SECRETLY H. 3. DORSEY MAKES

NEW GLUCOSE FACTORY,

Weatherford, Texas, April 8.-Reali2
Ing the good work the leading pa
pers OF our state are doing regard
ing diversifiCation and other matter!
pertaining to the agricultural interest
OF the state. and also their desire tc
serve their readers, l desire to sug.
gest a matter, which | feel is of con.
siderable interest to the AGRICULTURAL
and grain interests of Texas.
Now that there seems to be a de-.
termination on the part of the farm
ers to decrease acreage of cotton, thew
are of course looking for something
to substitute. Of course, farmers do
not like to plant very much of anv
one product, unless they know they
will have market. That is the rea-
son SO much cotton is planted. There
IS always market at some price. The
object of this article is to call atten
ton of the farmers and others inter
ested to new market, which will
shortly be opened for our Texas corn.
and in view of the fact that our corn
zones in considerably earlier than any
,ther state, and as we are located
learer the place than any other state
which produces any considerable guam
ity of corn, and as we could get our
orn gathered and on the market at
time when other states are out Of

hat it would be better for the farm.
