DIRECTORS:

only one failure, that of 1908
Rye and barley do about as
well, and oats are simply good
enough. Milo maize and Katfir
corn make immense crops on the
Plains as does also alfalfa, mil
let, California wheat and the
sorghum family 1t is not I'M
common for maize and Kaffir to
yield 2, 500 pounds of grain or
heads per acre, and as this is
equal pound for pound in feed
value with Indian corn and the
fodder much superior to that of
Indian corn, it will be seen that
this is not at all bad in itself.
Indian corn this year has made
from % to so bushels per acre.
FRUITS and VEGETABLES
Apples, plums, cherries, grapes
and all the bush and vine growth
such as gooseberries etc, excel
in quality on the Plains and no
country on earth can beat this
for vegetables. We have cab
bage, caulitlower, rhubarb, pO-
tatoes, beetS, onions and in fact
all the vegetable kind in size,
quality and quantity such as
few countries can come up with
there's money, good money in
this line alone for lots OF people.
Melons, cantaloupes, etc, grow
almost wild here and of such
size and flavor as would almost
stagger belief-they can't be
surpassed for goodness all the
way through on the globe-they
are good enough to eat "under
the shade of the trees" by the
Canyon City news. (Canyon City, Tex.) 1903-1908, 1905-12-01
zen years as follows

1905 estimated at a 90 in.
When we consider that the
winters here are usually dry, a
thing to be greatly desired in
any country, it can readily be
seen that the above rainfall,
coming chiefly in the growing
season. is amply sufficient for
all staple crops. ,B Compare
this with your own rainfall and
note the difference.
CROPS.-The small grains,
wheat leading, have done well
here for several years. This
year the average wheat yield
per acre for this, Randall, coun-
ty was over twenty bushels.
Deaf Smith County, joining us
on the west, claims an average
of thirty bushels for this season,
and of twenty bushels per acre
for the past twelve years with

side of that River that ''never
runs dry"
w TER FACILITIES. No
country is better Watered than
the Plains. This county, Ran
dali, has two running Creeks
fed by numerous living springs,
the Palo Dura and the Terra
Blanco which, heading in New
Mexico, run directly through
the county; they come together
Just below the town of Canyon
City and enter the gorges of the
famous Palo Dura Canyon and
thence to the Red River of
which they are the head waters
Independent OF these creeks and
also OF the numerous fresh
water lakes in which the coun-
try abounds, there is an mex
hausta BILE sheet of cold, pure wa
ter, Gods greatest natural gift,
derlaying the entire Plains
which may be tapped anywhere
at depth of from 40 to lao feet
at nominal cost. say % cents
per foot. These wells are
through soil and clay all the
way down, need no curbing and
nothing so far has been found
capable of pumping them dry.
Randall county is about cen
ira lly located in the Panhandle,
and aside from the bra kes
which form the watersheds of
the two creeks mentioned, it is
all ara bic Plains land, the nor
thern portion of it being of the
black tight variety and the
southern part containing more

sand which gives it that char
acterlstic, highly valued by
some farmers, OF securing a
pillow at all seasons. Either
kind produces well and each
has its friends. Randall has
some advantages not possessed
~ her sister counties of the
Plains among which are:-Its
central location; it's railroad
facilities; its running streams,
stocked with black bass and
other dainties of he tinny tribe;
its cedar and other natural tim
Der growths and its beautiful
and romantic canyon scenery.
We who reside here think, per-
haps naturally, that the lands
of Randall, being Of what IS
known as the Central Plains,
are just a little better than
those of our sister counties, but
anyway-all are good.
OWNs.-The towns of the
central Plains in point of size
are: Amarillo with 5000 pOpu
lation, Hereford with 1900,
Canyon City with 1900, and as
you leave the railroad going
south; Tulia with 400, Plain
view 600, and Lubbock 500.
Other towns of this central
plateau are Silverton, Floyd ada
and Emma each having perhaps
800 people. All these are coun-
ty seat towns and the popula-
ton given is estimated There
are other good towns, Lockney
for example, but the purpose
here was to name the county
seats only. The three first
named towns have railroads,
the others are inland. Amarillo
has 3 railroads and is division
quarters with shops, thus max
ing her what is commonly called
railroad center. She also en-
lows the distinction of being on
the northern edge of this cen
trail Plains plateau and also,
along with Lubbock, which is
on the southern rim of the pla-
teau, of having the only whis-
key shops on the Central Plains.
All the other towns, counties
included are strictly prohibition.
Hereford is a good town and is
growing better every day, her
advance over her railroad rivals
in the sense of permanent solid
growth, being largely due to
the fact that she has turned her
attention more to agricultural

THE TEXAS PANHANDLE.
THE BEST. PART OF IT.
The Central Plains.


especially that portion of it
known as the Plains, is now at
tracing world wide attention.
Imagine gently rolling prairie
some two hundred miles either
way and almost without a break,
with no rocks, chalky places or
bad spots, but all fine land and
you haye before you what is
called here the Plains Country.
The soil is what would be
termed a black sandy loan; in
some places, for several miles
perhaps, it is black and sticky
Called tight and in other places
free, owing to its proportion OF
sand, but all OF it is very fertile.
At present all of this country
the Plains-exCept where in
cultivation, is covered with a
close turf of mesquite grass,
making the finest pasturage in
the world, summer and winter,
and only equaled in nutritious
value by the celebrated grazing
grounds of Australia. 1t is
very difficult for the people of
the North and East, and even
for some of our South and East
Texas folks to realize that this
Countrywide Plains-is the lar
gest body of uniformly rich
prairie land on the North Amer
lean continent. Only a few
years ago it belonged or rather
was held by the ''cattle barons, y
and they, knowing good thing
as we'll as anybody, kept it to
themselves until the advent of
railroads.
Now, all is changed, for with
the railroads came the man of
small means, the chester" and
his tribe, the Spectator and
finally the farmer. The fertili-
ty of the soil is truly wonderful,
even first year-sod-producing
crops of such magnitude as to
often pay three times the cost
of the land that has been sim
ply turned over, and frequently
with only two horses at that.
That we Of the Texas Plains are
"well fixed the following facts
abundantly show:
RAINFALL.-The government
records at Amarillo, which Is on
the north line of this county,
Randall, and about centrally
located in the Panhandle, show
the annual rainfall for the past
ten years as follows:

not scarce about Hereford.
CANYON CITY.-This town,
our own county seat, for a long
time and now the main stock
shipping point on the Plains,
as also the main depot and dis
tributing point for ALI the South
Counties, is just now waking up,
as it were, to the vast agriCul-
tural and commercial possible
ties ahead of her. While not
ignorant of the fact that with
the departure of the railroad
South away goes most of her
stock shipping business, and
perhaps, for awhile, the major
portion of her wholesale trade,
yet, she is looking forward to
the now almost certain Santa
Fe Washburn cutoff. This
with her already assured road
to the South will make of Can
yon City what she now straget-
ically is-the leading CONNER
cial town of the Plains, a coun-
trV that within itself will equal
if not surpass in productiveness
any country of Its area anywhere
in these United States.
