All the nominations are in now except for congress and the county ticket. We all know that Small will be re-nominated for congress, and the county nominations will be made in due time.

The result of these experiments will determine whether this lively exotic is an effective antidote to the bane from which Texas has for ten years been a sufferer. Another hopeful remedy is proposed in cotton which grows to the hight of forty or fifty feet, multiplies very rapidly, is immune to the boll weevil and will yield from twenty to twenty- five pounds per tree, including seed. If difficulty is found in gathering the crop, the tree is easily dwarfed, so as to bring the cotton within reach. At an average yield of y pounds of cotton per tree, the yield would be sixteen bales to the acre.

The lust for fresh meat. the eastern tourist's desire for antlers elk teeth and the native who slays for the market have de- populated Colorado and several states of their best game. The bear, cougar and bobcat have felt the same blighting influence, but the coyote still figures in the sky line of the average western picture. Some- times he is unwise enough to eat of poisoned carcasses of cattle, but this is seldom. Again, he falls a victim to a coyote organized by and participated in by townspeople, newspaper correspondents and amateur These coyote are held annually or oftener in nearly all western communities where the prairie pest flourishes.
