CONTRACT is LET FOR NORMAL BUILDING
A Bid Of $4,000 Made By Stamford
Firm is Accepted by State Board.

On Februtry first a telegram
was received from President
Cousins which stated that the
contract for the building of the
Northwest Texas State Normal
was let on that date to Ben d.
Lee of Tulia." The more def
mite information is that Ben d.
Lee is a member of the Martin,
Holderness & Oats firm of STAN
ford which is now erecting a
court house at Tulia. The firm
was bonded in the sum of
S44, 800. Mr.. Cousins is ex-

Cork May be Product Of National Forests

Cork oak is to be given a
thorough trial on the National
Forests. The Bureau of Plant
Industry of the United States
Department of Agriculture has
assigned 1000 one-year seed
lings of cork oak, now at a nur-
sery at Chico, Cal, to be used
by the Forest Service for ex-
perimental planting.
Fifteen hundred of these seed
lings will be tried on the Santa
Barbara National Forest and
800 on the Monterey National
Forest in Southern California
Arrangements have already
been made with the District
Forester for carrying out the
work, and the planting will be
done as soon as possible. One
hundred seedlings will also be
sent to Prof. Gowsell of the
Forest School at Point Iona,
Cal, for experimental use by
him there.
In addition to these expert
ments in California, it is eX-
pected that 100 pounds of cork
oak acorns will be secured from
Catalonia, Spain, to be used for
experimental purposes in Dis
trict 6 next fall. Cork oaks of
considerable size have already
been raised in California, and it
seems entirely probable that
they can be planted quite exten-
sively in that State as well as to
some extent in Florida.

At the request of quite num-

from district number six.
Both these new districts will

FOR TEXAS TEACHERS
Plans For The Summer Normal At
Agricultural & Mechanical College.

Col. IL. L. Miner, president
of the A. & NJ. College says in
an address to the farmers and
teachers of Texas:
We want five hundred farm
ers to attend the summer school
at the A. e. M. College in June
and July. The information which
that many farmers would re-
ceive at this college in that short
time, coming as they would
from all sections of the state,
will be of inestimable value to
the agricultural interests of
Texas. Practical lessons by
such instructors as Welborn,
Alvord, Ness and Mcknight on
subjects which confront the
farmer each day of his life will
aid him to meet and overcome in
s few weeks what would other.
wise require lifetime of hard
experience. The instructors
will court a thorough investiga-
ton of each subject, thus invit-
ing from each student the most
searching questions. While the
best text books will be used the
course of lectures will take the
widest range and every new and
practical thought will be
brought forth and fully elabo-
Grated and applied to the every
day affairs of the farm. Those
who will want reliable informa-
ton on domestic animals, such
as cattle, horses, hogs, sheep
and goats will get it; the animals
will be brought into the lecture
room and there studied at sight.
Those who desire information
on feed will also have object les
sons on the farm. Silos and
silage are on the college prop
erty and the farmers will be
taught how to build silos and
how to put up silage. The same
practical benefits will be had as
to dairying and the creamery.
THE normal features of the
summer school will be under the
management of thoroughly
trained instructors who have
had many years experience in
all lines of academic as well as
normal work. Teachers who
desire to know the best methods
of teaching agriculture in the
public schools will have the
assistance of Prof. Welhorn, au-
thor..of the book which the law of
the state requires to be taught
in the public schools.
In short, this school offers
the widest range to all teachers
of our free schools, as it can be
said without fear of contradic,
ton that the A. G. M. College
has superior advantages along
the lines of agriculture and
other subjects that relate direct
ly to our industrial progress. "
Peyton Irving Supt. of schools
at Brennan will be conductor of
the Normal.

TEXAS IN TRANSITION.
There are Six Million People in the State Of
Texas; Less than 0ne-fifh Of
Its Area is Occupied.

yIpported a total population in
Vexas of less than $500, 900.
The school census of 1909, taken
by local communities and re-
ported to the state department
of Education as basis for the
distribution of the income of
the State public school fund,
indicated a population, mid-year
in 1909, of more than 100000.
The latter figure suggests a
growth so rapid as to be incred-
ible. A gain of more than
100000, or seventy-one per
cent, in less than a decade simp-
ly staggers the imagination of
even the most ardent booster.
Yet the state school fund for
1909 has been apportioned on
that basis, and until the Federal
census figures shall be pub
lished we shall be forced to
credit the amazing growth indi-
Gated by the figures.
The official estimate, then, is
that Texas, in nine years, has
gained more new inhabitants
than the entire population of
Maine, New Hampshire, Yer
mont and Rhode Island with
Nevada, Wyoming and Alaska
thrown in for good measure.
WHERE THE TEXANS COME FROM
Texas, unlike most other
states, does not take a state
census midway between FEEDER
al censuses. yet the estimate
based upon the annual school
census for 1909 is not unsup-
ported by isolated bits of evi,
dence tending to give it credi-
bility. For example, a great
railroad officially reported that
during the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1908 it had brought in
to Texas more than $4,000 per
manent settlers" If the other
great railroad systems of the
state had done as well, the gain
in that year, aside from the
natural increase due to excess
of births over deaths, must have
been more than 100000.
And the rate of increase from
other states rises every year.
Texas has taken in very few
new settlers from foreign coun-
tries, except Mexico The tide
of immigration from Europe
has not yet turned toward the
Texas ports. The new citizens
of Texas are nearly all from
xnther American states, most of
,Jhem, during the past ten years,
From the northern and eastern
portions of the Union.
Accepting the figures officially
endorsed by the Texas State
Government as at least approXi-
mately correct. We realize that
we are witnessing the largest
migration of human beings that
has ever taken place since his
tory began to be recorded.
1t is therefore moreover, the
most impressive human mlgra-
ton in another respect, it being
the first that has taken place in
sleeping cars. 1t is certain that
the vast army of new citizens
that has poured into Texas dur
ing the past ten years has been
richer in material wealth, per
capita, than any other in history.
1t has been made up, and still is
for the migration continues,
steadily increasing in volume
very largely of well-to-do fami-
lies that have sold homes and
properties in other states and
have come to Texas to re-inveSt
their money where it will buy
larger areas of land than new
owners possessed in their old
home states. For example, in
