less man of the future will be
the homeless man of the future.
The citizen of the days to come
who does not own land is at a
great disadvantage in the battle
of life. He will be the victim
who will suffer from every squat
that strikes. The Panhandle
citizen who owns from so to 100
acres Of land can snap his fingers
at the upheavals of Wall street
and country wide rumblings.
Land is the basis of wealth, an
elementary truth known to all
men; but there are some who do
not take advantage of their own
knowledge.
a land investment in the great
Panhandle of Texas means
wealth and contentment for the
citizen of the future and for his
posterity.
Lands will never be cheaper,
but will continue to that point
where, as Mr. Hill says, they
will command almost any price
their owners may ask for them. -
If you do not own a block of
Panhandle land you are sleeping
on your rights.
Here is a prosperity item of
much interest, and carries out
the truth of the foregoing state
ments regarding the Panhandle.
The Kansas City Daily Drovers
Telegram says;
Shipping hogs over 600 niles
from a point in Texas to these
yards speaks well for the Kansas
City market. Yesterday G. W.
Hays of Hereford, Texas, was on
the market with a carload of
hogs. From all points of the
Panhandle country hogs arenow
being shipped to this market.
Hays is an Iowan. He went to
Texas from a point near Grin
nell, Iowa, about two years ago.
He is farming 500 acres, raising

the remainder of the United
States and foreign peoples. The
recent wheat furry, while work
ing somewhat of a hardship,
temporarily, on Panhandle con
sumers, demonstrates that
wheat is no longer to be a cheap
commodity and alsodemonstrates
that the Panhandle is to reap
rich wealth from this date.
James J. Hill, who is ever
sound in his prognostications.
SAID, as far back as 1901, that
high prices for wheat will con
tinue. No man is better equip
ped than Mr.. Hill to look over
the country and see conditions
in their true light, as they exist.
Mr.. Hill in his prophecy of 1901,
said:
Il call attention to the fact,
that while the population of the
United States had increased IS
per cent, productions of food
stuffs had increased only - per
cent.
We are now buying barley
from Argentine. The time is
not far distant when we will be
importing wheat. High prices
for wheat will continue. The
price of that commodity will
never go to the low figures that
obtained in former years in this
country.
within thirty years the
growth of the population will be
such, that all the land then in
cultivation. and all the lands to
be brought under cultivation,
by all known processes, would
not grow enough to supply the
wants of our own people, and

yesterday were fattened on Il
ration OF kaffir corn, maize and
tankage, a mixture which Hays
thinks is very hard to beat.
IF farmed right" said Hays,
Texas is capable of producing
as regular crops, and as great a
variety of products, as any state
in the Union. | think a good
deal of farming done there has
been of a poor kind, which in
many instances was responsible
for failures. Whenever we do
the work right we will get good
results. This year l have over
800 acres of kaffir corn. That
is the great crop of the country.
1t never fails. kaffir corn was
intended for dry climate.
And when ground and fed to
stock, there is little difference
between kaf1ir corn and Indian
corn. Then have about 800
acres in wheat and about 100
acres in oats. The wheat looks
well, and the other crops look
