WEIBUSH, H. J.
Surnames: WEIBUSCH
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.
