Why Not More Hogs D.?

1t is nearly six years since the
Telegram began talking more
hogs for Texas, and during the
intervening time this paper has
seen an awakening to the posi-
bilities Of pork raising in only
one section of the State, the Pan
handle. Why have other sections
neglected their opportunity?
The year 1907 closed with only
S7,679 hogs received at Fort
Worth for the year, a decrease of
II per cent from 1906.
st. Louis got over 100000
hogs during 1907 and yet the ter
ritory contributing to St Louis
is smaller than contributing to
Fort Worth. Kansas City, Oma-
ha, St Joseph, Sioux City and
even Chicago are all fighting for
the hogs st. Louis gets. Fort
Worth does not have a single
competitor. And in spite of lack
of competition, hog prices at FIT.
Worth have remained year in and
year out higher than the prices
paid at any other market in the
United States.
The year 1907 closed with hogs
at nearly record prices. Only a
few years of the last twenty five
has the price been so high.
Should the markets of France
and Germany again be opened
to American pork, and there is
good prospect Of such being the
case, the price of hogs will ad-
vance still further. Should the
hog supply decrease in 1903 as it
did during 1907, ten cent hogs
would not be an improba bility.
There is money in hogs in Tex
as because no other kind of flesh
can be produced so cheaply. Top
figures at the Fort Worth mar
ket for Panhandle hogs raised on
alfalfa and fattened on Kaffir
corn and milo maize show that
the old belief that 1T takes Indi-
an corn to fatten hogs is a myth.
In both theory and practice Kaf-
fir corn and milo maize are as
good hog-fatteners as any other
feed ever discovered.

For District Attorney.

The News is authorized to an
nounce A. A. Lumpkin Of the
Amarillo law firm of Wallace q
Lumpkin, as a candidate for dis
trict attorney Of this judicial dis
trict.
Mr.. Lumpkin is home made all
thru being born at Meridian,
BOsque county, graduate Of the
Southwestern University at
Georgetown and later on of the
law department of the State Uni
versity at Austin. He has prac-
ticed his profession some eight
years the latter five of which have
been in this district. His moral
character is vOuched for all along
the line and as a lawyer Mr..
LumpIin ranks with the best in
the Panhandle. From all ac-
counts he would make us a good
district attorney.

Some Back Talk.

The report from twenty of the
Panhandle counties shows that
there are over 100000 hogs in
the counties reporting. This
only proves the often times re-
peated statement that the Pan
handle is a hog country. With Il
sparSely settled country and so
few farmers, report like this
must make a MiSSOurian think
some. 1t would be safe to say
that every farmer who raised
hogs in 1907 made good money.
Hereford Brand.
Every observing man who has
thought much about Panhandle
possibilities have come to the
conclusion that hogs thrive better
there than in any other part Of
Texas. One proof of this, aside
from the figures of the Brand, is
the constantly growing receipts
of hogs over the Fort Worth d
Denver road to the local packing
houses. While other roads have
shown a large leSSening of hog
tonnage for the year 1907, the
/ Denver exhibits a substantial
gain. Receipts of marketable
hogs do not double up from a
country where conditions are un-
favorable for their production.
! The Panhandle has all the basic
/ elements for the production of
hogs in unlimited quantities.

Fort Worth Record.
The Record has at last learned
that the Panhandle is part of
Texas and that her resources are
not limited to one or two counts.
As to the hog business, it might
be mentioned that the Denver
does not haul all the hogs; other
lines of the Panhandle also have
a large swine tonnage. This sec
tion may not be flowing in milk

Plains Farm Experience.

way of producing crops is the
very best guide aS to what may
be expected of it. The Plains
country has an enviable record
in this respect. We who have re-
sided here for years know this
and are satisfied, but what we
want to do now in order to bring
about speedy development of
the country is to get the facts, as
we know them, before the people
of other States who can be in
induced thereby to come and set
tie on our idle lands.
To accomplish this object, the
bringing in of settlers, our land
men, owners as well as agents,
are and have been for some time
flooding the Middle States with
descriptive literature. This has
had its weight, of course, it has
brought about many sales, but
the man the country really needs
the home builder-so far has
cut small figure in these trans
fers. How best to reach him is
the question. Answering this
The News is of the opinion that
the real homeseeker, the man
who must make living by his
own manual labor upon the land
bought, can best be reached and
convinced thru the unbiased, dis
interested testimony of those of
his own calling-farmers. SO,
with this object in view, The
News desires to publish the crop
experiences of Randall county
people.
Write the News letter such
as the following, which is taken
from the Hereford Brand of last
week:
