New Farm Products

Alfalfa was an unknown crop a few
years ago. Now it is one of the most
reliable and profitable of Texas crops.
1t has not been long since the onion
was produced only in a few short rows
for family use. Now the onion crop is
one of Texas best advertisements. The
effort to raise for the market me-
dicinal plants began with one enter
priSing citizen of GraySon County only
a few years ago. Now this line is be-
ing taken up and will be carried on for
all it is worth. The list is growing
Longer, and the prices of cotton and
other farm products are better than
they used to be, and the man with the
hoe is growing more Independent. The
sugar beet is low being tested. Colo
RADIO holds first place in the production
of beet sugar in the United States,
with 400, 732,530 pounds of sugar from
S,3G6, 366 acres, while Michigan and
California are closely matched for sec
ond place, producing 165 100000 and
164,OO0,0O0 pounds, respectively. The
sugar beet crop in this country last
year brought $4,5OO00O.
The present year will be an impor-
tant season for experiments with the
sugar beet in Texas. Let the tests be
made under as good conditions as pos
sible. There is really no doubt as to
the results in localities where the soil
is Of the right density and quality.
Lands that produce fine crops of beets
of the ordinary variety or the biggest
turnips in the world are quite sure to
break 4 few records in sugar beets if
given a fair test.-Galveston News.

A DisappOinting Success.

He longed to be a Millionaire,
And have a private car;
To dine with choicest bills of fare,
And smoke a big cigar
To hear the people gayly shout,
With smiles SO free and fair:
Just clear the route and all turn out;
Here comes the billionaire!'
He gained the wealth But men, alas!
Ne'er followed out his plan;
They whispered predatory Glass;
Or, "swollen fortune clan
The only time they ceased to frown,
And spoke of him as great"
Was when he took his check book down
And offered to donate!
