We would made around 20000000 bales of cotton The 1925 26 carry over of Ameri can cotton will be about 4500000 bales with low grades selling at 6 to 10 cents per'poundnnd mid from 46 to 17 cents' per pound which is less than the cost of production will we do if we make another crop of 16 mil lion or more bales? It is common talk amongst the cotton trade that 12 cents for cotton in 1926 is not improbable and if we make 20 million bales of cotton the cotton will sell for less than ten cents per pound What will ten cents per pound buy at this time? "An 18 million bale crop will bring $500000000 less'than a 12 million bale crop In other words the more cotton a farmer produces the less he gets for his labor Stocks are declining in price Business in most lines is slowing nn Wild sneeulation has subsid ed and the warning from leadingfinanciers is to be conservative When cotton sold for 25 cents per pound there was some excuse for trying to raise all cotton but since production is running ahead of consumption unless something happens the con trol he will not make expenses 1 11 aaII An oy rmuHiK vvirw wr1 'T'Uama IB IIHT find 1 vour feed and food You KUTo ZtX Tr rp7ecaPS to see that nothing is neesiy lost They ghums peas etc it is better to I would advise that the people make ready to move live raise feed than to have to tjuy it gtocv household goods arid seed and other loose things with borrowed money and that is be' lost or" damaged by water to places oi What we will do when we plant thp PVPnt it becomes necessary an all cotton crop Better be 3 CONDITION RIVERS inan sorr' tOT public opinion on the streets oi I Rrvan seems to favor the idea I nm ffht that the Brazos River will not flood HlCtllllg' I VlllgslV I thegteeies store section at this time and that the rivtf wifi Interest Ot ISaOR take care of the waters coming I tinivavor some down tomoi ivy in seeri to think that down around IXlUgUC NavatoU the big River may come up over the banks and inundate 1 secre nm of the Bottom land perhaps tary of the Texas fiivision of the up as far as below Millican Jt i Isaak Walton League of America also (he general opinion that the is Bryan today in the interest Nasasot and Trinity Rivers are 6 of organizing an Isaak Walton ing to go on a rampage and flow Teague in Bryan' ovbr the surrounding country A meeting of the local sports Stag of Stream men and those interested in the The Little Brazos River is no preservation of our out of doors out of banks at Valley and near 1 till be held tonight at 8 at Hearne The Little the Chamber of Commerce for the f00t over the banks and stillrising purpose of organizing a local chap at Cameron but at Port Bui Ina ter of the Isaak Walton League there is still a htt le it of th The Isaak Walton League is a less than 5 feet left rational stale and local organiza big rise in the Little River ha tion of lovers of out doot life who evidently not yet reached are coperating with the state and Sullivan from up stream federal authorities in conserving The Big Brazos is about half out door America They are work banks at Port Sullivan It tarCg' ing hand in hand with "Turner istering 2 1 feet there according to Hubby State Game Commissioner the government man Mr reel in putting over a state program The flood stage of the river there including the building of more is 41 feet and the normal stage is fish hatcheries stopping the pol five feet The Leon and San lution of our ptreams establishing Gabriel Rivers are running bank gaixw preserves and public shoot full and in some places are over tng grounds parks and play the banks The government agent grounds and thdy are also inter at Port Sullivan thinks that the estedin the building of dams to river is going to be able to hold conserve the flood waters for irri the water alright and this seems gationjurpores Baseball Meet to I TheUSmi Gabriel and Leon riv DUdeyUU meet IV elattith the abnormal flow of the LIsJJ A7Q0 Little Rrver by itself will bring De neiU ll JV the Big Brazo up to mammoth 1 proportion below the mouth of the Irl nnirthf ltiil Riwr at Port Sullivan" At VlvLfV 1 hVaco the riygr is reported as hav inK fallen from 192 to 186 be Tonight at 7:30 at the tween the hours of 7 and 11 Beckwith Tailor Shop will be held O'clock so that the only thing to first meeting of the season! he feared is from the Little River elect officers and make plans an( the only flood danger is from and arrangements for the 1926 port Sullivan South The Weath reason 'of the Bryan Sunday Schooller Bureau seems to think the cn baseball league It is desired that sjs will come between Valley Junc all managers and captains of Sun tion and Hempstead some tune lay School teams and all others in 1 during riday terested in the League be present! at this meeting The backers of AtP llffVeU the movement hope to get the seas llUlfid CM 1 IUJCU on started earlier this year per haps during the first days of (jUt AttCT 1 WO May Little Theatre WiUMeet7: 1 ihrirv Tnniffhtl regular meeting of the Lit tie Theatre of Bryan will be held tonight at 7:45 at Carnegis All memoers are to attend this meeting The Weather NEW ORLEANS April 22 or Bryan and vicinity: Tonight and riday partly cloudy MMMMk ar Daily eagle?
