PESSIMISTIC OVER OUTLOOK FOR
CROPS.
a..
. *
Host. E. W, Kirkpatrick of McKin-
»ey, president of the Texas Farmers’
Congress, has just returned from a
trip to College Station, Austin, San
Marcoe and other points. Mr. Kirkpat-
rick Is well known as ohe of Texas’'
leading business’ men, besides being
an extensive orchardist and farmer.
In an Interview given out at. Sherman
Monday he said, regarding prospects
tor crops over a large portion of the
ntate:
“I have traveled over an extensive
territory, and recently have been over
great deal of Texas and the United ,
States, and I give it as my opinion, •
based on an experience of fifty years’
farming, that Texas will not raise to
exceed 3,000,000 bales of cotton, and
#*he United States not more than $9,000,
*000 bales this year, and the farmer
teh© raises cotton, if he uses just or-
dinary judgment in marketing it, will
igetthe highest price ever paid for the
-stable.
“Through the country I have just
’toedn wver, corn is selling readily at
•$2.5$ per bushel, wher'e thpre is any;
* bay att $35 per ton and a rate of $4
per month per head is charged to pas-
ture sfoock.
“There is no corn, the drouth hav-
ing destroyed it, and the same may be
.’-said bf the forage crops.
“The farmers haven’t money with
’which to buy seed wheat, and are leav-
ing the country by the hundreds, go-
ing to the. towns to find work.
“The farmers have never before re-
'«eiv«d any ways near what they should
for their products. This year they
have a great opportunity if they will
’only hold together, market sensibly
«nd demand that they, and not the
speculators, get the high prices. They
-nre due to come into their own, and
, If they raise the stuff and stand pat,
they will get their’ own.”
Mr. Kirkpatrick is not a pessimist
$>y any means, but is a man of sound
judgment and ripe experience, and he
tlesjres to call attention to these facts
ns he found them, in the hope that far-
mers will make a superhuman effort
\to put in more food and feed crops;
double the wheat acreage and cultiva-
tion wherever possible; cause bank-
•ers and business men to help farmers
get seed wheat; cause the cotton rais-
ers and grain raisers to market their
products in such a manner as to get
<he highest possible prices.
There are many Parker county cit-
ms who corroborate these state-

mingle with their names throughout

even the slightest conception of what
this war is for listen to the sibilant
voice of the traitor and the agent of
the kaiser? Is discredit and dishonor
and shame ta home; with its ignomin-
ious death as a deserter, more to be
desired than doing the bounden duty
of every man—than going to the front
and doggedly contesting the right of

The Parker county exemption board
has completed the list of men who are
to be called on the first draft for ex-
amination, which will begin next Tues-
day, August 14th. The list of regis-

we call home? Is any one willing to L, carda t0 aee that no
substitute the certainty'of ending his
life for the possibility of living on for
years in honor among his people?
There may be some people who will
not understand—who will listen to
those whose interests are beyond our
shores. But, with the army organiza-
tion completed, it is certain a few
examples made of those whose love
for their native land is something as
yet undeveloped, will have a decidedly
salutary effect. And the examples
should by all means be provided.

NORTHWESTERN FARMERS SELL
POTATOES FOR 30 CENTS BUSHEL
j Duluth, Minn., Aug. 9.—Many farm-
ers in the Northwest are contracting
to sell their entire crop of potatoes
this fall, for 30 cents a bushel, accord-
ing to information obtained by F. F.
Edmond of Winnipeg, Man., who is
representing the Grand Trunk Pacific
line of elevators. The impression is
fast gaining ground that there would
be an enormous crop of tubers and
that the Northwest will be flooded
with them next fall. The contracts
at 30 cents are for September and
October delivery Mr. Edmond said.
Consumers in Canada did not suffer
from high prices of potatoes last win-
ter as they did in the Undted ^States,
according to Mr. Edmond. While pri-
ces in the United States were around
$4 a bushel, in Canada consumers
were paying $1.56 and earlier in the
season only 85 cents. .
DISCOVERY OF SECRET PAS-
SAGE CREATES SENSATION
Rome, Aug. 9.—The sensation of the
day here is the discovery of a secret
subterranean passage from the Villa
of the Roses (residence of Prince Von
Buelow, former German ambassador),
to the hotel Eden, the former proprie-
tor of which was a German. It is be-
lieved the passage was used to facili-
tate secret meetings between the dip-
lomat and persons in various Ivalks of
life as well as to insure secrecy to
the ambassador’s guests when the oc
casion required. An investigation
which promises interesting disclos-
ures is under way.
