In Texas in 1902 the report by counties
brings the total to slightly more than 200,-
600 acres. In this area planted 1t is shown
that $4,000 or little more than one-fourth
Of the total is planted in Harris and ad-
Joining counties. Nearly one-half, or $1,000
acres are planted In a section to NyhIlih
Houston is nearer than any other market
and from which the output would have TO
pass through Houston In reaching another
market. In Jefferson and adjacent counties
the area planted amounts to 60,00o acres,
or little more than one-fourth of the crop.
Other estimates Of the crop carry the same
pruportionate figures as this. With this
Yield naturally seeking an outlet at Hous-
ton and the milling facilities expanded TO
the size necessary for handling It that con
centration Of conditions for making the in
terests Of the planter and buyer suhseryed
in one place win be realized. Transporta-
ton facilities equal to any IN the South,
with all dangers of congestion in ship
ments removed, adequate storage room and
ample money at all times obtainable for
handling the product IN any form will be
among the features that viii aid the city

building OF twelve mills means the invest

employment OF more than 500 men on
