Cotton Crop Of the World.

The entire cotton crop Of the world Is
20, OOO.OOO bales, Of which the United
States furnishes about 13, 0OO, 600 bales and
Texas more than 100000. Texas pro-
duces q per cent Of all the cotton used
in all the world, more than India or
Turkestan or Egypt Ellis county, which
i have already told you is the greatest
cotton-producing district in the world,

cotton in Texas that has never been
plowed. The people Of Texas derive a
revenue of more than 500, 600 every
year from their cotton crop, but they
should receive a thousand million dollars
instead: and they have everything except
the men and the plows and the seeds to
produce It. The volume of this one sta
pie is so great that an increase Of 1 cent
a pound In the price OF cotton puts $50
COO of extra money into the pockets
OF the Texas farmers.
The average Of the state is about one
bale Of cotton per capita Of population
and an average Of half Of one bale per
careful cultivation to at least three
quarters of q bale. 1t Is the opinion of
Secretary Wilson Of the Agricultural De-
partment at Washington and other spe-
cialistS who have made q study OF these

New Territory Developed.

The new cotton country down on the
gulf coast railroad along the Rio Grande
which until recently has been given up
entirely to ranches, is producing two
bales and even two and q half bales Of
cotton to an acre by irrigation, and it is
claimed to be the finest staple in the
world.
Texas has more need of factories than
any other state in the Union, because her
principal crops, which are cattle and
cotton, must pass through factory be-
fore they are of any practical value, and
building factories in Texas to convert this
raw material into finished products would
increase the market value Of the crops
average at least s150.0OOOOo year.

~ the coal crop used to average about
100000 tons a year, but oil is so much
cheaper now that nearly every mine has

Texas Timber.
The timber OF Texas is estimated at
10000, coo acres. In the valley Of the
Sabine river. which separates Texas and
Louisiana, is the largest forest now stand
ing In the United States. It extends 900
miles north and south and an average of
40 miles east and west. Along the River
Neches Is a forest OF long-leafed yellow
pine. similar to the best of Mississippi and
Alabama, which Is almost as large.
| The entire forest area OF Texas is un-
derlaid with valuable deposits of iron
| ore. but il has never been explored. be-
cause there is no demand for it. There
are no furnaces nearer than birmingham,

| Of navigable rivers and can be mined
| and shipped almost as cheaply as the
deposits around Lake Superior
There is little present demand for this
dormant wealth, but as a reserve its
value cannot be overestimated. If an
| inventory could be made Of the active and
passive natural wealth Of the Union-that
which is hidden beneath the ground and
that which lies above it, do not think

are ordered differently nowadays. The
