Importance of the Cotton Crop.

Nor is this interest felt in the cotton
producing states confined to the American
Union. The failure of our crop threatens
with idleness half the ships of commerce,
and half the inhabitants of the civilized
world look to our cotton fields for raiment
Thus. every consideration invests the cot
ton culture with absorbing interest, and
every effort of industry and art TO increase
and secure this great crop is looked to with
anxious, national concern. Such is the
adaptation of our soil and climate to the pro-
duction of cotton, ranking in staple the
finest in the worlds markets, that one-fifth
of her territory could produce an annual
crop greater than is now gathered from all
the cotton fields OH the globe. And yet we
have more than 100 900, 900 of acres IN
touched by the plow. The time is coming.
and that right rapidly, when we Shall hold
the balance of power in the cotton eX
changes OF the continent and the world.
If Texas has demonstrated her capacity
for raising all the cotton required to supply
the looms of the world, her soil and climate
have not less conclusively shown that she
can produce the cereals TO feed the millions
of the earth's inhabitants in large degree
The grains growing capabilities of Texas are
just beginning TO be tested. For the past
few years wheat was only grown to meet
the necessities of limited sections. IN the
more recent periods the product has been
wonderfully increased, and the yield last
year was over IL, O0O,000 bushels.

Area of Territory.

Texas is the largest of the American
states, greater in extent than New York,
PENNSYLVANIA Ohio. Virginia. Maryland.
Delaware and the six New England states
all combined Within her borders are more
than IL. 900. 900 of acres of land-214 :}66
square miles Of territory; bounded on the
north and west by the Indian Territory,
New Mexico and Mexico. and the south and
east by the Gulf of Mexico and Louisiana.
This great area lies between the twenty
sixth and thirtysiNth degrees of north
latitude. and It's northwestern Panhandle"
extends nearly 10 the border line of Kansas.
In topography Texas is naturally divided
into three parts:
l. The seaboard, extending from the Sa-
bine TO the Rio Grande, nearly 1000 miles
IN length, and running inland from seventy
five 10 100 miles.
. The uplands Of middle Texas. This
great belt constitutes the largest area of
The state BY actual survey of engineers it

forests and prairies, watered by unfailing
streams.
g. The great plains, including the Llano
Estacado, and the table lands, stretching
Jar 10 the West and Northwest. These
plains are now and then broken by lofty
mountain ranges-on the headwaters of the
Red, the Peces, and the Brazos rivers.

Demand for Lumber Increasing.

But this great forest has only been pene-
trated by railways within the last ten years,
and the rapidly increasing populations to
the West, with the large number Of rail
ways built within that territory, have in
creased the demand enormously. 1t should
be borne in mind that the United States
consume annually thirty billion feet of lum-
Der, while the annual growth is perhaps not
10 per cent of this amount. II the entire
supply of the United States should be cut
from the forests of Louisiana and Texas
they would be consumed in about four
years. But the area to be actually supplied
is equal to that of twelve states like New
York. It's within the bounds of reason to
say that this great forest is the only source
from which lumber can be supplied to a
very large part of the United States at a
reasonable price.
We have over 1000 square miles of iron
ore land that will yield from IS to G5 per
Cent of pure metallic iron. In Eastern
Texas" lies the greatest area of iron ore. In
the Llano district marvellous product is
obtained as good as the Swedish iron, out
