Trusty. Pokt Arthur, Tkxas, March 20, 1U17. Dear Ed: 1 am sending you 12 for the II bh-ald. I came here the 20th of September, to work for the Gulf Kenning and had failed to have my Uek- ami changed. Frank Capps died in Nov.

and Mrs. Trusty had to go up there and bring Gaynell down here and she had the Herald sent to her here so I just let mine goon to Virgil at Deweyville. Later Virgil came here and all at once both papers stopped and I have been very busy and bothered more or less the last year. The doctors aavisea neraiu, our youngest son, to leave here on account of his health. He left here the Nt of last April, went to California.

He stayed at Bakerstleld, Fellows and Taft the most of the summer, then he worked at different places through that country, then went up In the mountains west of Fresno, stayed awhile, went to San Francisco, work ed there awhile and took a boat up to Eureka. He then went out from there a few miles and worked a few days and left there. He wrote me from there 2Ut of January but I have heard nothing from him since. A letter I sent htm was returned. Herald was a good boy, always stay ed at home, was lots of help to tne and comfort to his mama, but je can't look for much In this old world but worry.

Virgil, Vernon and Horace Young, Grace's husband, all work for the Gulf Retinery. Virgil has a shift job at a boiler house, gets $100 per month. He works two weeks from 7 a. ru. to p.

ru then two weeks from 3 p. ru. till 11 p. then two weeks from 11 to 7 a. m.

Horace runs a dredge at $3.50 per day. Vernon is my helper on a punch machine, gets $2 70 and I get $.1 50; 8 hours a and pay and a half for over time. Every one that works over time gets time and a ha.f. I am working now from 4:45 p. m.

till 1 a. in. with 15 minutes for lunch at 8 o'clock. The Gulf Retlnlng capacity is t.o, 000 barrels a day, the Texas Co. here has a capacity of barrels, the Texas plant at Port Natches, 10 miles from here, has a capacity of barrels, and the Magnolia Kenning Co at Beaumont has a capacity of 50,000 barrels per day, making the outputof refined oils in this, Jefferson county, barrels.

There are large ocean going vessels loading here nearly all the time. We hid three LI. S. torpedo boat destroyers here the first of this month and staed a week. We all went on them and saw huw the guns and torpedo tubes are used; they make 4j knots per tiuur.

They went from here to Galveston. They were out getting recruits for the Navy. Ed, this is an Interesting city to live In. The Gulf Retlnlng Co. paid all their employes a 10 per cent bonus on last, year's wages.

I drew $00 lu the loth of January. It was just like a gift. 1 worked a part of last year at $2.70 and part at and $.1 25. If they pay-it this year 1 will do better than thai. I have lost one day's work this year far.

There are about saloons here, b-it I seldom ever go In one or take a drink. I am getting to be almost a prohibitionist. Mrs. Trusty Is suffering with a cold this luoriilng. Gajuell and children are all well.

1 you want to go to the best ashing place In the country, come down here. 1 1 don't take any longer to go out here to Sabine Lake and catch a string of trout than it would to go down to the chub hole and get a bucket of min nows, or go out to the jetties and catch June fish; they get one of them very often that weighs from 00 to 10 pounds. Well, Ed, It sure looks like war and my guess Is that we will get in lor a long war, but that we will win there Isn't a doubt In my mind, One redeeming feature of Teddy is he will sure light. He was in Florida the other day and he said he wanted to hear Dixie played before Hie German trencnes In France and If the Nnlted States government would give him the authority he would be there in four or live gonths. Well, Ed, hoping this finds you well, I will close.

As I promised so many of my rela tives and friends I would write when we got to our new home I have written a number of personal letters and feel that I have only made a start to write to all I promised to write to, I up sod and mixes grass, roots and soil and thi, when plowed under and again disked, becomes tirra and well packed.

Qn land that was cultivated last season, disking after p'ewlng provide good seed bed without disking before plowing. All this may require a little more time than yon have been In the habit of doing for spring planting, but It has been proved in thousands of experiments that In case of a short rainfall the extra work Is more than repaid. It Is a great deal better to delay planting for a week or so, and prepare the seed bed thoroly before planting than to plant on a poorly prepared seed bed. If the ground Is in poor shape when planted, It will be in poor shape all season as It cannot be prepared'after planting. It is an old saying that the best time to cultivate crops Is before planting.

Mo. 0 0, a have decided as time Is precious and so many get the Hi.hali) that it will make a long story siiort to write them all at once. We arrived at Purdin three weeks ago after visiting my sister, Mrs Lettie L'rbach, a few days. We found her and babies, alsu mother, enjoying the best of health. We then returned to Purdin where we have been very busy trying to get tilings In order In our new home.

We Bud several here from Texas county. Among them Mr. L'rbach and family, Nelson Chambers and family. They are all doing well. We think we will like the country however we have not been here long enough to be decided.

This Is a very pretty country; no rocks, vtry produo live and lots of sunshine. The diller ence in temperature doesn't seem to be very much between this and Texas county. The peopie seem to be very pleasant and sociable and know how to make strangers feel at home. While we have, not forgotten the friend? we left behind and would be pleased to meet them at any time we are thankful that we have made the move to tint) our home in the midst of christian people. We tind four hurches in the town of Purdin and all seem to be well represented We were very careful not to say we would not return to Texas county as we had taken too many drinks out of Mney river.

I will bring my few remarks to a close hoping to hear from some of the loved ones who read my letter. Willi best wishes to the IIkkalu and all its readers. Respectfully yours, Maooik Hakmon. Seed Bed Preparation. A properly prepared seed bed is one the most Important essentials for cultivated crops of all sorts.

A good seedbed is one which is well pulverized ut settled and firm below the depth hleh the seed are planted and tine and loose above that point.
