TEXAS COTTON CROP IS SHORT
Former Arkansan Writes of the
Crops and Drops a Few Hints
to Farmers Union
To The Newark Journal:
As most of The Journal’s read
ers are, perhaps, like myself, in
terested in hearing occassionally
from other states, especially the
cotton states, 1 will give you a few
sketches from Texas.
Uott'in is, f>t course, the chief
crop in this state, but if.-all re
ports are true, Texas is without a
chief this .year. From what I
hear, cotton will make, on an aver
age, about a bale to every nine or
ten acres. Hetween the dry weath
er and the weevil the cotton crop
has been left very slim. We have
some corn, but fruit is a total fail
ure. Our gin has put up 126 bales
and the season’s run is about half
over. Last year the same gin put
up 4,000. I f you Union men and
others will do as we are doing,
store it away in your warehoue,
you will have no trouble in get
ting 15 cents, or even more for
your cotton this year. We are
now offered 13i to 14 cents, but
we are all holding, and it all goes
in the warehouse unless we get 15
cents. We are aware that efforts
are being made to bust the Union,
but it only makes us stick the
the closer together out here.
If the world knew what it has
cost to produce a bale of cotton
this year it would say we were
fools to sell for less than 20 cents.
Cotton growing and ignorance
go hand in hand, for no cotton
farmer can ever educate his chil
dren. Figure out the value on an
education, then count your chil
dren and see what you have lost.
Did you ever notice how the
average farmer peddles out his
cotton on the street, like it was
auction goods and must go at some
priced Mr. Farmer, foryour own
sake, quit this! Dump it off in
your warehouse and if you have to
have money draw some on it on
your warehouse check.
You know the farmers are con
sidered fools, but as I said they
are raised in the cotton patch,
schooled in l he cotton patch and
graduated in the cotton patch. Hut
now comes the Farmers Educa
tional Union, not so much to teach
him how to raise cotton, but how
to look after his own interest and
how to best dispose of his cotton
after he has raised it.
there is one thing sure; if .you
want to make a success, keep out
of debt. 1 f you cant make a big
crop without going in debt, then
make a little one. If we would all
do this we would get a big price
for it and the little crop would
tiring us ns much money as the
big one. Success to the Journal.

ARKANSAS DEAF-MUTE INSTITUTE
State Free School For Deaf Child
ren Will Open Wednesday,
October 2nd
Little Rock, Sept. 14.—The Ar
kansas Deaf Mute Institute will
open Wednesday, October 2. This
is a free school for all deaf child- j
rcn of sound mind in the state; not
an asylum for the feeble minded,
| crippled or infirm. Every good
citizen ought to see to it that the
parents of deaf children in his
neighborhood know of the school i
and urge them to take advantage:
of its privileges. It is an educa
tional institution of which every
citizen should feel proud. It is
doing a noble work for these
atllicted children.
The public schools are free to
the hearing. This school is free
to the deaf. The parents of deaf
children who have kept their chil
dren away from school have rob
bed them of the privileges justly
due them. This is the only place
in the state where they can be
taught and to leave them unedu-l
cated is dangerous. Educated,
they are a support to the family |
and society: uneducated, they are
usually a burden to both. Parents
ought not to let a mistaken idea
of love and a dread of seperation
drive them to make the lamentable
error of keeping their deaf chil
dren at home.
I he Institute lias 23 teachers in
the school proper and 9 instructors
in the trades and professions.
Last year 299 pupils attended this
school. You send your children |
to school untrained and they send
them back as educated workmen.
There are a physician, aurist, den
tist and two nurses who are paid I
regular salaries to look after the
children: four women who are con
stantly with the girls when they
are not busy at lessons, one of
them to go through the dormitory]
every half hour at night and see
that the little ones are covered and !
comfortable and a man and a wo
man to be with the boys, the wo
man to be with the little boys.
Besides the common school j
branches, the following trades are
taught.
To the girls—Dress making \
tailoring, cooking, house-work,]
fancy needle work, basket-weav-1
ing, typewriting, bookkeeping
and art.
To the boys—Printing, painting,
cabinet making, turning, carpen
try, paper-hanging, plastering,
tailoring, harness making, shoe- I
making, typewriting, bookkeep
ing and art.
The buildings are most beauti
fully situated on the highest hill
near Little Rock, making good;
health certain.
Everything is free to the deaf,
except clothing and railroad ex
penses, and even that is free to
those who are too poor to pay it.
Arthur G. Mashburn is the sup
I erintendent and will furnish any
information in regard to the school I
: up request.

“The liquor traflice is a cancer
in society, eating out its vitals and
threatening destruction, and all

no attempts to regulate the cancer;
I it must be eradicated, not a root
left behind, for until this is done, j
all classes must continue in danger
