Mr.. Hodgskins was highly indignant last

out makir z public his reply. He said the
rep1v was in Mr.. Watson's hands before
closing time last night. and that it should
have been turned over to the press as a
matter Of fairness to him. He designated
the whole procedure as very unusual and
as a cheap attempt on the part Of the Cor

A considerable stretch of this valley and

Acre Yields Compared.

There has been compilation Of tables
by the State Board of Agriculture to show
the comparative value Of the yield an acre
for the general crops down here for which
Northern and Western states are noted
The following will show the result:
Corn-Te1as. IS q; Iowa, IS OF; North Da-
kota 81 90; Kansas. s. 40

Sugar cane-Texas. SO; Louisiana. the
largest sugar producing state in the Union,
$50: Florida. So: Alabama. s5.
The table includes other produce, but the
foregoing are looked upon the best for
compa rative purposes. If onions had been
included the difference in favor of Texas
would have peen too great for correct tudg-
ment, as this state has the practical mo-
nopoly of the advantages. The Bermuda
onion has been introduced, with the result
of improving the parent stock. and there
have been returns of 800 acre net in the
southern colonies.
It Is not generally known that one or the
greatest honey markets in the world Is
south of here. at Uvalde. The valleys of
the rivers in the old arid belt are verltsb'e
natural flower gardens. and bee keepers
have established hourishins apiaries. whose
yield successfully never fails The uni

the right conditions for bee culture The
valley that is most noted for its flowers Is
that of the Nueces. with the country lying
contiguous to two large lakes.
