PANHANDLE CROPS AS HOG PRODUCERS
Careful Experiments Prove that Milo Maize
And kaffir Corn can Make better
Feed Than Indian Corn.

| NAWy ~ Soi vi llOSS
belonging to Warren A. Black
burn of Amarillo brought the
highest price ever paid for Tex
as hogs. The comment it crea.
ted now naturally reverts back
to the much discussed subject,
Are Panhandle Crops as good
Hog Producers as Indian Corn?"
The fact that one car of hogs
raised on Panhandle crops
topped the market may not be
satisfying proof to many, so a
reference to the experiments
along this line that have been
made from time to time by
Swift & Co., at Ft. Worth may
be cited as further argument in
favor of milo maize and kaffir
corn, which number among the
certain crops of the Panhandle
country.
This company took two lots of
hogs, consisting of cross breeds
of Berkshire and Poland China,
ten in one group and thirteen in
the other, and gave the question
thorough trial in the expert
ment. The former lot was fed
on equal quantities of ground
katfir corn and milo maize and
the latter bunch on crushed In
dian corn. All feed was care
fully weighed and soaked twelve
hours before feeding. These
hogs were not sold on the mar
ket, but the day that they were
weighed it was clearly evident to
all hog judges present that the
Kaffir and milo maize fed hogs
would bring at least three cents
more per hundred than the price
paid for the market tops. 1t
took, in this instance, to produce
100 pounds of pork, 800 pounds
of Kaffir corn and milo maize.
After the hogs were killed,
hung up and thoroughly cooled.
they were carefully inspected,
and opinion given as to the quail
ity of the meat, comparing Kaf-
fir corn fed with Indian corn
fed hogs. 1t was the consensus
of opinion of those who judged
these hogs, who are as we'll
versed on this subject as any in
the United States, that there is
no perceptible difference in the
kaffir corn and the Indian corn
hogs.
These two experiments are
probably the most complete that
have ever been made. The feed
ing of both lots of hogs com
menced practically at the same
time, there being but one DAYS
difference in the length of time
the hogs were fed. The hogs
were killed and a test made
showing the Kafir corn hogs to
be practically equal to those fed
on Indian corn. The yield on
both was extremely good, in fact
we get but few hogs that will
yield as well as these.
1t is especially gratifying to
all who are interested in the de
velopment of the hog industry
in Texas to note the very salts
factory results in using Kaffir
corn and milo maize, 1t is
well known fact that Katfir corn
and milo maize will grow and
make a splendid yield and re-
turn per acre in the western
portion of Texas. 1t is past the
experimental stage to the value
of this product as hog fatten-
ing feed, and the result will
probably be that West Texas
will be a great hog producing
section, where, up to a few
years back, hogs were practical
ly foreign to a great many sec
tions of this western country.
The farmer in West Texas,
where Kaffir corn and milo
maize grow to best advantage
can figure out from this test

"a quarter sectiOn-of that
Iowa land is S24, 900. For this,
the father of family of sons
can buy in several parts of Tex
as land as fertile as that which
he leaves in Iowa at $40 to $50
an acre, thus providing farms
for each of his boys out of the
proceeds of the sale of the home
place in Iowa.
Under the tremendous pres
sure of this migration the price
of arabic lands in most favored
portions of Texas has risen rap
idly and is still rising. BY
most favored portions" | mean
those portions most favored by
the promoters of the the migra-
grafton. These, as a rule, are
those portions where the pro-
moters could buy good lands at
the least price. The old sec
tions of Texas, the eastern and
central northern countries, that
have been longest under cultiva-
ton and are most populous, have
been passed over by the home
seekers.
They have located in the Pan
handle, or in north h-west Texas,
transforming cattle ranches in
to five or more acre farms and
truck patches, making the
transition at a single bound
from range farming to intensive
farming; or they have rushed
into the irrigable valleys of the
Rio Grande and Pecos River, or
into the fertile, well-watered,
sparsely inhabited countries of
the Gulf coast prairie.
WHERE TEXAS WILL RANK.
If Maine, say. or Iowa or even
Illinois, were to gain 100000
new inhabitants in single de-
cade, the fact would be really
noticeable to one who dwelt
there. Here in Texas, where
only 24,500,000 acres out of
total of 141,372,0O0 acres have
been brought within the cult
waited area including lands
used for pasture, the vast army
of newcomers scatter and is
lost to sight like water that
sinks into sand. This, perhaps,
accounts for the native Texans
reluctance to credit the start
ling estimate of gain made by
the State Department of Edu-
cation. He has seen all of the
principal cities of the state
double their size since 1900, and
he is conscious that the acreage
of farm lands under cultivation
is steadily charging, but he
does not frequently encounter
the newcomers in his accus-
toned walks and he cannot be-
lieve that they are all here. If
the States estimate for 1909 be
correct, Texas should rank
third among the states in popu-
lation in the Federal census of
1910, led only by New York and
Pennsylvania. And if the mi
grafton into Texas between 1910
and 1920 continues in anything
like its present volume, the
largest of the states should be
also the most populouS ten years
hence.
Nine hundred miles from
north to south, eleven hundred
miles from east to west, with
elevations ranging from sea lev
ell too over eight thousand feet,
Texas, as she ought within so
great an area, offers the home
seeker all conceivable varieties
of climate and soil products.
The virgin soil, with its promise
of exemption from the need to
use fertilizers for two or three
generations, appeals powerfully
to the old farmers of the Middle

1t is practically California reduced

tural and economic possibilities.
Like California. Palestine is longest
from north to south. Like California,
too. it has both very high mountains,
having an elevation Of 1900 to 10000
feet, and very deep depressions. The

Is the greatest depression known, and,

a Train That Won tho Behind Time
Record Medal.
A train Of railway system in the
southwest once arrived at its destina-
ton nearly three years late. The cir
cumstances were these;
The train left Bolivar. just across
Galveston bay from Galveston, on
Sept. s, 1900. and was caught In the
great storm that so nearly destroyed
the Texan city. Bolivar is seventy
FIVE miles from Beaumont, which was
the point OF the trains destination.
Before the train had travelled far on
its Journey it was caught In the storm,
Thirty miles OF the track were washed
away, and the train was left stranded
on q sandy waste. Many persons who
lived on Bolivar peninsula were saved
from death by taking refuge In the
train. After the storm subsidized they
walked to Bolivar with the passengers,
but the abandoned train was left on
the prairie.
The storm bankrupted the railway,
and no effort to rescue the engine and
cars was made until 1908 Had not
the road suffered so seriously in that
storm the property would have proved
OF great value few months later
when oil was struck at Beaumont. In
1908, however. the road underwent re-
pairs, when the train was drawn into
Beaumont, where it was greeted by o
cheering crowd.-New York Press.
