Tho low price OF cotton Is the Gloomiest
thing We now have TO contemplate. Last year
We raised 1000, 900 bales. and sold It for about
s90O00.0O0. The crop this year promises to be
equally rs good. and the acreage planted is
eight per cent. larger
Texas Is raising too much cotton. This fact
may be wholesome lesson and turn our
farmers to growing other crops which pro-
duce equally as well. We have raised this
season 15.C00O 900 bushels of wheat. One Texas
county this year raised as much rs tho whole
State did last year. The part OF the State north
and west OF Fort Worth Is now known to bo as
good a whent country rs Kansas. and three
times as large and five times as certain.
