
and bridge tax can be levied un-
less a vote of the citizens of the
oounty authorizes it and no vote
oan be taken upon the question
unless the legislature authorizes
t the oounty to do it.
Caa do Better.
In sending a subaoriptiun to
Tho Reporter H. A. Bullock
. president of the Citizens Bank of
Port Royal Ky. says:
"Lsawin last Reporter that
one man in your oounty grew 100
bushels of corn on 10 aores of
land. Is that the best yield that
can b made on your land or is
there a mistake In the figures?"
It M probable true in the in-
iuMM referred to though that is
not our beet yield by ft whole lot
BovarW farmers in seotfons that
had rein in imam reported
yields of 25 to 4O bushels per
acre. . ' o
But it wJU be hard to make our
Kentucky reader understand why
thiB is not a good corn ' growing
country and is at the. same time
the most profitable cotton and
feed growing distriot in Texas
and possibly in ..the whole south-
west. f t
First the nights are too cool
for the best results in Indian
oorn and the air is too dry for
the pollen to properly fill the
grain. Oriental oorns suoh as
milo maize Kaffir corn Jerusa-
lem oorn eto do well milo maize
especially making two orops a
year and will yield from 40 to 75
bushels per acre per annum and
while it is not so strong as Indian
oorp it lacks only about 15 per
oent of it and is so sure a orop
that our farmers after thorough-
ly learning our country and its
capability usually grow it for all
kinds of feed.
The explanation of its superi-
ority over Indian corn is that the
bloom and seed are together and
the dry air does not interfere
with its fruiting.
Cotton and feed are so profit-
able here because they require
less than one-third of the wbrk
necessary in older dietriots fifty
aores in cotton being worked of-
ten by one man as well as otKer
orops. Nothing more is needed
to cultivate orops here than disp
or gang plows and oultivators
hoes not needed exoept to ohop
ootton to a Btand. Grass and
weeds gtoe pfaotloally no trou-
ble and a riding oultivator or any
other kind soon gets" over a fifty
acre field.
A farmer living here ten yearB
has averaged 14 bales of ootton I
per annum per hand while In the
boBt so-oalled-ootton distriot in
Texas where he farmed 20 years
he made only 5 to 8 bales per
hand per annum. Some farm
ersmany 01 them make Indian
oorn every year and

energetic successful

glad if he oan see it to his advan-

greater number feed their work

deal of work and considerable

John C. Ingle and family of
Eastern Washington are here
visiting the family of W. M.
Ingle a cousin. He lives 66 miles
southwest of Spokane in the
wheat distriot and has zero
weather every winter. He left
home the first of November go-
ing to St. Louis and other points
oast in Tennessee. "I am look-
ing for a warmer olimato and
thought I would find it at Abilene
but whop I got in last night and
While walking about today I

Reducing Cattle Crops.
Nelson Morris applauded en-
thusiastically in the convention
atDenver while JFrank Benton
the Colorado stookman noted
for his wit and the size of his
head gear.advanced a remedy for
existing trade evils. Here they
are in a nut shell: .
Cut down your herds one-half.
Instead of $30 to $35 per head
range cattle ought to be worth
$60 Make half as many and
make them twioe as good as now.
Eduoate the American people
to eat beef as welljlamb chops.
When reduoing herds out out
the sorub half. - ' '
Give the other half as muoh
feed as you are giving the whole
now.
Don't buy a grade bull. The
registered ones are not any too
good.
Keep your oattle growing all
the year round. You oan't do
;this on the open range. Sheep
and prairie dOp have eaten all
tho grass.
-r GettheElkins bill repealed.
Mr. Benton predioted that if
production of range oattle is out
in half within five years prices
would be above the oomplaint
level
H'Spay half our heifers for five
years and by that time they will
be importing breeding stook"

A New Fish Story.
The Reporter does not often
drop on to a new fish story but
one oame our way today.
On Thursday W. A. Minter Jrf
and two or three friends went
duok shooting and one which fell
to Mr.Minter was taken home to
be dressed and cooked.
The duok is of the oanvass-
baok variety a fine specimen
and had evidently just been fish-
ing as a peroh 10 1-4 inches long
was found in his mouth and
throat. This is aotual measure-
ment and not a guess we are as-
sured. This is tho first time we have
hoard of a duok swallowing a fish
whole one as long as that at
least and we think tho inoident
worth recording
