Camphor Farming In Texas.

Camphor farms are the latest addi-
tion to the resources of the Lone Star
state. So far there are only two,
both of which are operated by the
government, but Texans confidently
expects their state to become one of the
great camphor producing regions of
the world. +.
Practically the entire supply of
camphor now comes from Formosa.
The demand has increased to such an
extent that the attention of all the
leading countries of the world has
been directed to opening up a new
source of supply. This is made neces-
sary by the fact that in the manufac-.
ture of modern explosives which are
used in high power guns camphor
forms an important ingredient.
Now that the Japanese government
controls the worlds supply of the
product, it is by no means certain
that it may be obtained in the desired
quantities at all times in the future.
In order to provide against any such.
contingency as this the growth of the
camphor shrub is being encouraged in
Texas.
The camphor experimental farm at
Wharton was established nearly
year ago. The shrubs have thrived
wonderfully we'll, and they are now as
high as man. head.
The process in operation in For
mosa for extracting the camphor is to
chop the trees down and cut them into
small pieces, from which the camphor
is then distilled. DR.. Watkins will
adopt a different method in Texas.
He sows the camphor seeds like
wheat or oats, and the shrub quickly
sprouts. When it has attained
heighth of about three feet it will be
cut down by moving machine at
height of about one foot from the
ground. The several portions will
be put through the distilling process
and the camphor extracted.
From the tender stubble other
shoots will spring up, and the cutting
process can be repeated once a year
for several years. It is asserted that
better quality of camphor can be
obtained by this method than by the
ancient process that is in use in For
mosa. The crop requires no attention
except the sowing and harvesting. IT,.
1t is claimed by DR.. Watkins that a
large portion of southwest Texas is
specially adapted to successful cam
phor growing. At present prices One
acre of camphor would yield "a profit
of about $3.50. It is expected, how
ever, that when it's cultivation becomes
general in Texas there will be a drop
in prices

One of Watterson's Hot Tamales.


Bravo, Governor Hughes! True
words are scarce, brave words are
scarcer, whilst justice has become al
most an unknown quantity in our
public life! Verify, it seems the day
of the noisy zealot, of the cheap
pharisee, of jack-in-office looking to
the next election! One seeks in vain
for enlightened and courageous dis
interestedness. Hence, in the matter
of the veto of the arbitrary two-cent-
a-mile bill, passed against hardly any
opposition by the speckled pups of
the New York legislature, seeking
through a single act of cowardice to
conceal their many acts of corruption,
we say, bravo, Governor Hughes
In the course of his veto message
the governor points out "that the pas
sage of the bill was not preceded by
legislative investigation or suitable
inquiry under the authority of the
state. Nor is the fixing of the rate
based upon reports of statistics offici-
ally collated which would permit
fair conclusion as to the justice of it's
operation with reference to the rail-
roads within it's purview.''
Certainly not! The reptiles who
walk on two legs in the image of men
and go to the state, capitals to sell
themselves like cattle, have no
thought of anything except that which
they think will fool the people. What
cared those assemblymen who have
been separated from their railway
passes for the revelations to be got
out of statistics? Why should they
pause to investigate? They saw but
two things-the reduced rate would be
popular and be damned to the rail
