President Yoakum, of the Frisco, re-
turned yesterday. after trip over the
line and thru the western and south
western country. He looked carefully
into crop conditions and says Since
the recent general rains thruout the
country the crop Indications are much
better than indicated by reports which
have appeared the last couple of weeks
in addition to riding over the line drove
over large territory in order that
might acquaint myself with actual con-
ditions. 1 believe the corn crop along
the Frisco line, exclusive of Kansas, will
be one half the regular crop. The total
revenue from corn handled by the Fris-
co last year Was less than 9 per cent of

considering the fact that farmers and all
classes Of producers have been more
prosperous The past few years and at
present have larger bank accounts than
ever before, the drought is not going to
