Houston. Thursday. March ~
One OF the best features in trade IN Texas
Is the absolute stagnation in meats, repre-
sentative Of one Of the largest packing houses
in the country remarked to a wholesale mer-
chant that he was selling very little meat In
Texas. The jobber informed him that although
every year since the foundation of the hrm
their general business had increased. never
had they sold so little meat as during the
present season
The reason for this is obvious. The Texas
farmer found that so long his smoke house
v,s in the North he kept getting DEEPER in
debt. because bis only available cash product
--sotton--kept ON declining. The farmer at
last realized that while he was unable to
raise the price Of cotton he could do the next
best thing-rase hogs. This he has done
Year by year the Texas planter has raised
more hogs and more corn on which to feed
them, with the result that there are more
hogs in Texas than ever before while the
number continues TO increase The farmer
also raises moiasses these days and cute off
another expense. so that even with cheap
cotton he is not SO badly of after all. and
his condition is improving as he yearly raises
mcIe home products which be formerly
bought
