THE CLIMATE
The climate has been alluded to
in a general way before, but we will
say further, that during summer and
fall it is almost ideal. No hot sultry
nights here as in lower attitudes
cover is always necessary for COM
fort at all seasons. There is rarely
any very cold weather until January
and the worst is generally over by
March; zero weather is an exception

have winds during the spring months,
but destructive tornadoes and cy-
clones are unknown here,
CANYON CITY
While Canyon City lays no claim
to being the best place in the world
it does not fear inspection upon the
part of those who desire to live and
raise their families in a good town,
with refined highly moral citizen
ship and exceptionally fine business
opportunities it rather invites this
inspection.
The town is situated on an
eminence which forms the divide be-
tween the Palo Duro and TERRA
Blanco Creeks at this point about
two miles apart, This gives it
natural drainage impossible to secure
at almost any other town on the
Plains. One result of this is that
Canyon City today can show a
cleaner bill of health than any other

THE LONE STAR STATE.
Continued from page p

of time shows 2l.6 inches and Chi
cago, Illinois, only 1917 inches.
According to government authority
10 inches is amply sufficient for
staple crops and this is abundantly
proven by South Dakota. which on a
general average Of less than 10 in
Ches is well in the front as an agri-
cultural success. And then, again, by
observation of our rainfall table it
will readily be seen that rain on the
Plains falls chiefly doing the warm
months-the growing season-thus
giving this section an enormous ad-
vantage over many agricultural
countries where the rainfall, though
heavier than ours for the whole
year, comes down chiefly in late
fall and early spring when rather a
disadvantage than otherwise. If
you reside out of this state compare
the facts here given with your own
rainfall and note the difference.
The experience of The News editor
is, that the rainfall in Randall
county is ample for all staple crops
suited to the climate, if given proper
cultivation.
RANDALL COUNTY PRODUCTIONS
In speaking of crops it must be
understood that very little if any
farming was done in Randall county,
or anywhere else on the Central
Plains for that matter, prior to
1884. The purpose here, how
ever, is to 60 back as far as possible
to the beginning, when we came,
that the reader may Judge Of the
possibilities Of the future by the his
tory Of the pasta safe rule always.
As general rule all field crops of
the Middle States succeed here.
There are exceptions however, both
for and against US in comparison
and of some of these, if not all, We
will now speak.
INDIAN CORN-On this staple we
concede that the Central Plains is
not what an Indiana or Illinois man
would call "corn country" Corn
will grow though and one year with
another produce as well as any
other part Of Texas, the river bot
toms alone excepted. Rev. B. 7.
Johnson, Baptist preacher orig
inally from Kentucky-now OF this
county. says, that during his thir-
teen years residence in Randall
and the adjoining county Of Arm
strong he has made that many corn
crops, that his average yield per
acre for the term would not fall short
of twenty bushels, and that several
years out of the thirteen, he has
made as high as forty and even fifty
bushels per acre, Not bad is it?
The News editor has an idea that it
takes hot nights to mature great
Yields of corn and these we don't
have on the Plains nor do we desire
them.
MAIZE AND KAFFIR CORN These
are sure crops in Randall county;
nowhere do they grow and yield to
better advantage. 1t is not at all
uncommon for maize and Kafir to
Canyon City news. (Canyon City, Tex.) 1903-1908, 1906-06-29

town, according to population on the
Plains. We confidently challenge
anybody to refute this statement.
The present population of the town
is close to 500. The scholastic
census, just completed shows 26S,
which when added to those between
the ages of seventeen and twenty will
make the number approximately $50
children enrolled as eligible under
the law for entry in the fall term of

The town is on the Pecos Valley
and Southern Kansas Railway, a
branch of the Santa Fe system which,
as soon as the Texas Belen-cut- off is
completed, now almost done, is to
become the main line of the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe from the
great commercial centers OF the East
to the gateways of the Pacific in
California. 1t is also the terminus
of another Santa Fe branch, the

bargain prices, but it won t last long
this way.
All the mllet family thrive in
Plains soil in fact when once sown
it hangs on year after year and you
can hardly get "shut" of it. And
as to sorghum, no country can beat
the Plains for this class of forage.
OF other forage crops it may truth
fully be stated that all tried SO far
have proven success.
Hoes, CHICKENS ETC.-T h e
Plains hog is fully as good as those
produced in the corn states or any
where else. Hog cholera is I'M
known here and Plains hogs finished
on native crops have always brought
top prices in the Kansas City or Fl.
Worth markets. Turkeys, chickens
and all fowls are also money makers
here-nowhere do they do better.
FRUITS-The apple, plum, cherry
and grape leading, have all SO far
done well-see cuts taken from life
in this paper, The small fruits are
just being introduced and right now
some of our citizens are eating fine
strawberries from plants set out this
spring, They promise big results
and so do the bush fruits such as
gooseberrieS.
VEGETABLES-In this department
we can safely say that nowhere do
vegetables grow to better advantage
than in Randall county. The writer
has visited the truck gardens of the
coast; he has seen and for years
partaken of the luscious melon and
other growths OF the famous lower
Colorado River truck farms, but
never there, or anywhere else, has
he seen Randall county surpassed IN
the melon or vegetable line. Cab
bage, good sound ones, weighing 20
pounds and over are not rare during
their season in Randall county. And
melons and cantaloupes, TIE writer
loves them dearly, seem to taste
better here than any we have ever
eaten-they are good enough to eat
''under the shade of the trees by
the side of that River that "never
runs dry.
WATER FACILITIES
Nothing, perhaps, save the air we
breathe, among all of Natures gifts
is so essential to mans welfare,
comfort and happiness, as pure,
clear, cold water and plenty of it.
In this respect Randall county and
the whole Plains country for that
matter, is particularly blessed. In
dependent of the creeks named, pc
culiar to this county alone, and the
numerous fresh water lakes in which
the county abounds, there is an in
exhaustible sheet of pure, cold water
underlying the entire country. 1t
may be tapped anywhere at depth
of from 90 to $50 feet and at a
nominal cost, say 80 cents per foot.
These wells are through soil and
clay all the way down, the water
usually being "struck' in kind of
pack sand. No curbing is needed
further than a joint or so at the bot
tom, and nothing so far has been
Canyon City news. (Canyon City, Tex.) 1903-1908, 1906-06-29

yield $500 pounds of heads or grain
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 it is far more profitable to
raise. AS horse feed, either in
the head or ground, we regard it as
much better than Indian corn and
hogs running in pasture and finished
on it, shipped from Randall county
in car lots, have always commanded
top prices in the great markets.
WHEAT AND ATs-Last year the
average yield per acre in this county
was about twenty bushels. Deaf
Smith county, joining US on the
west, claims an average of thirty
bushels for last years crop, and
general average of twenty bushels
per acre for the next preceding
eleven years, one failure alone ex-
copied, that of 1908. Oats have
also done well but as they have been
mostly fed in the bundle or baled,
the editor of The News has been
unable to come at, with any degree
of accuracy, the yield per acre.
Several old settlers, however, say
that the general average would run
about "forty or fifty bushels"
One old settler and strictly reliable
citizen, George Caller, Post office
Happy, this county, originally from
Grayson County, North Texas, who
has been here some thirteen years,
says, that these crops, in fact all
small grains, will do fully as we'll
in Randall as in his old county of
Grayson. Rye and barley, to the
extent tried, have also made fine
showing.
FORAGE CROPs-Perhaps the lead
er of this line is alfalfa. Some of it
is grown on the uplands or Plains
proper, but by far the greaterl por-
ton of it is from the valleys ofIthe
creeks mentioned, the Palo Duro
and TERRA Blanco. These valleys
of which there are estimated to be
some ten thousand acres in Randall
county are termed "sub-irrigated,"
it being only from eight to ten feet
down to the water. AS yet only
about one thousand acres of this has
been "set" in alfalfa. In this there
is practically nothing to do but cut,
bale and haul to market-Canyon
City, where $40 per ton has been the
prevailing price for all so far offered.
1t usually makes about FIVE cuttings
to the season of about one ton!to the
acre at each cutting. Much of the
alfalfa produced here has been ship
ped to Fort Worth and other eastern
points in Texas, and has been pro.
nounced there as far superior in
quality as hay to either the Kansas
product or that from the irrigated
lands of the Pecos Valley. An al
falfa field is great and most desir-
able thing to possess; our people
are realizing this fact and many
acres have been sown this year.
Full information about these alfalfa
lands and the prices at which they
may be obtained can be had of any
agent named in this issue. They
are cheap now and may be had at
Canyon City news. (Canyon City, Tex.) 1903-1908, 1906-06-29

THE TRUTH ABOUT CROSBY
NORTH DAKOTA TOWN SUFFERS
THRU REPORTS SAID NOT TO BE
STRICTLY RELIABLE. T

Crosby, N. D., is agitated over what
1t terms unpleasant newspaper notoriety
concerning q conflict between the 500
and Great Northern lines over ultimate
location Of the site. 49,
Certain apparently inspired articles
preston as to the situation. In brief,
citizen Of Crosby, who is attending
the state fair, says the situation is
this: -,
"The old town Of Crosby, three miles
from TIE new town on the 500 and two
miles from the new townsite Of the
Great Northern, contains twenty-six
houses, fourteen Of which have definite
~ decided to go to the 500 town. Lots
at the new 500 town have been sold
for the general purposes Of banks, gen
eral stores, hardware, drugstore, livery
laid to the town and sidetracks are in
Elevators are being built, stocks of lum-
Der are arriving for the three import
ant yards, grain is being shipped out,
Several buildings are under construc-
ton and foundations are being laid for
more. so much for the 500. --s--...-..-
The Great Northern town has not
as yet been opened, and no grade worth
mentioning has been completed within
sixty miles Of Crosby. When left
Sept.S1 there were no materials In sight
except row Of lath running across the
prairie and ending in the vicinity Of
Crosby. A great many people profess
to believe that the Great Northern does
not intend building the line. Few be-
ieye the line will be completed this
fall.
In view Of this condition Of things
II seems probable that business done at
that point will have to be done at the
500 station for smother year at least.
just where the principal town will be
will depend on the class of railway &C.
comma dations furnished to the people.
The people make the Contemplating towns
Of the prairies, not q few merchants
who are seeking some selfish ad.
