A rrptvsi nlative of this paper mude
an extrusive bugg> dmc recently
through Kast I'ollln. Farmers in
every direction could be neon busily
engaged In planting corn and propur-
iug their cotton Iuu<I. Kast Collin
undoubtedly has the largest wheal
and oat acreage this year In lis his-
tory. These erops have been hold
back by wet, cold weather but are up
to a good stand and both crops are
f;ist coming out. A few more days of
sunshine will result In a repid
growth for both cereals The cotton
crop will lie greatly cut down this
year.
Nearly four months of unfavorable
weather bus caused farm work to
drop much behind. Corn plunting is
later than usual. •'onseiiuelltly, tin-
past few days of fair weather is
causing every fanner to bend his m-
luost resources to culeh up with his
belated work.
Kast Collin Is iih busy an a lu ehlve
these days. Farmers have no time
for Idleness or to come to town, I'n-
til recent years, Kast Collin w.is al-
most an exclusive cotton growing
district and a field of grain was a
rarely. The west half of the county,
which was originally virgin prairie
land, has long been more largely a
grain growing section. Hut with Iho
disappearance of the timber nnd
stumps, Kast Collin Is also forging to
Die front on wheat and oat produc-
tion.

IN ItOAIi III llilllMi
To The Dally Courler-Oaaetlo and
The Weekly Domocrat-tlasette:
In the Issue of March 18th of your
daily you published an article from
Hro. li. C. Horn, In which lie replies
to an article I published ill The Cell-
ini Itecord March 11th, in which i
took a stand against the sale of any
route, for a money consideration, of
any pike road to be built lu f ollln
County.
Inasmuch as his article In your pa-
per of tho 16th putr ne in on ottl-
tude before your readers on tho road
question which f did not take, I ask
space to brush oft a few cobwebs that
seem to have accumulated on some
points.
Brs. Horn assumes that slncc I am
opposed to the county receiving mon-
ey bonuses or money from private
subscriptions for the routes, (which
I criticized him for advocating In
your paper of March 4th) that I nm
therefore opposed to right-of-way.
tho rock, etc., being given tho county
along the routes where the pikes are
to be built, lie is 111 error In this;
we think this is all proper and right;
and further where a land owner
won't agree that his fence lie
set back to let Hie pike pass
by his land, the county Is perfectly
Justified in going another route, If it
will practically serve the same public
good. Out here nearly everybody is
might.v glad to open up for the pikes
to come by them and they are also
iettlng the road builders haul rock
off their land without price.
The difference between llro. Horn
and tho writer oii the question of lay-
ing out the routes over which pikes
are to be built is tills: Hro. Horn be-
lieves In the things that I believe In,
as above related; but he goes further
and wants the county also to take In
money (the root of all evil.) Thai's
further than I can go and that's
what I objected to In Ills nrtlcle of
March 4th, In which he said one rich
man told him that he would give
$500 for the pike to come by hlni
Hro, Horn recommended this money-
offer to the consideration of the Coin
mlssloners! In his article of March
41 h he laid down this unsound doc
trine of equity as follows:
"II Is Intimated that some have In
lluonoed the directors with their
money, not as a bribe to them, but as
a bonus. Well, If so, who lias a right
to object? Is It not the duty of our
commissioners to save the taxpayer
all they can by receiving private
subscriptions to the fund? I for one,
say yes."
I'lider such a policy as the above,
the rich could buy all the pike routes
lu Collin County and I. for one, claim
the right to object, as public road-
buildlng Is a public matter and no
private snap, whose roil ten can be
sold like cattle to the man or men
paying the most money, for the spirit
and Intention of the Texas road law
wns and Is to run the routes for.pikes
when the) will do the greatest good
to the greatest number. Following
this Intention of the law might run a
pike by the very door of some poor
widow Willi only one son and a few
acres oii a poor hillside. Just the same

whom toiil Hro. Horn lie would give

man would get the pike without pay-
ing in any money, If entitled lo il
otherwise lie might not to have It, no
matter If he offered $5,0(10 In money.
What I am kicking against, Is
inonej don't want money to come

It is nli'iithl to gel free rock and a

ing mil any money.
Hut the county commissioners are
capable of handling these details and
I have confidence in their Judgment
and lu their doing right.
llro. Horn says that the MeKlnney-
Uhea's Mill pike will lack some miles
of reaching the Colliia pike. He asks
my plan nf Hilling the gap, if I am
opposed lo money bonuses ami pri-
vate subscriptions. My answer Is
that a public tax was not voted for
tlils gup, leaving it a private matter;
therefore II would be entirely proper
(nnd violate no public policy) for In-
terested parlies to pike this gap out
of their private means. When the
liiit is passed on I Ills private matter
I will throw in to It, since II cannot
Infringe anybody's public rights, yet.

That u marked Increase in the pro-

proper system of planting is followed,
Is tlie opinion of Dean K. J. Kyle,
Professor of Horticulture at the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College of
Texas. The distance at which fruit
trees should be planted, will of course,
vary with the kind of fruit and the
nature of the soil, but according lo
experiment, the following distances
have given the best results lu I lie way
