cotton is the principal field growth, and
with the exceptions Of HOPKINS and Red
River counties, there is really no difference
IN the productive qualities of the lands of
these counties. In San AuguSin, Shelby
ana NacngdocheS, or n part, at least, of
NacogdOchcs county, they have what they
call the red lands'-a chocolate, rich
loan, which, with sufliciency of rain,
produces equal to the uplands of any por-
ton OF the state, but considered upon the
whole, these counties can scarcely be tx
G.epted from the rule with the ether eastern
Texas timbcrCd counties These counties
enumerated are heavily timbered, and the
uplands are of light, sandy soil yielding
not near so much per acre as the heavier
prairie lands, but they are lighter of cult
yatiOn, and with the increased acreage per
hand the farmer is enabled to put
in more. They find farming remuncr-
alive and eminently satisfactory. We
cannot estimate the average yield per acre
OF these lands ut more than quarter of
bale in good seasons. OF the upland soils
OF the state, none equal those of north
Texas. Indeed, the bottom lands along the
water courses are practically no better and
what we mean by that is, that while they
produce really more to the aero, no more
can be gathered and saved.
MS HABITAT.
The counties embraced in north
Texas, as we have participated, are
Lamar, Delta, Fannin, Hunt, Kauf-
man, Grayson, Rockwell, Collin Dal-
las, Cook, Clay, Montague, Denton,
Wise, Parker, Jack, Tarrant Pao "uto,
Young, Shacklciord, Archer viii FER,
Wichita, ThrOckmortOn, Stephens, . til,
Eastland, Jones, Taylor Callahan, IAN,
Stoncwall, Crosby, Cottell Hockey, Lub-
book, Knox, Gaines, Dawson, Dickens,
King, .Haskill Mitchell, Howard, Conan
che, Hood, Somervill, Hamilton, Bosque,
Johnson, Ellis, Navarro, Limestone, Brown
and Martin In all these counties cotton
grows well, In the older settled and more
thickly populated of these counties where
the fact of its production has been demon
stratcd there can be no question that there
IS not a liner cotton producing coun-
try on the globe. BY reference to a man of
Texas 1t will be seen that We have enumera-
ted in the above list number of counties
Baylor, Knox, Haskell. Nolan, Howard
ETC., that all lie along together These are
as yet but sparsely settled, some of them
quite so, but being along the line of the
Texas ~ Pacific railway and contiguous
| thereto, already settlers are going to them
and wherever they have been tested, they
have responded to the demands of the agri-

most of these counties is the same as
throughout north Texas generally. Some
of them are embraced in what are known AS
the .'Staked Plains" and it is not claimed
for them that they are made up of rich ara
bic lands. They will be treated of again and
