mers when they we're a: thier wits
end with wheat; in raising spring

cause Texas excels in raising
sheep, and mutton is in as much
demand and as necessary in the
markets as strawberries. NO
BODY said the secretary will
question the ability of Texas for
the production Of raw materia but
the point is will Texas Sell skill
also? South Carolina is manuiac-
turing one.third ofall her cotton
and seding it to the China seas
Our Iowa corn is not profitable
until we realize upon ii by feeding
cattle and horses. You must use
skill with product to make it pro-
ftable. You can always produce as
much cotton as you do now, and
even more, but you must add these
other things also, and add the
skill Of manufacturing to your
cotton" The attention of the

The secretary epitomized the
greatness Of Texas by saying: "if
a man was entirely familiar with
everything in Texas he would have
a liberal education If he knew
nothing else" Continuing he said:
Get your products and skill ready
for the south American and China
sea trade which will open up with
the opening Of an isthmain canal,
and the Nicaragua canal is going
to be cut right away, and this
trade will all be done through the
gulf ports"

the girls industrial school to the A.
and NJ. college the secretary said:
1.-THE industrial school should GER

100 young ladies and 600 young
