Folly of Continuous Cropping.
A man near my home worked
away for months clearing up a
piece of land that had grown up
to brush, cutting the green stuff
and hauling off the stone, until
he had a fine lot nicely brought
under cultivation. I saw this
field after it was plowed and it
certainly did look fine.
This piece of land the man
planted to potatoes, and dug an
excellent crop. The owner of
the farm told with considerable
pride in his voice how many
bushels he had taken from the
field. “It paid me for all my
work—that one first crop/’
But where he made a mistake
was in putting potatoes on that
lot the next season. It seemed
as if he must have thought:
“Now I have got a thing, I’ll
make the most of it.” For three
successive years that farmer kept
the fields under the harrow, each
time planted the same crop—pota-
toes. The other day I passed
that way, and I never saw a more
completely demoralized piece of
land than that was. Outlook for
a crop was dubious indeed. One
year more and the white bean
period will have been reached.
Now, if that man had just
taken off one, or at most two
crops, and then seeded the land
down it would have been a good
piece of ground for many years.
If I ever had a marked example
of what continuous cropping will
do for a field it was right there.
It pays to adopt a good rotation
—pays the man who owns the
land now and the one who will
be its master tomorrow.—Agri-
cultural Epitomist.
Intensive Farming.
Now comes a North Carolina
farmer of the intensive farming
kind, with a record of 227 bush-
els of corn to the acre, which is
going some. No farming coun-
try can be prosperous and buy
its feed and produce, and our
farmers should more keenly real-
ize this fact. Plant more feed
stuffs for both man and beast,
and farming will be much more
satisfactory. Raise the standard
of your crops, and add a few for-
age patches around the place.—
Teague Tribune.
North Carolina farmers dis-
covered years ago that they
could’t make decent livings by
following the harum-scarum
methods so long in vogue in that
and other Southern states. Their
lands ran down, their homes,
fences and out-houses dilapidat-
ed, and poverty and discontent
stalked the fields and loitered by
the roadsides. That was fifteen
or twenty years ago, after cot-
ton had settled down to what
seemed like starvation prices.
Then a few good farmers with
good intelligence began experi-
menting with the intensive sys-
tem, and their success led others
to follow. The result is that ag-
riculture in North Carolina is to-
day a thriving industry and
many farmers have grown rich
off farms that were not worth
taxes ten years ago.—Dallas
News.
This is the second week of
county court, and so great has
been the interest that the judge
moved the entire proceedings to
the district courtroom, where the
juries, attorneys, witnesses and
litigants have had more room and
greater comfort than could be se-
cured in the little room usually
devoted to the county court. The
following cases have been dis-
posed of up to the time of going
to press:■
State vs. J. T. Shedd, gaming;
dismissed on motion of county
attorney.
State vs. Murray Cantrell,
gaming; dismissed by county at-
torney.
State vs. R. F. Copeland, gam-
ing; dismissed by county attor-
ney.
State vs. Will Phelps, aban-
doning wife; hung jury and mis-
trial entered.
State vs. Slim Edmonson, un-
lawfully pursuing occupation of
selling, by ordering, intoxicating
liquors in local option territory;
fine of $6,000.00 assessed and
ninety days in jail. Notice of
appeal given, and recognizance
bond of $6,000.00 made and en-
tered into.
State vs. Garrett Hallenbeck,
aggravated assanlt; fined $25.00
on a plea of guilty.
State vs. Emzy Hallenbeck,
aggravated assault; dismissed on
motion of county attorney.
D. Sachs & Son vs. Otto
Fehrenkamp, suit on account;
judgment for plaintiff by default.
Paul Jones & Co. vs. Lampas-
as Liquor Co., suit on account;
judgment for plaintiff by default.
D. A. Fowler, who formerly
lived at the rock house three miles
east of Lampasas, but now lives
in Atascosa county, sends his
regards and his subscription to
The Leader, for which he will ac-
cept thanks. It is reported that
Mr. Fowler still orders his imple-
ments from the hardware dealers
of Lampasas, finding nothing
quite so good in his home terri-
tory, although he is only a short
distance from the great city of
San Antonio.
The announcement of T. H.
Haynie as a candidate for re-
election to the office of city sec-
retary appears in this issue. Mr.
Haynie is a careful and pains-
taking official and has spent a
| large part of his life in a clerical
! capacity. He keeps the books
up-to-date, and is always polite,
accommodating and efficient in
his work. He will appreciate
your vote and influence.
The young ladies of the bridge
whist club met with Mrs. Yillard
Campbell yesterday afternoon.
Miss Cynthia White carried off
the trophy, a gold and white vase.
Besides the members, only Mrs.
Hubbard and Mrs. A. V. Kellogg,
Houston, were present. The re-
freshments were chicken salad
on lettuce leaves, pickles, wafers,
cheese straws and hot tea. The
club will meet next week with
Miss Ila Campbell.
A. Brown, of the McCreaville
section, was in Saturday and
made The Leader a pleasant call.
He owns a splendid piece of land
where he resides, but often ex-
presses a desire to get nearer to
market, as he believes in inten-
sive farming, truck raising and
producing good poultry and other
marketable products. That is
the way to succeed.
The announcement of Villard
Campbell as a candidate for al-
derman of Ward No. 1, appears
today. He desires to fill the un-
expired term of Joe Massey, who
has moved out of the ward. Mr.
Campbell is a young man of good
natural and acquired ability,
well educated, skilled in accounts
and has large property interests
in the city. He was educated at
school here and at Cherokee, Tex,,
and took a business course at a
commercial college in Illinois.
He is well qualified to fill the of-
fice to which he aspires, and asks
your support and influence,
promising to use his best efforts
for the progress and develop-
ment of the interests of the city.
An exposition of the manufact-
uring industries of any city in
Texas is of large interest, for the
showing it makes to the public
of our advancement along that
line. Texas is not counted
among the manufacturing States,
but it is a fact that we are grow-
ing more and more independent
of the factories of the East, and
are making at home a large part
of the finished products, our
people consume.—Gainesville
Hesperian.
Lee Brown has opened a shop
for making and repairing shoes,
just across the street from the
postoffice, and will appreciate
your orders for any work in this

E. J. Moseley and Miss Minnie
Caddel, from the line of Coryell
and Lampasas counties, were
married Thursday just at noon,
while seated in their buggy on
the square, Rev. H. H. Packer
conducting the marriage service
in the presence of a number of
witnesses who assembled for the
purpose of wishing the newly
wedded pair a happy journey
through life.
Charlie Miller, now living in
Panhandle section of Texas, in
sending a remittance to The
Leader says: “We are always
glad to get The Leader and I be-
lieve it is one of the best county
papers in Texas.” Mr. Miller
was raised in this county, is a
son of M. F. Miller of the Ath-
eron neighborhood, and is mana-
ger of the Mobeetie Mercantile
Company, one of the large stores
of the Panhandle. It is always a
pleasure to record the advance-
ment of the young men who stray
away from home, but most of
them succeed.

“So you were deeply touched by
the poem young Air. Guffson wrote
to you?” said Maude.
“Yes,” answered Maymie.
“But it was not a good poem.”
“1 don’t care. It was just as
much trouble for him to write it as
if he had been Shakespeare.”
ANOTHER DEFINITION.
“Josiah, what is the house of
lords?”
“It’s one branch of the British
parliament. You’ve heard of the
house of commons, haven’t you?”
“Ye-es.” .
“Well, the lords are the uncom-
mons.”
