SUNFLOWER A GOOD

Good Demand For Seed by
Poultry Raisers

It is a matter OF wonder to local seed
merchants why farmers in the vicinity
OF FL PasO and in southern New Mexico
do not plant sunflower seed At pres

lowered annual retails on the local
market at SO a hundred pounds. The

Mammoth Russian 1t IS bought chiefly
by poultry raisers, who find the OIL
laden kernels excellent food for moult-
ing chickens, giving them a glossy new
coat OF feathers. A double Towering
kind IS also sold for ornamental pur-
poses.
AS matter Of fact the sunflOwer is
one Of the best and most certain crops
possible without irrigation. Up in the
Estaucia valley in central New Mexico,
it Is not an uncommon thing to see
fields OF sunflOWers, with many indi-
vidual heads measuring as much as u
inches across.
These crops are raised with very lit
tie attention so far as cultivation is
concerned. and, Of course, have but
scanty rainfall TO water them. With in
telligent cultivation, TO conserve mOis-
ture, excellent profits should be made

Washington, D. c., Nov. 2S.-The bu-
reau Of census has issued the first Of
fetal statement relative to statistics on
irrigation In Texas. 1t shows that the
total number of farms irrigated in
1SOS was 1907, against 1925 in 1899, an
increase OF 1882 or 270.3 percent The
total acreage irrigated in 1909 was
45O,971 acres, against 40, $50 in 1893.
an Increase Of 401,319 acres, or SOS. 8
percent
The total acreage which all enter
pr1ses were capable of supplying with
water in 1910 was 693, 496 acres. an ex-
cess over the acreage Of 1909 of PAP. =
90 acres. The area included in projects
either completed or under construction
OF 6Ol, Sb4 acres over the area irrigat ted
IN 1903. This indicates in a general
way the area that will be available
within the next few years for the ex-
tension Of irrigation and shows also that
the area irrigated can be almost tripled
without undertaking new enterprises
The total cost Of irrigation systems
reported in 1910 was S13.4O6.831.
against s1,O27, SOS in 1899, an increase

THE WAR ON |NF|DEls

London Oct. 31.-One of the mos.
remarkable conventions OF modern
times was opened in London today
the object of the gathering being to
form an international organization to
make war on agnosticism and "infidel-
ity" A majority of the delegates are
noncofnormis ministers of England
and Scotland although a number Of
European nations are represented.
In the call for the convention the
promoters of the movement suggest
the establishment of what would
amount to a modern inquisition. The
action of the Spanish government in
ordering the execution of Ferrer, the
free thinker, was held up as an eX-
ample of the treatment which should
be accorded to all "infidels." Prof.
Ernst Haeckel of Germany and Thorn

those who are influential in sending

AS an example of magnanimity Sen
ator Perkins meets the demands in
editorially refuting statements by a
Wichita Falls paper relative to Sam
Rayburn of Bonham. Senator Perkins
knew that Mr. Rayburn would likely
be an opponent in the coming contest
in this district for congress, but new
ertheless he defended the reputation
of his opponent. This is the right
spirit, although few men would have
been fair enough to deny the false
utterances. Perkins has shown a
spirit of fairness not met with every
day. Usually, in politics, an opponent
is apparently believed should be spat
upon with or without opportunity,
cause or no cause. Hasten the day

TUBERCULOSIS
OF THE BONES
Red Cross Christmas Seal Campaign
to Raise Funds to Build Hos.
ptal for Children.

At meeting of the executive com
mittee of the Texas Anti-Tuberculosis
Association in Austin last Friday il
was decided to establish a hospital.
home on the gulf coast for children
afflicted with tuberculosis of the
bones and glands.
| 1t was reported to the committee
that there was practically no pro-
vision in the state for these children,
and, in fact, that little had been done
throughout the country in the way of
special hospital provision outside OF
the Sea Breeze Hospital in New York
| City This institution was made ia.
nous a few years ago by Smiling
Joe's" campaign for funds for a new
hospital building.
A medical member of the committee
described this form of tuberculosis to
lay members as consumption OF the
bones. 1t was stated that most of the
hunchbacks were cases of tuberculosis
of the spine and that most cases of
hip disease, resulting in shortened
limb, were tuberculosis of the hip. En-
larged joints were also attributed in
many cases to bone tuberculosis. The
positive statement was made that this
form of the disease was not conta,
gious. Physicians frequently find that
the children of consumptives are af-
flicted with tuberculosis of the bones.
The treatment given at the Sea
Breeze Hospital on Coney Island, New
York, was described The little pa.
tents spend practically all of their
time in the open air and much of their
time, when the temperature permits,
in the water, as the institution is only
a few yards from the beach. Salt wa
ter and sea air, combined with skill
wul surgery, brings wonderful results
1t was pointed out to the committee
that the Texas gulf coast was, because
of its milder climate, permitting sea
bathing practically all the year round,
an ideal location for such an institu-
ton and the prediction was made that
cures could be effected there as read
lily as in some of the famed sanitoria
of a similar nature on the shores of
the Mediterranean sea. Members Of the
committee expressed their belief that
gulf coast towns would vie with each
other in offering inducements to Sc
cure the location of the sanitarium.

purchase of building and for the

its other work the association will
soon place on sale, in every town in
Texas, the 1912 Red Cross Christmas
seals and the organization plans to
sell 100000 seals in Texas between
now and Christmas.
The Red Cross Christmas seals are
sold every year at one cent each. The
seals are placed on the backs of let.
tiers for weeks before Christmas and
on Christmas gifts and packages. Bus
mess houses buy them in large guam
titles and use them on their mail, on
monthly statements and on pay en-
velopes. One member of the commit
tee told of an instance where a long
overdue bill was paid in December of
last year because his debtor was so
pleased to find the little message of
Christmas cheer and good will at
tached to his statement.
The association is organizing com.
mittees of ladies in every town in the
state to take charge of the sale OF
seals. Mail orders for seals have al.
ready been received at the associa-
tons office in the state capitol build.
