would encourage the people OF the
Amarillo country in rougMng and
full feeding cattle, The fact that all
OF these feed stuffs can be success
fully grown in greater quantities per
acre In this section OF the country
on cheap lands, and the further fact
that these various feed stuifs so to-
gether so we'll, make II certainty
that by proper care and attention this
would be the most successful and
profitable stock farming country In
the United States,
There Is no doubt that by proper
care people could get, perhaps a
higher per cent OF calves than else
where in the United States. and by
taking the proper care OF them, they
could develop a more desirable and
higher class steer at two years old,
that would be worth a great deal
more money at two years old than
the four year old grown on the open
ranch is today
II the people in Europe, by rails
ing turnlps and beets can afford to
buy from us our cotton seed meal
and cake, and pay the freight on it,
and afford to feed cattle on the pro-
duets from high priced lands under
unfayorable climatic conditions, II is
certain that we can more profitably
do so where We can raise all OF these
feeds so oheaply on cheap lands, and
where we have so favorable climatic
conditions as here, because OF tho
reasons aforesaid and the fact that
We have learned that these various
kinds OF feed can be successfully
grown here, and by reason OF the
development that has taken place
and the railroad facilities that we
have now. and because we know that
we can raise wheat and oats, Indian
corn and broom corn fairly success
full one year with another,
This land today Is cheaper at from
$40 to $40 an acre for the purpose
that we know 1t can be used for sue
cessfully now than 1t was at So an
acre before the country was devel-
oped, and the manner in which 1t
was used TO raise cattle on the same,
in this country In a rawhide way
For in those days people we're I'M
protected in case they became over
stocked or the grass was burned Off
and could not protect themselves
against loss, which risk is a thing of
the past, because We can and do
raise plenty of feed of various kinds
successfully here now, and because
We get better results now than we
did as herein stated, and can still
attain higher results by closer atten-
ton all Of which gives man Of abil-
ity the power to pay better inter-
est on this land at $40 an acre than
he could have done at 81 an acre In
the past. This country can be de-
veloped into one OF the greatest and
most profitable dairying countries in
the United States:
(D Because of the various kinds
OF feed stuff that can be raised in
greater tonnage per acre than any
where in the United states.
(2) Because 1t has semi-trop-
ical climate with a reasonably high
altitude.
CD Because II Is north OF the
quarantine line, free from the ticks,
which enables people to bring in
and take out dairy COWS or any other
kind of cattle from any part OF the
United States at their will with
safety.
ca Because there is plenty OF
good water anywhere in this coun-
try.
60 Because the markets OF the
world are reasonably near.
CO. Because this is heathful
country for man and beast, and a
delightful climate to live in, both
winter and summer.
CD Because the class OF people
looming to this country is high class
OF citizens. energetic, ambitious, ed
ucated and with both money and
credit.
(S) Because this class of citi-
zenshlp and this climate with the
combination OF things that 1t Is
adapted to, as aforesaid, are attrac-
tive to the class of people and in
dustries, which have made the CEN
trail states Of the United States great
and their lands very high in value.
Dairying as It is we'll known is the
most profitable industry in the Unit
ed states, and it's income in the year
1907 was over SS,OOO,OOO; second to
