Dividing Texas.

1t is said there is some agita
ton of the division of Texas into
two states. But why stop al
that: Texas has the right tC
carve herself into five states OF
the Union, and if she shall ever
avail herself Of the privilege we
may be sure it will be five and
not two. There was time when
it was seriously contemplated
the making of five states of
| Texas and doubtless it would
have been cOnSummated if it had
not been expected that Cuba
would be seized and made into
two or three slave states. We
can readily imagine that the Os-
tend manifesto preserved the
geographical limits and political
monism of Texas.
But since the slavery question
was appealed from the lcgiSla-
ton of congress to the arbitra-
ton of the sword, there has been
little talk of dividing Texas.
There was no easier way to
throw one of Sam Houston vet
Grams into a rage than to sug-
geSt it,
Texas expects to be the En-
pirc state of the Union in popu-
Iation as she is in area, and that

century attains the age the con,
StitutiOn prcScribcS as render,
ing him eligible to the presi-
dency. Texas is now the first
cotton state. She is the first in
rice,in cattle, in sheep, in wool.
Not great way in the future
she will be first in corn, in
wheat, in oats and in hay. Her
pasture already exceeds that of
any other two states. Galveston
exports more than any other
/ port, save New York alone, and
+ if the roScate promises of the
/ Panama canal are redeemed in
the sequel, more than one Texas
seaport will number 100000
inhabitants before this century
is half done with this union.
There are all sorts of soil and
all sorts of climate known to the
temperate zone in Texas. Waco

Experiment Stations.

Whatever difference of opinion
there may be as to how the leg
stature may best advance the
material interests Of the state
by Legislation, with practical
unanimity the people are expect
ing some constructive action
along these lines by the Thirty
first Legislature, which convenes
tomorrow. Without attempting
to designate just what position
1t occupies in the scale of rela-
tive Importance, the Record does
not hesitate to say that liberal
appropriations should be made
Tor solving the agricultural prob
lens peculiar to Texas, which
means liberal support of the az
ricultural department, the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College
and the eXtention of the expert,
ment station and demonstration
farm work. The agricultural de.
partment has been in operation
as a separate department of the
state government for only about
two years, but in that time has
demonstrated its usefulness and
the work already done warrants
liberal treatment by the legisla-
ture. The Agricultural and Me
chanicaI College is doing a splen
did work for the state. and the
attendance is growing more rap
idly than room can be found for
students. The experiment sta
tons have solved many agricul-
tural problems, but many more
yet remain to be solved. The
rice farms of South and South
east Texas are not producing as
bountifully as they did few
years ago, due supposedly to the
teaching of soil fertility by eX-
ceSslvc flooding. The state should
have an experiment station in
this section where rice growing
specialists can study this and
other kindred problems and find
a way to maintain the fertility of
the soil and increase the yield.
The great black land section
of the state has agricultural
problems peculiar to this region
and should have an experiment
station to aid the farmers in
solving them. The vast western
region just now coming under
the dominion of the pillow needs
aid of the state in determining
what crops will grow in this sec
ton and what cultural methods
are best, and should have at
least one experiment station.

MASSACHUSETTS AND
 CIGARETTES.

It Is surprise to many good people in Massachusetts to learn that the state makes such a showing in the statistics of the internal revenue com missioner regarding the production of pounds per 1000. The little smokes turned out in this state during the last year numbered 47,39S,650. which is a number exceeded by the production of only New York, Virginia, Louisiana, California and Pennsylvania, in order, among the states of the union. There will be noted that of the total of 92,- 943.S92 gallons of spirits rectified in the United States during the year, ac- cording to the internal revenue tabula- tions, 5,033,746 gallons were rectified In the old Bay state, but the figures about the production of cigarettes are certain to run spirit statistics a close race as cause of comment.

CHANGING THE CIVILIANS
 UNIFORM.

Those of the sterner sex who take thought for the morrow what they shall wear and how they will look in the latest masculine modes will learn with something of shock that the old fashioned dress suit is doomed The new cut has the appearance of d boys Eton jacket, with skirt" which is the technical term for the swallow tails.
 Comparing the old with the new styles yesterday, when making pre- liminary visit to the Tailor and Cut ter annual exhibition. which opens today. a Daily Graphic representative discovered that the strap" was absent in the up-to- date garment. So don't be strap-hanger. sartorially speak ing. or you are liable to be taken for a waiter. By their straps" will they in future be known. Victims of mis- taken identity have coerced the cutter into the new design.
 But the tailor has not confined his shipping to the "strap"-the broad band on the front of the jacket-he has altered the lapels. so that instead of being scanned on. as of old. to the body of the coat, they are part and parcel of the piece. Frankly, the new order of things is an improvement on the old.-London Newspaper.

ODD FARMING IN EGYPT.
The Native Flow Is Still a Smoothed.
 Off Tree Fork.

Speaking of farming methods ir Egypt. Horace F. Coler of Chicago. H. who has made tour of the world in the interests of American farming i'm plements, and who is at the Raleigh said:
 "One of the curious sights in the Egyptian harvest season is a modern threshing machine noisily working in a field adjoining that in which na- tive thresher is treading out the grain The brown-skinned tiller of the soil, clad in his flowing robes of white or the favored dull blue and yellow com bination, sitting on the high seat of the crude thresher, which is dragged over the field by a yoke of patient camels. or perhaps camel and a don key. or a couple of buffalo cows. Nap- pears to the stranger who sees this for the first time like the principal actor in . scene worked out by an ingenious mind for stage effect.
 The native blow in Egypt is simply the forked portion of a tree. or two pieces joined together and smoothed off a primitive contrivance, which may still be seen in use by Cuban farmers. The thresher is a slege-like affair, fitted with round crushers of wood or iron, and weighted down from the top. The grain is crushed into the ground, and when gathered up is mixed with Jumps of mud. but it is said that never a kernel of it is lost or wasted.
 American farming machinery may be found in the remotest parts of the world and where least expected in what manner it got there could not ascertain. The natives could not en- tighten me. But I am sure there is a big market for American farm imple- ments and machinery in all parts of the world. And this field naturally opens other fields Washington Herald

ITALIAN SALT MONOPOLY.
Production Owned and Controlled by
 the Government.

The salt industry of Italy is entire ly in the hands of the government, 1t being a monopoly utilized as a means of taxation for raising revenue The importation or production of salt by private individuals is prohibited, and it is sold to the public only in special shops. where postage stamps and to- bacco are offered for sale. All the salt produced in Italy comes from sea wa ter. evaporated at the works on the islands of Sardinia and Sicily, and at NOlterra, in the province of Pisa.
 The government both imports and exports salt. The imports and exports of salt in 1907 and 1908 were as fol- lows: Imports. 51.604 and 2,610 tons, respectively; exports, s9.191 and S5.4s9 tons respectively. Salt was exported to the United States to the amount of 15.590 tons in 1907 and 1871 in 1908. Manufacturers seeking a market in Italy for salt should address the mini tero delle finanze at Rome.

INDIANS NOT DYING OUT.
Supposed to Be 3o0,ooo of Them in the
 United States.

The increase of some 10000 in the Indian population of the United States during the last twenty years jangles inharmoniously> with the poetic senti- ment which has bewailed his approach ing disappearance from the face of the earth, says the St Louis Republic The Indians are not disappearing. There is good reason for the belief that the 3O0,- 900 of them now in the United States are as many as were here when John Smith landed at Jamestown.
 Before the white man came the In- dians subsisted wholly by the chase, supplemented by little rude agricul- ture. They needed vast areas to roam over in quest of game. Constant wars among the different tribes kept down the population. The notion that the abOringines were numerous grew out of the fact that they so greatly out numbered the early settlers.
 The pioneers who followed Daniel Boone across the Allegheny mountains found the region out of which the state of Kentucky and that of Tennessee have been formed absolutely uninhab- ited by Indians. IL was simply a great hunting preserve. The hunting there was so good that no tribe of Indians would let an- other Indians remain there permanently.
 With such areas as this left unten- anted the original Indian population could never have been large Sur rounded by the civilization of the white man and supplied by a liberal government with the necessities of life, there is now a better chance for the Indian to increase than there was while he led a life of savagery.
 The Five Civilized Tribes of the old Indian Territory did not take up the ways of civilization until they were comfortably settled in which is one of the garden spots of America. Inter- marriage of many of them with whites has gone far to familiarize all of them with the white mans ways, which a number of them have unreservedly adopted. In the eastern part of Okla home Indians of the mixed blood are familiar figures in business and in dustry. One of the United States sena- tors from oklahoma and one from Kansas are of Indian blood, though much diluted.
 The process of bringing the reserva- ton Indians within the pale of civili- Zation may be slow, but it is progress ing. The probabilities are that instead of dying out the Indians will eventual ly be absorbed by the white popula-
