Never before has there been such a
demand for farm labor, and good
prices are being paid. 1t has been
estimated that Southwest Texas will
lose 100000 bales of cotton this year
on account of the scarcity of picliers.
This fact, together with the further
fact that the price of new corn is go
ing skyward and that much corn will
doubtless have to be imported before
the next crop comes in ought TO af-
ford the farming interests a valuable
object lesson.-Karnes City News.
1t teaches the lesson that the farm
ers of Texas should unite to secure by
immigration or otherwise a more ade-
quate supply of farm labor. In this
way the heavy loss from unpicked cot
ton would not be sustained and sufi-
cient corn would be raised to obviate
importation If 100000 bales of cot
ton were lost for lack of pickers this
represents at $50 bale approximate
ly s1O,OOO,OOO. A 1.-THE of this if spent
in inducing laborers to come to Texas
might have saved the other $4,000, 900.

Speaking of the new railway era the
Chicago Inter-ocean says:
Sometimes the new railway comes
from the discovery that natural condi-
lions are not as traditionally supposed
to be- The new line now pushing
along the Texas coast from Galveston
to the Rio Grande is the result of such
a discovery. For more than three
hundred years the southeastern tri-
angle OF Texas has> been set down as
a desert. A railway manager seeking
territory out of which to make a rail-
way shoestring running down from
Colorado pay exploded the tradition.
All the country needed to be another
south California was water. His pros
pectors found under it the biggest ar
tesian well reservoir in the country.
Since then the name of B. F. Yoa-
kun has been one to conjure with in
