Governor Culberson surprised some
people with facts presented in his Om-
aha speech. and such sentences as the
following will give them thinking ma
terial for some time to come: 1T is es-
timated that about 20 per cent OF the
entire exports of the United States
come direct from the farm, and p per
cent. of this 20 per cent. came last year

In the event that the government de
cides to maintain an army 10000
strong, large number of new posts
would probably be established through
out the country to accommodate the
troops. In that event would it not be
a good idea for our citizens to organize
and promote a scheme to make old Fort
COncho one of the regimental head
quarters? For a few thousand dollars
it could be repaired and be
made first class fort. The
health OF the troops should be consid-
cred in a matter Of this kind, and
where on top of this earth can better
health be obtained than in the Concho
| country? The advantages to San An
| gelo for an institution of this kind to
be established here, needs no COM
ment. The Standard would like to
hear from others on this subject.-San
Angelo Standard.
Thus far the cattle dipping expert
ments which have been conducted at
Fort Worth under the direction of the
government have proven successful.
The dreaded cattle tick is easily ami
Inflated and all danger of infection
from Texas fever dispelled. While
there are few matters in connection
with the dipping to be remedied yet,
| the process may be said to be practi-
cslly successful. The Denver Stock
man thinks the Importance of the eX-
periments to the cattle industry of the
| west cannot be estimated, and says
that it means the wiping out of the
great quarant tine line, and that by the
establishment OF dipping stations at
convenient points the cattle from the
infected area of the south can be NOV
ed through the dipping pens to the
northern country to be matured and
| fattened, and that Texas cattle can go
to market on an equality with north
ern cattle. Further developments of
the experiments will be watched with
| interest.--Pecos County Pickings.
