TEXAS AS SHE Is.

The San Antonio Times IL review
ing the report of commissioner Eos
ter, chief of the Department of Ag-
riculture, says that there could be
no better advertisement for Texas
than the free distribution of this
work to applicants for it from other
states.
The total value Of our cotton crop
in 1885 was S4S, 1855, 795, showing an
increase of over six million dollars
in one year. But during the same
period, the crops of barley, rye, mil
let, Irish potatoes, cultivated and
prairie hay, sorghum for net fell of.
In all of the cases where these food
crops for man and beast decreased,
the era planted was smaller, SO shat
the decrease may be fairly attribu-
ted to q neglect to plant those vege-
tables which contribute to make the
farmer more independent Of the
merchant. While fewer acres Of
sweet potatoes were planted, the
yield to the acre was greater and
the value of this crop was, IN 1852,
81, 329,795. In the older Southern
States it used to be said in deprecia
ton of the worn out lands that they
were too poor to sprout out any
thing but sweet potatoes and pea
nuts" These crops, worth millions
in the aggregate, will grow on the
poorest lands. They only need a
market to give value to their merits,
and should be extensively cultivated.
The total value OF our cotton seed
orchards and gardens IL 1885, was
SUGGESTS, and these industries
are yet in their infancy awaiting
larger development by the appIica-
ton of scientific culture to smaller
areas.
Shelby is the only county credited
with peanuts, and on 12S acres were
produced crops valued at S4,466, an
average of over S34 to the acre.
Rusk is the champion county for
peas, and on an acreage of 1854
acres raised crop valued at
S45,T06.
Since 1887, the decrease in the
purchases of lard and bacon from
other States is $73S, 1856, showing
that we are slowly realizing the fact
that we can live on home products.
But we sent out over six million
dollars to buy articles which we can
raise at home-more than one-half
Of the amount being for -four. This
money should be kept within our
OWN borders. The value of our live
stock is $91, 402,1S4.
The total bonded indebtedness of
,he State and counties is less than
eleven million dollars, and the aver
lge rate of taxation on the 500 is
).5T9. In Understanding bonds
md Understanding land notes
here are over seventeen million del,
ars to the credit of the State pub
ic school endowment fund, besides
Is, 100000 acres of unsold lands.
This is a magnificent showing
hat no other state can equal and
he distribution of the official re-
'ort, would be indeed a grand ad-
for the state.

Born of "a plurality of votes, he is

He tryeth to bring his expenses

succeeded, his pay is reduced to 50

He introduceth many bills, they
go to a committee and are never

He passeth a law for separate
coaches for blacks and whites, then
finds himself sitting near a dark
skined woman who is neither black
nor white, but whose ancestors came
from Congo. Then he catches the
smallpox from Mexican in red
blanket who sits just behind him.
He passeth a law to accept the
Confederate home, and appropriates
$4,000 to support it, then proposes
an amendment to the constitution to
make his law legal.
He essays speech, you see his
lips moving, his arms raised like an
inverted sawhorse and revolving
like a windmill, but you hear him
not. He siteth down and curseth the
architect who constructed Q hall I'M
fit for an orator to speak in.
He beleiveth in the democratic
doctrine that the people are the
best governed who are the least
governed, but with the reservation,
provided the laws are not made by

end.
He gets so confused over the
