FEBRUARY EXPORTS OF FARM
PRODlICTS

February expectations of farm prod
ucts show marked increase when
compared with those of the cores
ponding month last year, according to
figures just received by the bureau of
statistics, department of commerce
and labor. Corn, wheat, flour, other
breadstuffs, and meat and dairy prod
ucts all show very large increase
in February, 1911, compared with
February, 1910. The quantity of corn
exported in February, 1911, was prac-
tically 10 3-4 million bushels, against
4 / 2 million in February Of last year;
OF wheat, 1-3 million bushels, against
| million a year ago. of flour S39 thou
sand barrels, against 523 thousand in
February, 1910. meat and dairy prod
ucts 10 "a million dollars in value,
against 8 ga million one year ago;
and cotton, 410 million pounds,
against 169 million pounds in the cor
responding month of last year. In the
s months ending with February corn
exports show also large increase, be
ing for that period 80 ga million
bushels against 221-2 million in the
corresponding period a year earlier.
Wheat exports, however, show a
marked decline, being in the 1911 pc
riod Is 1-3 million bushels, against
3S 1-3 million in the corresponding
period of 1910 The outward move,
nent OF flour in the 1911 period is
about the same as year ago, while
other breadstuffs, show a total of
million dollars in value in the 1911 pc
riod against l-2 million in the cor
responding period of the prior year.
Meat and dairy products exported in
the 1911 period differ but a little from
those of 1910; and cotton exports ag-
gIegated sol million dollars in value
in the 1911 period, against 34S million
a year earlier. Cattle, hogs and sheep
form the sole class showing a decline
in both the month of February and
the eight months ending with Febru-
airy. the value thereof exported in
February, 1911, being S24 thousand
dollars, against Is million in Febru.
airy, 1910. and in the eight months
ending with February. 1911, seven mil
lion dollars. against 10 l-2 million in
the corresponding period of the pre-
ceeding year.
One notable feature of the recent
exports of breadstuffs is that the
value of corn exported is far in excess
of that OF wheat. being in the month
Of February, 1911 2-3 million dollars

worth OF flour. For the eight months
period, however, exports Of wheat and
flour in combination are larger in
value than corn exports, the value of
wheat exported in the eight months
ending February, 1911, being II mil
lion dollars, and Of flour, 32 3-4 mil
lion while the value of corn exported
is 19 ga million. While the exporta-
tion OF wheat during the eight months
ending February, 1911, has been much
less than that OF the corresponding
period last year. and far below the an
nual average of the past decade, the
figures will not make the lowest rec
ord of our exports of that article. The
total single month of February, l 1-3
million, indicating that for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1911, the total
will range between 20 and 80 million
bushels, while the exports of wheat in
the fiscal year 1905, following the
very short crop Of 1904, amounting to
only 4 1-3 million bushels, the
lowest record of wheat exports
many years. 1t seems probable, how
ever, that the exports of the fiscal
year 1911 will, with the single ex-
ception of 1905, be smaller than in
any year since 1869, when the total
was II 1-2 million bushels.

BIG TEXAS RANCHES.
Being Controverted Into Farms and
Gardens.

Gardens.
Houston, Texas, March 20.-An
apt illustration of how big cattle
ranches of south Texas are being
transformed into great gardens and
farms comes from the line Of the
Crystal City and Uvalde railroad,
where the owners of the Cross S 100,-
0e0-acre ranch are preparing to put
nearly the entire acreage in agricul-
tural products.
Their first venture is to raise vege
tables on a large scale. Prof. Fred
w. Malley, who recently held the
chair of entomology at the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical college and was
also an agricultural department ex-
pert, has been employed to take
charge of the growing farms of the
Cross S ranch. To illustrate the ex-
tent of their garden experiment II
may be noted that the ranch has $50
acres planted in sweet corn, 40
acres in canteloupes, 100 acres in GU
cumbers, 30 acres in beans, $50 acres
in onions and another 100 acres OF
mixed truck. Wheat growing is also
being attempted on large scale.
The express companies and rail
reads have been notified that they
will be expected to haul to Houston
many carloads of truck from the
Cross farm within a short period of
time.

JUST A SHADE FOR
BROWN OVER CROSS
k. O.'s Aggressiyeness and the Steam Behind
His Punches Keep Dentist From
Having a Lead.
GHETTO VETERANS BOXING
MAKES THE BOUT CLOSE

There is a difference of opinion, but
our verdict is that Knockout Brown
is entitled TO a very fine shade in his
battle with Leach Cross at the Empire
A. {. las night. The patrons of the
club saw one of the most fierce and
bitterest battles that has ever been
waged between lightweights in the
metropolis. and 1t was a sure sign that
Is. @. Brown is either much overrated
or that Cross is on the high road to
coming back.
The feature of the battle was the
wonderful stalling tactics that Cross
employed. and the finish he made. The
sixth round saw him in a way such as
is assumed only by a defeated man.
There was not a man in the entire
audience but would have admitted that
Cross was "all in" But the stall was
carried to perfection, and when the
East Eide dentist went TO his corner
he made his seconds believe hat he
was near the counting point. There
was a revelation in the seventh. Cross
came out of his corner wabbling. He
stalled to the corne ani made Brown
think that the battle was all but over.

and sent him Keeling to the ropes pro-
claimed a new turn of affairs, and from
