Petroleum Forty centurle. old.


Though 1t Is only within recent
times that petroleum has become an
article OF commerce, there Is abundant
proof that 1t WAS used In the arts 40
centuries ago. The mortar used in con.
structing the walls of Nineveh and
Babylon had petroleum mixed with 1t
for the purpose OF ACQUIRING greater CO.
hesion and excluding dampness.
Traces of the bituminous matter are
very distinct In the ruins. and tho
existence OF petroleum springs at Is.
some hundred and twenty miles from
old Babylon. indicates one source of
the supply. In the ancient history of
several eastern countries alluslon is
made in unmistakable terms to the

available capital in the land and
meagre equipment, and neces-
sity demands that they must
have some immediate income
that will be reliable throughout
the year and not jeopardized by
floods or drouth, and with one
accord they turned to the dairy
business.
There is not table in the
land, no matter how elaborate
or how humble, upon which the
products of the dairy COW do not
appear in some FORM
"On soils in the vicinity of San
Antonio we were able to secure a
yield of q tons per acre of
prickly pear. That means
roughage for one COW on one
acre of ground. Point out to me
regions in the United States
that produce roughage for one
COW on an acre, and l will show
you land worth 500 an acre"
One hundred pounds of skim
milk is worth as much as half a
buShel of Shelled corn. The
average COW will give enough
milk to make 1000 pounds of
skim milk in a year. Ten cows
will give 10000 pounds, which
would be equivalent to 200
bushels of shell corn. This
means that the skim milk from
10 cows for feeding hogs is
worth as much as eight acres of
corn"
Texas has more area suitable
for the growing of corn than any
other State in the Union; it has
more soil that will produce more
corn per acre than any other
State in the Union; yet it is a fact
that the average yield
per acre in Texas is only 22t
bushels per acre, while the aver
age yield in Iowa is nearly 40
bushels per acre. There is
much less production and cor
respondingly greater demand
for corn in this State than in
Iowa. The average price per
bushel of corn on the farms in
Texas is 80 cents, while in Iowa
it is 80 cents"
There are men in Navarro
county who have sold thousand
bushels of corn, and the ears
were only seven inches long. If
they had properly selected their
seed corn they could have added
one-fourth to the length of those
ears without any more cultiva-
ton, without any more expense,
and made one fourth more corn.
We have to look after these
things

Farmers Congress. 1t contains
the proceedings of the congress
and of the Nut Growers, Nurs-
erymen, Horticulturalists, Bee
Keepers, Dairymen, Swine
Breeders and Corn Growers. A
copy may be obtained free by
writing a card to the Commits
sioner of Agriculture, Austin,
Texas.
The following are few ex-
tracts from the papers read be-
fore the Farmers Congress or
the Sections:
THE laborers, the toilers, the
producers of food and clothing
for the human race have until
recent years been able to supply
no more than the bare necesSi-
ties of life for themselves and a
few luxuries for their overlords.
Human inventions in the form of
machinery, driven by steam,
water power, gas, wind and
electricity have wonderfully in
creased the output, the capacity,
the producing power of the
skilled farmer, mechanic, ma
chinist and manufacturer. The
machine user is ten times as pro-
ductive as his rude ancestor.
Machinery is not labor saving
factor, but it is a means for in
creasing production"
While we have many inn
proved methods for doing the
work of the farm, yet there is a
vast field for improving that
which is grown on the farm
Every farm is factory. 1t
produces the raw materials of
commerce. It's prosperity must
depend upon the markets for its
its products. If the markets are
good and accessible, then indi-
vidual effort may count for some
thing. If there are no good
markets, or if the markets are
not cheaply accessible, then eff
fort is handicapped and success
is impracticable. Markets are
absolutely necessary"
The old method of two max
ing a trade, one the buyer and
the other the seller, no longer OBJ
tains. The buyers are combined.
Before the contest can be equal
there must be a strong combi
nation of sellers. Each bale of
cotton today is priced and bought
by an aggregation of the best
business brain on two CONT
nents, backed by unlimited
money. Each bale should be
sold at the discretion of all the
brain and capital of the South.
Unless the seller is backed by
the same intelligence and capital
in possession of the buyers, the
transaction will be unequal in

If capital and the shrewdness
employed in its use have an adj
vantage over poverty before our
courts, the highest and wisest
tribunals known to our govern
ment in the dispensation of JUS
tice, how much greater will be
the inequality in the free-for-al
fight and scramble for business
supremacy"

many of US are today betraying

we shall leave to our children not

In September of the year
1900 when the tidal wave swept
over Galveston the whole world
was struck with awe; the loss of
life and destruction of property
was so appalling. Not many
years later San Francisco, the
pride of our western coast, was
visited by an earthquake. Every
man woman and child through
out this broad land of ours was
again cast into gloom and sor-
row. In each instance did the
American people rise to meet
the situation and contribute both
their sympathy and their sub
stance. Aud yet, today | stand
before you and tell YOU that each
year sees more destruction of
property, God given property,
though the waste of our forests
in East Texas alone than result
ed from either of these great
catastropes. Who then is to pay
the penalty? Shall it be our
children children? In any
event it will be our own flesh and
blood and again will the Scrip
lures be fulfilled in that our sins
will be visited upon our children,
ever unto the fourth generation. "
