saw field after field of wheat that
looked good and much of it was
heading out nicely, but it was es-
timated by old residents that the
yield would be short. 1t was es-
timated that one field which we
saw near Hereford would yield
between 20 and % bushels per
acre. We understand that as
high as 10 bushels have been
raised.
Oats do well, producing from
30 to 10 bushels per acre. The
oats we saw in May were appa-
rently doing well and a fair yield
was looked for. The Panhandle
is not an Indian corn country
because the cold nights are un-
favorable to its growth, although
we talked with farmers who had
raised 10 bushels per acre. Milo
maize and katfir corn are sure
crops. Even though a spring
should be unusually dry and the
wheat and oat crops should be
failure, milo maize and kaffir
corn can still be planted and a
fair yield is almost a certainty.
We learned from farmers that
apples, peaches, prunes, pears
and cherries yield good crops.
We saw trees loaded with cher
ries that were larger than peas,
and we saw peaches that were
almost as large as robins eggs
the middle of May. The posi-
bilities of the country so far as
fruits are concerned are not fully
known because people have not
yet had an opportunity to see
just what can be done along that
line.
In the South Plains country
cotton is raised very successful
ly. All vegetables common to
such a climate give big yields. !

of Hereford raised a patch Of ten

STORY TOLD BY AN IOWA MAN
Character OF Soil. Water, Rain Fall.
Field Crops. Vegetables and Pos
sibiIities in General.

Ed f. Corbin, connected with
the Farmers Tribune, Sioux
City, Iowa, who was here about
the first of this month with his
wife on a trip to see and get data
concerning the Panhandle coun-
try writes his paper as follows:
We have frequently heard it
said that the young man of today
does not have the opportunities
for money making that were en-
joyed by our fathers and grand
fathers. We have just returned
from an extensive trip through
the Panhandle and South Plains
country of Texas. We went there
for the purpose of ascertaining
the desirability of farmers buy
ing homes in that section. While
in that magnificent country it oc
Cured to us that, were it posi-
bic for those who are pessimiStic
with reference to present oppOr-
tunities, to see the Panhandle
country and learn of the oppOr-
tunities it offers they would
change their minds. While we
were on our way to the South
west we were wont to compare
the ease with which homeseekers
can now make a trip to the Pan
handle and inspect the land, with
the difficulties that were expert
enced by the pioneers who came
to Iowa and surrounding states
in the early days. If you make
a trip to the Southwest now you
may, if you wish, be carried to
and from your destination in ele-
CANT railroad coaches; you may
take excellent meals on the diner
and sleep in a comfortable berth.
One can make the round trip to
the Panhandle and spend several
days there for an outlay of less
than $50. Compare this to the
overland journey in a prairie
schooner that the pioneers to the
western states made half a cent
ury or so ago and think of the
privations and dangers they
faced. These people located on
land that required a half century
or more to become worth from
$50 to $50 per acre, but we are
firmly of the opinion that the
land which can now be bought in
the Texas Panhandle at $3.50 to
S25 per acre will be worth what
Iowa and Illinois land is now
worth in less than fifteen years.
Roughly speaking, the Panhan-
die is that portion of Texas lying
north of the 34th parallel of lati-
tude, it being bounded on the
west by New Mexico and on the
north and east by Oklahoma.
South of the Panhandle proper
are the South Plains which are
similar in every way to the Pan
handle. The combined area of

the Panhandle and the South
Plains is approximately $4,000
square miles. An idea of the
area of the country can be gained
from the statement that it is lar
ger than the combined areas of
Delaware, Connecticut, Rhode
Island, Massachusetts, Vermont
and New Hampshire.
The soil is a rich chocolate col
ored loan, ranging in depth from
a few inches to three or four feet.
Below this is a subsOil of much
the same character, although it
is few shades lighter in color.
1t is very similar to the subsoil
found in "A large portion of north
western Iowa. The Subsoil va
ries in depth from a few inches
to 40 feet Beneath this subsOil
is a layer of white mineral sub
stance and rock. We travelled
several hundred miles in an auto
mobile through the territory con-
tiguous to Canyon City, Here
ford, Amarillo, Plainview, Happy
and Friona and we found no land
that was not capable of being
titled except that Immediately
adjoining the canyons and
streams, and in most cases land
could be plowed up to the very
edge of those canyons and
streams.
According to the records of the
Z. S. Weather Bureau located at
Amarillo, the average rainfall for
the past fifteen years has been
22.67 incher-w within two or three
inches of the annual rainfall of
Sioux City for the same period.
While we have no authority for
making the statement, we are of
the opinion that the rainfall in
the country south, east and west
of Amarillo is not less than at
Amarillo and probably greater.
In this connection it will be in
teresting to know that by far the
largest rainfall comes during the
growing season-April, May,
June, July, August and Septem-
berthe total average for those
months for the 15 years mention
ed above being 17.05 inches. An
abundance of pure water can be
obtained at a depth of from 30 to
POO feet. The records of the To-
cal weather station show that the
average temperature for the
three summer months is 71.9 de-
grees while the average for the
three winter months is 1914 de-
greeS.
The altitude of the country
ranges from $500 to 1000 feet.
Owing to this high altitude the
nights in summer are very cool,
the days are quite warm.
For the same reason the crops in
the Panhandle are very similar
to those of Iowa, Illinois and sur
rounding states. Alfalfa is a.
profitable crop, from three to five,
and, we were told by farmers
living there, that as high as six
cuttings have been made in one
year. The annual yield is from
three to five tons per acre. We
publish in connection with this
article an illustration of a scene
in an alfalfa field near Canyon
City This photograph was tax
en- May 18th. Alfalfa does much
better on what is called sub-irri-
gated land than it does on higher
land. BY sub-irrigated land is
meant low land or land that is
found in slight depreSsions.
Wheat is one of the staple crops
of this country. Although this

there being fourteen sounds of the
