The twice=a=week herald. (Amarillo, Tex.) 1887-1906, 1906-09-14

magnificent stretch OF boundless feI
tile soil, whose acres are counte
by the thousands and multiplied re-
suits, with its salubrlous climate
where the torrid summers heat
constantly famed by the pure healtI
giving breeze that waves the meade,
and fields Of grain, and the crlsl
cool light fall and winter air tina
puts the red blood bounding through
ones veins and makes us feel tina
we must be up and doing free from
the dread malaria and common III
OF low damp attitudes. must ulti
mately make for the husbandman Of
this a goal for the pursuit of whose
labors and harvests there ls no Other
place on this or other continents tC
equal.
While but little beyond the expe-
rimental stage, you have demonstrate
cd. as the lawyer would say by In
controvertible evidence, that here in
telligent seasonable labors are re.
warded by bountlful harvests tina,
may be safely sarnSsod and na@vlsataa
at a fair profit over and above the
cost and labor Of production. and in
many instances amounting to more
tina nthe cost Of the lands titled.
This too, not with one or two I'M
certain crops whose yearly values
are fluctuating and OF doubtful esti-
mate from seed time to harvest. but
a variety OF tsaple crops the annual
consumption OF which insures steady
demand and value. And gentlemen,
you are surprised, almost to open
mouth wonder, at what can be sue
cessfully grown In this climate, and
the endless variety OF products that
offer opportunities for liberalization.
IL Is not the case OF the good old
farmer that found cause to complain
OF his bill OF fare nor his optimistic
neighbor who said that he had reg
ular change, bread and meat one
meal and meat and bread the next.
Gentlemen farming up here ought
TO be an idealistc dream. While you
have no trees at the turn row where
you can sit In the shade and wipe
away the persplration trickling down
your nose and chin, yet you do not
need them. You may not have re-
called TO memory the story OF the
boy blowing stumpy ground and cuss-
Ing and the preacher passing en-
Joining upon him the sin and useless
hess OF profanity, and the trial and
example OF the preacher with the
blow and his forgetfullness when the
blow shares would suddenly lurch
him in the short ribs as It grazed
! hidden root, but for these disad-
'antages you are partly recompensed
by the splendid landscape view
around you, where 1t was said by
Mark Twain, l believe, 20 ucan see
! flee on a coyote nine miles away.
Farming In the Panhandle with
is variety, may have some of the
disadvantages set forth in piece
cad few days ago, in q coloquy
'etween two neighbors as to a third
hat was experimenting with varie-
ies OF wheat. One asked the other
What success the third was hav-
ng. why" said the other, he is
! crank. He watched that wheat
nd studied II, and the bugs began
.ttacking It and he got to studying
he bugs ad experimenting with them
nd now has forgotten all about the
Wheat and is experimenting with
Jugs"
Gentlemen these Farmers con-
ireses offer you opportunities for
he exchange OF ideas and COMPARE
on Of experiences that is invaluable
you. II is not within the range
{ possibility for each man to plant,
evelop, test and experiment with
very product of the soil nor with
ny one for that matter so as to at
ain the best results, but here you
lay learn from your nelghbor the
tactical methods, OF best doing what !
