Answered by Cole Savage, Count) Agent Cotton planting began the middle o( April this year and before the first of May many farmers had finished plant, ing. Those who have not finished aro busy planting this week and will have finished by Saturday night. Unless planting over is necessary most of Frankliu Count'sy cotton will have been planted by Saturday night. The early cotton plantings are com ing up. The cool weather a few days ago checked its progress but It seems to be standing the unfavorable weath er well. The preparation for this year's crop is the best it has been In years, so the oldest farmers 3ay. Some of the last breakings have broken up cloddy due tc the drowth but most of the land is in excellent condition. The cloudy v.eather of last week was favorable for setting tobacco plants and many fields were busy with plant setters. In the Southern part of the county many plants are set. Plant shortage is a common com plaint throughout the county, espec. tally around Epsom. Some few woulii be .tobacco fields are being planted to cotton but net enough to materially reduce the tobacco acreage. The early plantings of corn are coming up but are not large enough to start cultivation. The cool weath er has slapped Its growth In the face but has not damaged the stands thus far. The corn prospects are good. Annual clover is cut in half this year. The Spring drouth is the prin cipal cause of this reduction. An under.watered plant has been attack ed by clover insects and clover stem tot which added to the shortage. Cutting of the better clover grow ths began a few days ago. The home-made crusher built by G. C. Harris and B. F. Daughety and demonstrated on the Court House Square is proring to be a very popu lar labor saving device with nitrate of soda users over the county. 19 oth er crushers hare been reported as made since this one was first shown a few weeks ago.

Clifton, president of the Behrens Drug" Company, was one of the first subscribers to the stock, and has been connected with it in impor tant capacities since its organization. Dr. Clifton has been director, chair, man of the board and pro-it/lent, and is perhaps as familiar with the his tory of the business as any man who has ever had to do with this business concern, which from the very begin ning gave evidence of its solidarity and business popularity. While Dr. Clifton could not be in duced to say so, it is nevertheless a tact, admitted by officials of the com. pany, that his wise counsel has had as much to do with its success in recent years as have the efTorts of any other nne man. He has taken a deep inter est in the affairs of the company, and has always been ready to back his judgment with his money. Dr. Clifton has been quite successful in his other business ventures also, and owns stock in very many of the ongoing concerns of the city, one of these being the Clifton Manufacturing company, which ban had a conspicu ously successful career, and which Is being handled no ably by Albert T. Clifton, son of Dr. Clifton. A genius lor business enterprise -has been shown clearly by Dr. Clifton, ami bis business acquaintances in Waco have always eagerly sought his coopera tion and counsel. He also has been most liberal in community enterprises, and the steady growth of Waco has been due to his efforts and to the efforts of men like him. A Rood many year* ago Df. Clifton became Interested In Red Poll catUe, and. having a large farm north of Waco, this was stocked with such cat. tie, the fame of which spread over a wide area.
