THURSDAY, JAN. 10, 1908
THE JUBILEE Is on

For starter the gatherings today
will pass. But the attendance should
have been larger on the part OF ANA
rlllo people
The significance OF the Farmers
congress and Palo Duro Park Con-
yentlon may not be fully understood,
nor their Importance fully grasped
by our people.
For the benefit OF those who may
thus have failed TO fully enter into
the spirit and enthusiasm OF the day,
We will endeayor to set forth few
OF the reasons why all should be In
terested and attend the sessions Of
the congress.
The gathering in the first place
marks a new era In Panhandle ag-
riculture. II is the first concen-
frated effort made IN this section to
awaken Interest In farming in the
Panhandle. Some men are hero, ana
moro win be here, who are nutho-
rifles upon the subjects assigned 10
them, and thus the opportunities to
learn are open TO all.
The varied productlveness OF Pan
handle soil Is but beginning TO be
learned. At this congress- the men
who have made the practical tests
and experiments will give you the
benefit OF their studies and labors
OF years FREQ Of charge, They should
at least be encouraged by large at
tendance
We recognize the fact, all OF us,
that the day has arrived when we
must induce men TO settle and cul-
tyate our vast prairles, Il Is abso-
lutely necessary Tor the advance
ment and progress OF our city that
the country be developed j, IL alb
somtely necessary for the welfare
OF the entire Panhandle that agricul-
ture commence in earnest and that
all fnen help in arousing the interest
which will result in general move
ment toward wider aud more diver
slfIed agriculture
The congress was called and ar.
ranged for this purpose, and our
people should at least show sufficient
interest therein to attend In large
numbers.
Speculation In lands, purely and
simply never developed country
The speculation period is generally
natural and necessary. But we have
now passed beyond the speculative
stage, and arrived At the point whore
we must 80 to work.
We have with us many visitors
from all parts OF the Panhandle
These men BY their attendance at the
congress show that they are inter-
ested, that they are Of the progress
slye order and willing to lend their
assistance in any movement that
goes toward Panhandle development
In justice to these visitors. who have
come from far and near, Amarillo
people should at least show the reg
ulation difference OF civilization by.
attending the meetings.
The congress means more than
any Of US even begin to see now.
But ~hat we do see y sufficient to
make Il gathering which all should
attend and all should encourage.
