Wheat, Mills aud Other Things.

mesquite grass will raise good
wheat. The plant food necessary
to make mesquite grass seed is the
same that is necessary to make
grains of wheat.
San Saba county has thousands
of acres of wheat land now set to
mesquite grass and mesquite
trees. San Saba county produced
wheat averaging over 40 bushels to
the acre on the old Bijah Duncan
farm and ON the Holman farm.
This year Miller, on Cherokee,
raised 36 bushels to the acre.
With land suited for wheat as
stated, San Saba county does not
raise enough wheat to feed its own
population. Why is this? 1 think
the answer is because there are
not sufficient mills to grind up the
wheat.
Farmers do not wish to haul
wheat to Brentwood and Lampas-
as to have it ground. There is but
one good mill in San Saba county
and that is at San Saba. 1t can
not supply the home demand for
-four.
As it is now farmer living Is
or 90 miles away, if he hauls his
wheat to San Saba for grinding, ne
will in many instances have to
leave it and come again for it.
This does not pay. A farmers
time is his money, if he wastes his
times and wears out his wagon
and jades his team on useless trips
to San Saba, he comes out behind
at the end of the year.
Another good mill at San Saba
is a necessity. A fair at San Saba
would be beneficial, but good
roller mill would be of greater
benefit. San Saba town in order
to prosper must attract the farm
ers and producers by furnishing
and markets.
Pay the farmers for wheat and
oats and cotton as much as they
can get at neighboring towns and
sell them what they want at rea-
sonable rates. No town can pros
per without the support of the
farmers. No town can be much
of a market or much of place
without it is able to pay wages
that will support the population.
There must be some steps taken
to build up home industries that
will pay wages, support people and
make a market. Don't say that
nothing can be done without rail
road. Would not a wool washing
establishment benefit the wool
raisers. Can we not have a tan
yard, broom factory, a shoe fac
tory or a soap factory. Can we
not do something with that i'm
mense water power that now runs
upappropriated to the sea. Can
not that water be put out on the
land in some way and increase its
productiveness.
Mr.. Editor try your hand at get
ting another roller mill. l heard
one man say that he would take
one-third of the stock. l think in
one day you can get that little in
dustry started.

We see by the above that Texas
takes the lead, which is very
good showing. We are glad to see
this showing; then again we must
take into consideration the fact
thatit costs less to live here in Tex
as on account of its short and mild
winters.-Ex.
And when we take in considera-
ton that San Saba's total crops pro
duced average at least 81 per acre
more than any of her sister eoun-
ties it puts San Saba county a long
way ahead.

Mr.. EDITOR. Why is it that
from about this season of the year
until Christmas the roosters crow
much more than at any other sea-

We are unable to answer the
question. Perhaps, Tom Henry,
at The Alliance store, might throw
some light on the subject.

The revised school laws say
the Examining Board shall con-
vene four times each year. But
the State Superintendent has al
ready called two special meetings
of the Board. The same law also
says that a teachers voucher can
not be approved until there is
enough money to the credit of his
district to cash the voucher. Then
why can not the state superintend-
ent rule that teachers vouchers
shall be paid as presented so long
as there is any money in the treas
ury to the credit of the school
fund.
