TEXAS EGGS IN CUBA.
THOUSANDS OF DOZENS SHIPPED
TO MEXICO AND CUBA.
CONTROL OF CUBAN MARKET.
Consul Baehr States Any Firm Which
Could Give Reasonable Guaran-
tee Could Supply the Island.

Galveston, Tex: It will undoubted-
ly surprise the young lady of the farm
or the housewife who goes out daily
to gather eggs for the market to
know that great many Of the eggs
discovered by her in hidden nests and
out Of the way corners, or those she
takes from the regulation boxes pre-
pared for the convenience of the hen,
are consumed in foreign countries.
During the last five months no less
than 71,250 dozens of eggs have been
exported through the port of Calves
ton to Cuba and Mexico. OF this
number 21,360 dozens went to Mexico
and 1880 dozens to Cuba. Besides
the expectation to foreign countries
of $4,000 eggs in five months, thou
sands of cases of Texas eggs have
been shipped via Galveston to New
York,
The direct service to Mexico and
Cuba and to New York enables the
Galveston merchant to take advantage
of market conditions and rid them
selves of their surplus stock, Very
often the foreign market is in such a
condition that 1t is a paying propo-
sition to sell for export without re-
gard to the local market. This not
only applies to eggs but to poultry,
and the market is broadened for Tex
as producers;
According to a recent report of Con-
sui Max Baehr of Cienfuegos, the de-
mand for fresh eggs in Cuba is always
good and sometimes prices go as high
as $1.20 per dozen. This does not ap.
ply to imported eggs, which, he says,
are unreliable, but 50 to $40 a case
is often received from the wholesaler,
and the consul adds that anyf firm
which could guarantee the imported
eggs to a reasonable extent would be
able to control the Cuban market
Thus far most of the eggs imported
into Cuba go via Miami, Fla, only
$3.50 dozens leaving Galveston Tor Gu
ban ports from Sept. to Feb. l.. How
ever, the direct service of three lines
of steamers from Galveston opens up
the market for Texas producers.
In connection with the Cuban de.
mand Consul Baehr writes:
L,s--ss. rss,zeeo W.
lnand and bring a high price, They
are retailed at cents each at the
present time, and sometimes reach
the price of 10 cents, while imported
sell from to 6 cents each. I'M
ported eggs come in boxes of 800 each.
A local dealer states that he buys
them from Havana importers, that
case laid down here costs about
$3.50, and that he sells them to re.
tail dealers at from $40 to $11 box.

RUINS OF ARIZONA TO
BE UNCOVERED.
Or. Fewkes Endeavorins to Discover
Chapter from the Life Of Peo-
pie That Lived Centu-
rIes Aao.

The mystery of the Casa Grande
group of ruins in Pinal county, ART
noza, bids fair to be solved, and sci
entists are expectant that what hith.
erto could only be guessed at concern
ing these relics of a prehistoric race
will at last be made clear. DR.. Jesse
Walter Fewkes, the Archaeological, is
engaged in excavation work, and he
is confident that an American Pompeii
will be uncovered from the sands
which for centuries has enveloped
them as a shroud.
, The Casa Grande group of ruins has
been known and written about for up.
ward of 200 years. They take their
name from the. Casa Grande, the main
ruin. Castaneda, one of the chron-
lclers of Coronado's expedition into
Arizona in 1910. speaks OF "a struc-
ture In ruins and without roof
which by some is supposed to refer to
the Casa Grande. But the first au-
thentic account of the ruin is that
Of the Jesuit Father Kino, who visit
ca it IN 1884, and said mass within its
crumDling walls. i.a
Archaeologists who have inspected
the ruins OF Casa Grande are OF the
opinion that they are the remains of
buildings erected by branch of the
Pueblo race, or some allied people, but
the investigation of single ruin is
not sufficient for arriving at con-
clusion regarding the builders of the
prehistoric city. The probabilities are

ACCOUNTING FOR THE FLY.
Explanation That Probably Did Not

Before sailing for Egypt for the
winter James Hazen Hyde said at a
farewell dinner in New York;
"The only drawback to a tropical
winter is the flies. In the hot sun of
a January day in Egypt Morocco or
Algeria the flies are an incredible
pest. You see them in the corners
of the eyes of native children and
men lie asleep in sunny places with
flies crawling over their lips.
The natives don't mind the flies. In
fact, they like them. At boorj or
native inn in the Sahara a traveller
said to the waiter, pointing indignant
ly at his stew of barley and goats
flesh:
%How comes this dead fly in my
couscous?' .

ern landowners and tenant farmers to
make as much as possible from their
cotton, corn, pastures, fruit and other
products.
The opportunity for improvement
is immense. The average harvest in
the south is national disgrace, as
to many staples of agriculture. The
yield ought to be more than doubled,
IN whole states, on the same acreage.
There is defective tillage, lack of fer
tilizing and careless ignorance of the
rotation of crops and the use of the
soil. In great part these evils arc due
to want of knowledge of the soil and
Of the reeds of farms. Gross mis-
takes are made for lack of informal
ton concerning seed and the adapta-
ton of crops to fields. There is
urgent need of enlightenment all
along these lines. The money spent

Leader, be money well invested. 1t
