The Year Of Bounty.


The season is now sufficiently adj
vanced to render it certain that the
great agricultural staples of the coun
try will bear more than an average pro-
duction. According to the reports the
situation is peculiarly favorable. The
product of wheat is predicted to be at
least twenty per cent. more than 1874.
Then comes in another important con
dition. The wheat-producing area is
much greater than in 1874; the nun
Der of farms Is greater, there is more
country cleared and more ground re-
duced to cultivation. The farming In-
terest has developed greatly in the last
few years, because other enterprises
have stood still. Then, again, every
farmer was convinced that high prices
were to rule this year, and he strained
every nerve to SEED down the last
acre that his resources wolid adj
NIT OF. The increased acre age de-
voted to grain has been placed by some
observers as high as so per cent, and
by none at less than 90 per cent. 1t IS
not extravagant TO estimate that the
Joint effect of these causes will swell
the volume of grain to pour into this
city alone to 90, 600, 600 OF %, 600, 900
bushels. There is hardly possibility
that the average price of this grain will
fall as low as 81 8 bushel; it is much
more likely to range in the neighbor-
hood of $50; but at 81, even, it will
bring money enough TO swell all the
currents of commerce bank full.
In 1874 there was also q good corn
crop, put no better than this years
promises to be. The total number of
bushels received here was 1901, 900.
The same reasoning in regard 10 the
extension of acreage of wheat applies
with equal force 70 this crop, and we
Gao accordingly confidently expect our
corn receipts to swell 70 90, 1000. 900
bushels, ranging in price from 40 to
so cents. At an average of even 40
cents, il viii bring SO, 900, 600, but it

There is highly respectable old

o1.p TIMES IN AUsTIE.-The years
1889 were the great drought years
in Texas, and they will long be re-
memberod by the old Texans then
here, aud by reference to paper pub
lished in Austin, in March, 1910, ed
tied by G. X. Tendon, we are enabled
to give the prices of corn, meat, flour,
etc. The paper says:
II cannot be denied that, at present,
times are rather hard here. Corn is
only Sl4 per bushel, beef % cents per
pound, pork 75 cents, -four $40 per
barrel, while coffee, moiasses, sugar
and money are scarce and without
price. In short time, however,
things will-must improve. The farm
ers have had AN early and favorable
spring; most of them have got their
corn IN, some of which is already up.
Gentlemen lately from below report a
number Of teams on the way, hauling
up groceries, etc.
The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1877-08-30

WHILE the cotton reports have not
been as favorable of late as they might
have been, vet there is some consola-
ton to be gotten out of the dry
weather now prevailing, which is so
favorable for harvesting hay, fodder
pulling, making sorghum syrup, manu-
featuring mustang wine, corn gather
ing, etc. While cotton will fall lit
tie short of what was expected few
weeks ago, the yield Of other products
will be better than was anticipated.
And from all we can CLEAN the cotton
yield will be larger than last year, es-
peoially il We have long season of
favorable weather for picking. With
the experience OF this year, Texas farm
ers can even do bettsr mex. season than
they have this. This has been a
sort of an experimental year with farm
ers, and the result cannot fail OF doing
much good. 1t has been demonstrated
that there is only money in corn rails
ing for those who feed it to stock and
then sell the stock, both cattle and
hogs, and that there is more profit in
raising wheat and hay than there Is IN
oats and cotton. Potato aud onion
raisers have also made money this sea-
son, and We should not be surprised to
see many agric ulturists planting heavi-
" in these products for shipment next
.season. Fruit growers have also been
we'll rewarded for their labors the past
year, aud but for the frequent hail
storms and the grssshoppers last
spring they would have even done
much better. On the whole. farmers In
Texas have no just grounds Of COM
plsins with the year 1877, and IL they
make = half bale of cotton to the
acre, as still seems probable, they viii
be able to console themselves that no
crop failed the present season.
