FIOridan Praises Citrus Belt
NOW DeDeLODing Near COfrILQ

+ leve that the orange industry can be
carried on cheaper here and with equal
If not better success than in the proven
orange territory of Florida"
George Tabor, recognized In Florida
and California as successful grower
and expert, says Texas has the bright
est futuredn citrus fruit and that other
oranges than the Satsuma can be
grown without fear of freezing, provid-
ed all are budded or grated on trifoli-
alta root.
Before the citrus growers convention
of February last P. l. Gill, one of the
largest orange growers of Texas, said
he had one acre of 8-year-old trees
that produced $500 worth Of fruit In
1906, $500 In 1907 and $1,000 worth in
1908. From his 3-year-old trees, eight
acres, he had taken off more than $500
an acre.
With all their wisdom displayed in
other affairs, Texans have all this time
been figuring their citrus belt to be
limited to a few miles of the coast belt,
until some enterprising person hap
pened to be drilling for oil out in La
Sale county near Cotulla and discov-
cred that wonderful artesian wells can
be had at surprisingly shallow depths.
This at once started the development
that is changing the great COW country
to a veritable paradise of comfortable
homes and productive farms.
So great is the interest now manifest
in the Cotulla irrigable belt that the
Truck Growers colony office at BAL
South Hill street is constantly giving
information regarding that section and
arranging trips for those who have
determined to cast their lots in the
Lone Star state.

GOVERNMENT EXPERTS THIN

Barley Poisoned with StrychnIne Is
Found Most Effective and Least
Harmful to Birds and
Domestic Animals

Some interesting results have just
been announced by the forest service as
a result of the campaign conducted in
Southern California by Stanley e.
Piper, eXperC of tine biological survey,
to exterminate ground squirrels and
gohpers. Extensive experiments were
tried to determine the best means of
killing off these destructive little ami
mails, and it was found that most ef-
fective results were obtained by using
poisoned food placed along their run
ways.
Tests were also made with oats,
wheat, barley, raisins, prunes, dried
apples and cracked cvrn, but these did
not prove so successful. While green
barley proved most successful for
poisoning ground squirrels, yet the diff
ficulty of procuring a sufficient supply
in all Localities led to dried barley
grain being tried.
The grain was treated with strych-
nine sulphate, saccharine and eggs, and
although this combination proved very
destructive to the squirrels it had prac-
tically no effect on doves and quail.
In fact q deliberate attempt was made
to poison these birds at their watering
places, but no bad effect resulted. The
poisoned grain was also used in fields
grazed over by sheep and produced no
ill effects whatever.
The experiments also proved that
gophers were partial to raisins and
dried apples, and these were success
fully used in the poison experiment. 1t
was found that by sprinkling the apples
or raisins with the strychnine solution
as effective results were produced rs
could be obtained by inserting the
poison into the fruit.
The experiments for determination of
squirrels also resulted in the death of
a considerable number of rabbits, and

Texas citrus possibilities as compared
to Florida are voiced in the following
expression from q Floridan:
Il believe you have a better country
and fully as good If not better and SAT-
er climate for orange growing than we
have in Florida, and have shown that
my faith is deeper than words by pur-
chasing a tract of land which [ have
put in oranges. The land here is cheap
er than in Florida with everything
considered, and it costs much less to
clear it. This land would fertilize
South Florida land, all of which must
be heavily fertilized every year-the
fertilizer eating up about half the
profits of the crop. 1 have been in the
citrus fruit nursery business In Flor
ida for twenty-seven years and am
thoroughly acquainted with every con-
dition of the sail and climate, and 1 am
convinced that this section of Texas is
far better adapted to the successful
culture of citrus fruits than our coun-
try, where 1t Is the only crop of any
consequence. Here a living can be
made farming any number of crops,
and this is another distinct advantage
this country has.
"Then, the rainfall is about the re-
quired amount for successful citrus
fruit culture, and is properly distrib-
uted, while in Florida we have excess
sive rains usually for sixty days, be-
ginning in June, and then perhaps no
more rain will fall for six months.
Sometimes great loss is sustained
through damage by the excessive rains.

Astonishing results are reported to

applied to the production of mineral
substances in the several counties.
Macadam figures just out, for 1908 Qn-

in 1906, amounting to but $S70,SS7, an
increase of $1,659,564
In 1907 the increase as compared with
1906 was SELL .415. The benefits of the
new system of collecting statistics is
found in the fact that returns for
macadam are now received from
twenty-eight counties. The returns
for 1906 included reports from but
twelve counties. In 1907 fourteen
counties reported.
Since then all conceivable sources of
information have been sought. APP
