SANTA fE sPaMs CROP REPORT.


Hard on the heels of general
feeling of bouyency concerning
the prospects of banner crop
pear in the Panhandle country,
comes the annual spring crop
reports of the cultivation along
their lines in this section of the
State of Texas, issued by the
Santa F'e Railway. 1t indicates
a larger area under cultivation
than during any preceding year
and justities the broad smile of
contentment worn by the tiller
of the soil.
Report confirms the belief
that no portion of the Panhandle
country has been sighted by the
rains and sun this year. 1t also
corroberates similar reports al
readyissu by competing roads.
1t gives color to the picture of
prosperity painted large upon
the common mind of this coun-
try. 1t insures that the slight
period of industrial dulness
| which has been projected into
Panhandle Country Commerce
is about to be totally swept aside.
Trusting in the unfailing average
of precipitation recorded in the
government weather bureau
which, despite occasional dry
spells, shows this country and
territory has more than enough
rain annually, on the average, to
enable it to vie with older, more
intensely farmed agricultural
commEgaHliittii!es.

Wheat is the largest, single,
distinct crop planted, totalling
349, 300 acres; oats, $4,000 acres;
Indian corn, 84,750 acres; kaffir
corn, 202, 1894 acres; broom corn,
48,51S acres; maize, l22, 800 and
other crops such as speltz, sor-
ghum, millet, alfalfa, bar ley and
many acres in smaller grain and
hay crops.
Canyon City, as reported by
the Santa F'e Railway, has in
wheat, $4,000 acres; kaffir corn
and milo maize, $4,000 acres;
sorghum and millett, $4,000;
total of these, 1890 acres for
this locality. This does not in
clude the acreage that is in cul-
tiyation in other loc alities in
Randall County.
1t seems that the Santa Fee
Railway did not inquire as to
other crops raised in this local
ity such as oats, alfalfa. Indian
corn, sPeltz, rye, barley, flax
and broom corn and numerous
other crops.
| Canyon City occupies a unique
position. 1t is located between
the two streams, the Palo Duro
on the north and east, the Werra
Blanco on the south and east.
The city is on an eminence be
tween, therefore assuring at all
times a good drain age. These
streams on either side are GOV
cred with large acreage of al
falfa and some five crops are
harvested annually and is one
of the best crops grown.
1t is the great staple crop
for stock fattening pur-
poses. These facts were over
looked by the Santa Fee Rail
way Company when their crop
reporter made his tour of inspec-
ton in this locality.

The special train from Lub-
book pulled into the yards here
Tuesday morning at It's with J..
ID. Butler at the throttle. On
the front of the engine was a
compass and a square designed
especially by J.. e. Rose and in
dicating that the engine was
pulling a train of Masons and
friends. The coaches were de-
corated with streamers gotten up
by masonic lodges along the
line.
At the station here 90 happy
excursionists with tickets to
Canyon City boarded the train
for a days outing in Randall
County's county seat. 1t was on
that day and on that occasion that
the cornerstone of the West
Texas State Normal was laid.
That was a great day for Canyon
and the Plains country. 1t no
doubt marked the beginning of
better days for this section of
Weat Texas. This is the first
undertaking of consequence by
the State on the Plains. Since it
is of educational nature let us
hope Texas will project other
propositions.

THE GREAT DANGER.


The great danger that threatens this
republic, we are an agreed. comes
RON the concentration OF interest upon
the accumulation Of wealth, from the
love Of luxury, ostentation. and pluto
cratic power That has been the pro-
hhc source Of corruption in politics
and business, that has been the prolific
breeder Of discomfort. Of class antago-
nism, Of socialstic. and anarchistic agi-
tation. The dangers thus arising must
be fought by a sturdy citizenship ar
rayed against II under the inspiration
OF strong and aggressive leaders.
