The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1885-03-05

scented that the United States has its
agricultural commission, and that
many of the states find great profit
in keeping such establishments.
The attention of the legislature is
called to the point in question, and
it is asked to properly consider the i'm
portance of encouraging agriculture
and assisting in an advisory way the
agriculturists of Texas. Our cotmepo-
ray concludes its carefully considered
article as follows: The proposition
involves no experiment; it has the
practical endorsement of enlightened
nations and states, to which it has
contributed millions of taxable wealth.
1t is proposition that receives the
endorsement of every agriculturist in
tine state, and of tens of thousands of
other citizens. 1t would be great
popular move; it would heal differen-
ces between the farming and other
interests; it would show a great class
that among the learned profession
agriculture is at least to be recognized
1t would receive the support of
nine.tenths Of the people OF Texas.
What legislator will take the cue, and
win imperishable honors from becom-
ing the author of a bill to create and
maintain state agricultural COM
mission?

SHIPPING LIVE sTOCK.

1t is not generally known that a
bill is now before congress, requiring
railway companies to ship live stock
in "palace stock cars" It is claimed
that by thho present manner of shipping
such stock ten per cent. die from the
barbarious manner in which they are
handled, while the remaining ninety
per cent. is left in a diseased condition
unfit for market; that meat from
such animals, not distinguishahle from
other meat, is unhealthy, and is
the cause of disease among people;
that the commissioner of agriculture
has officially stated that cattle shipped
by present methods caused a loss in
1870, in shrinkage alone, of $8,OOO,OOO;
and it is safe to say the loss is now
three or four times as great as then.
Here, it is urged, is very great tax
upon necessary article of food, borne
alike by producer and consumer,
diminishing the profits to meat pro-
ducers, and placing it beyond the power
of great many people to buy meat.
These are some of the reasons urged in
favor of the bill, and, while they may
be in a measure good reasons, it is
said the object of the bill is to place
the shipment Of live stock in the
hands of monopoly. An authority
says the "palace cattle car" as at
present constructed is but little better,
if any, for deliv ering live stock in
good condition than the present meth
cd. The Drovers Journal says
that practical tests have demonstrated,
that the so-called palace stock cars do
not land the cattle at their destination
in any better condition than do the
common cars, and they are infinitely
more troublesome to load and keep in
order. All stock shipped fer instance
romChicago to the sea-board is bought
and paid Cor according to the
weight of stock. Thus the producer is
paid for all that he has. From here
to the seaboard the animals are the
property of the shipper, who certainly
has more interest in their welfare
than anybody else. If the animals
shrink, the loss is his. When he
arrives at the East if the cattle are in
bad condition his pocket must suffer.
He sells to the consumer, who only
pays for what he gets" The Journal
declares that no shipping car has
yet been put in use, which
so suits the Chicago shipper as the
common live stock car. 1t Is held
that if congress is to take the trans
portation question into consideration
the railroads should be compelled to
fit up their stock cars with air brakes
in order to prevent jolting and bump
ing, and to increase the speed of stock
trains. But it would be an unwise
move to dictate to stock shippers the
kind of cars in which to ship when it
has been practically demonstrated to
them which method is the best.

MIDLAND COUNTY,

The citizens committee composed
of Messrs. Moody, Carr and Brant.
from the new proposed county of Mid
land, which is to be created out Of
Tom Green county, made THE STATES
MAN pleasant call last evening. They
are rep, sentative men of west Texas,
and are well pleased with the reeep-
ton they have met with here, both in
the house and senate, and in our city.
The bill was considered by the senate
committee on counties and county
boundaries, yester day. and a unani-
nous report In favor of the bill will
be submitted to the senate this morn
ing, notwithstanding considerable OPP
position was developed in the COM
mitttee meeting by the San Angela
court house people, represented here
by DIR. Yandell. Senator A. w. Hous-
ton at first opposed the bill, but the
citizens committee above referred to
made such a strong showing Of facts
and figures IN favor of the new county,
that it is thought he will not oppose
the bill when it is called up for final
passage; and the committee also think
there will be no one in the senate who
will oppose it when the facts are fully
understood. Tom Green county con-
tains, we believe, about 1900 square
miles Of territory. and the people liv-
ing within the limits of the proposed
new county of Midland are now COM
PEELED to go 240 miles to the county
seat at San Angela by the only prac-
tlcable route there is-public convey
ance. The time consumed in making
the trip is week and at cost of
about $40. They have one million
dollars worth of taxable property with
in the new county and plenty of
jurors and brains to carry out a
county government. We think it
only justice to the people that the
new county of Midland should
be made, and we wish these gentlemen
God speed in their mission. Every in
ducement should be held out to the
actual settler to settle up the western
part of the state, and 1t Is believed the
up of the large counties Is a
step in the right direction. Another
step would be putting the watered
school lands on the market TO actual
settlers only at a fixed price; and it is
hoped the present legislature win not
neglect to do this.

STATE BOARD OF AGR1ouLruRE.

There is beginning to be some agita-
ton in regard to the establishment of
state board of agriculture, and it is
not improbable that before the close
of the present session of the legisIa-
ture a bill for that purpose may have
strong support in legislative halls.
Texas Farm and Ranch has a well
considered article. upon the subject, in
which reasons are presented why
there should be such an establishment
in Texas. 1t is said that cher territory
covers an expanse of nearly a thous-
and miles, and her soils are varied
and adapted to many uses. Her eli
mate takes in the warm gulf coast re-
gion, where grow oranges and banan-
as, the sugar and sea island
cotton. Close to the coast borders the
rich cotton soils of the alluvial belt,
where last year there were gathered,
in many instances, two bales of cotton
to the acre, and where corn often pro-
duces one hundred bushels of grain to
the acre. Up, up, up, as the altitude
increases and the level alluYial region
is left to the southwark, the produc-
tive black and chocolate soils of the
prairies return to the agriculturalist
splendid crops of cotton, corn, oats,
wheat, barley, rye, sorghum and
grasses, and from the gulf coast to
the Red river grow in grand perfec-
ton peaches, plums, pears. apricots
apples, and profusion of natural and
cultivated berries. This grand state
embraces the region from latitude
1858 to S61S, and from longitude 9316
to very nearly 1861. The simple pre-.
sentation of these figures, and the
further statement that the area
Of the state covers 172,604, 100
acres. is enough to demon
starte what we say of Texas.
that its agricultural future will have
no equal among American states. In
view of its present resources and in
of its andeyeloped great
ness, in view Of the relation that agri-
culture occupies in the states present
material prosperity and its wonderful
developement in the early future, the
government has failed to take
that interest in agriculture which it
deserves. The live stock interest de.

ton; the timber interests of the state

a meeting of melon growers at
Valasta, Ga, was not of the opinion
that the railroads had given as great
reduction on melon frelghts for 1885
as they should have done, and it was
regarded as being an uncertain ven
ture to plant very largely. A vote of
the meeting was taken, and it was the
sense of those present that not over
80 per cent. of the acreage of last sea-
son ought to be planted. 1t was
thought that by a reduction of tbs
supply better prices could be obtained,
and thus they would be better able to
pay the freight.
