H. J. Weibusch, formerly a citizen of Falls county, but who is now doing work
for the German government in East Gernan Africa, will leave in a short time for
his post of duty.
He is aiding the government in encouraging the German farmers of that section to
grow cotton and he states that the increase in acreage each year is very large,
showing that it is not only being found profitable, that the farmers, are
determined to make a sucess of it, stimulated and back by the German government
which is doing everying possible to make the matter go produce a new industry in
that section.
The climate of the sectin where cotton is being grown is a great deal like Texas
climate, and the winters are quite mild. There are two rainy seasons during the
year, the first, a short one, during November, and then rain begains falling
again during March, and continues for two or three months, conforming somewhat
to our springs rains. The colonies of that part of Africa are building up fast
with a good and progressive set of farmers and others.
Hermann has been visiting his brothers, Charles J. Weibusch, near Perry, and
other reltives(sic)in Texas for six months. His work is being watched with a
great deal of interest in this section where hi is known to a great many people.
