Groesbeeek Texas June s.-One has only
TO take a trip over the Houston and Texas

thai the cotton acreage IN that part ot tne
state has been very much decreased The
fields OF cotton arc very much ia the minor
ity, On tho north side OF the road / noticed
particularly, and ! don't believe there were
more than ten helds OF cotton between Dallas
and sherman on that side of the road all was
wheat. oats and corn, Think OF Il. only about
one held OF cotton to each ten miles dt is
sixty -four miles from Dallas to sherman.
Then you find new threshors being shipped to
such points as Mexia. Groesbeeck Thornton
hosse. etc; that shows an increase In the
wheat and cats acreage. where heretofore ali
was cotton and corn. Let the good work Of
diversheation OF crops continue Let each
tar~er have a few hogs a few calves, a few
