More Trees Needed In Texas-HOw to
Secure Them.
RAaTRop March god 1894

BAsTRop March 22d 1884.
EprToB Free PRESS Enclosed send you
clipping of tho Houston Post" "Prairie
Texas Needs Trees" Though the whole
contains not much not previously known,
yet the proof that hedges and trees from
their shelter, protect grass and grain, is at
least new to me, and sure is correct.
Now Q little Of my experience; when
settled at San Marcos, and for years otter,
stock men set the surrounding prairies .afire,
late in fall or very early in spring, with the
idea that after the rough stubble was burnt
off, new grass would soon spring up. These
fires were often very extensive, for miles
long, unless much travelled road, or O
water branch cut them off. I think the
policy was at least q doubtful one, for young
grass will come up in due time any how,
and think that the tall rough grass protec-
ted the young grass from blasting cold
winds. It is also we'll known that young
grass has not the nutriment as old grass, and
cattle do not fatten on it, on the contrary II
gives them often tho scours which makes
them feeble or poor, though this bowel
desease never killed them.
Again the Indians burnt the prairies SO
that grass being destroyed in one section,
they know where to hunt their game when
the new grass came up in the burnt district /;
the Indians also burnt of the grass some
times, to prevent o further pursuit Of q
party Of frontiers mon or rangers, for both
followed only on horseback, well mounted,
but had nothing but arms and ammunition, no
forage wagons, the pursuit had to be swift,
therefore they had to subsist on the game
of the land, and their horses oh grass. Now
IL is clear that when large areas Of prairie
were burnt OF the game had to leave il,
therefore no subsistence for tho Texan nor
for his faithful horse, and q retreat was
necessary to the settlements. though they
previously had clear trail ahead Of them
OF band of red skins; under these cir
cums.ances further pursuit was an impossi-
biliiy.

the proposed ratification meeting says: at

Hon. A. NJ. Clapp, the president, not having

the ticket and says it is the most popular one
since Lincoln and Hamlin, and will sweep
the country. 1t has been hard to unite
brains and loyalty in the republican party,
hut they are now on top. The professor
spoke highly of the devotion of tho southern
republicans to President Arthur 1t was at
once high evidence of their fidelity, and
compliment to the Presidents admirable
merited administration. Tho convention
was harmonious; tho battle was fought with
brains and fairly won the oolored vote was
recognized in the person of Representative
Lynch, and there was no room for complaint.
