CLIMATIC CHANGES IN TEXAS
Eli Perkins Changes his Views.

Six years ago found people irri-
eating west of San Antonio. They
pointed to the irrigating canals built
by the Spaniards 100 years ago, and
said, 1--WE have to-" Now find the
country from Anstin TO San Antonio
loaded with splendid crops, without
irrigation. The great German Set

tains many vineyards. The grapes
are fine, large, and luscious. L ate

west to the Tooth parallel, which is
on the Rio Grand-, and that the
whole grazing country west of San
Antonio will soon be fenced up into
farms. tus
The Rev. Adirondack Murray
has ranch q mile south of San An
tonic. He was setting out a tobacco
field when we called. i.s-e E.
II have raised tobacco in Connec-
ticut," he said, "and 1 believe West
ern and Southern Texas will raise it
superior to any other section in the
country, and without irrigation too"
Mr.. Murray is down on irrigation.
He says: "The laying of steel rails
has brought the rain" Certainly l
never saw crops more flourishing
than they are around San Antonio
this year. The oat crop will be
phenomenal. There are many fields
which will produce over 100 bushels
to the acre. There are records here
where 125 bushels of oats have been
produced to the acre. You may look
upon this as what the newspapers
call "an Eli Perkins story" but, like
many of his stories, thought 10 be a
little, steep at first, investigation
generally verifies them. In fact, Eli
Perkins don't write unless he has
some phenomenal thing to write
about. You couldn't hire him to
write an old stereotype cast-iron let

things as 125 bushels Of oats to the
acre, trees 80 feet in diameter, gas

In the rural districts, from all the re-
porter can learn, there is a stir from early
to late III every direction. Plows, hoes
and scrapers in the hands of old, middle
aged, young, big, medium size, small ;
the sound, the unwell, the halt, the
manned, and even the blind. all are hard
at work fighting the grass and weeds that
have grown vigorously during the late
wet weather, to the sore discomfit of the
crops. A few of the farmers have got
their, fields in good condition, and if the
rain holds off few days longer all will be
welfand cotton and corn freed entirely
from weeds and grass. From all We can
learn prospects were never brighter for
good crops, and If no untoward accident
occurs, the harvest will be abundant.

citizen of Stephens county. That county
is on boom of advancement, and the
crops and cattle were never rs now.
Among other things learned from this
gentleman are the following: DR.. Peter
Gunsolas, living in Stephens county, has
had three wives and the third is now liv-
ing. He has fifty-four living children,
and his grand and great-grund children
are.sas the sands upon the sea shore"
The-youngest child, Il daughter, is mar
ried and has children. DIR. GunsOlas was
in the battle of San JacintO, and has
always lived on the Texas frontier. He
has been a man of large means and is now
quite we'll off. Mrs. Elisha Orr, of
Stephens county, has had six children at
three births-three at one time, two at
another and one ut another. Mrs. Robert
Shaw, of stephens county, recently gave
birth to four living ,well-fOrmed children.
1t is said as many as fifty pairs OF twins
have, been born in Stephens within the
