EDMONDSON LED THE CLUB

unofficial averages find only one
Buffalo clouting up into the charm
ed circle of 300 batsmen. There are
fifteen players on the roster and of
these one hit over 800, three
over $50 and seven over 200. Not
much of a batting record, but then
HILL Newman and Riggs are erased
from the slate.
Big Edmondson finished 9 points
over 800, probably the best hitting
pitcher in the league, barring Gray
of San Antonio The collegian hit

ly deserved, He made 20 hits in 3S
games and the majority wnra clean,

man to face the opposition slab
Briton nosed out Walter Salm by
one point and bids fair 70 hit nicely
/ next season His five two baggers
and one triple clustered n 25 hits
/ show that he is no flash in the pan.
Walter Salm ended as the real
/ leader of the club, with an az erage
1 of 270 in 141 games, nine moro than
even Johnny Fillman played in. Wal

doubles, thirteen triples and five

When Mrs Catherine Schultz, an

property was sold
Since then relatives have come IN

$4,000 in cash hidden somewhere
on the premises They say they have
exact information of the hiding
place and are attempting now to get
an order to search the property for

The new owner has refused to per-

Texas Farm Mortgages.

According to the Federal Censui
for 1910, we have 416,377 farms in
! Texas, and only 131,161 of these
farms are owned by the farmers who
operate them; we have 219,106 ten
ant farmers, 2,27S farms operated by
managers and 63,S32 farmers who
partly own their farms.
There are only 80 per cent of the
farmers of Texas who now own their
farms, and in 1900 there were SO
per cent of our farmers who owned
their farms, free from debt, showing
| a decrease Of six per cent in the num-
Der of farmers who own their farms.
In the absence of detailed reports, we
can only speculate as to the causes
that have led to this undesirable re-
suit.
We have opened up during the past
decade GA 1877 new farms and a por-
ton of the increase in Indebtedness
will undoubtedly be found in this
item. A large number of immigrant
farmers have come to us and, as a
rule, they buy farms and make only
partial payments. The young farmer
starting out in life may be justified
in buving a farm on credit, but GER
tainly there is no good business rea-
son why the Texas farmers who have
been farming for years should be in
| debt or why tenant farmer should
| not, in the course of time own hls
farm and if such results cannot be
reasonably hoped for, then there is
something wrong with out economic
system.
Uncle Sam has given us facts
and figures, but he leaves us to solve
our own problems. When we con
slider that 352,545 farmers have
rented or have mortgaged farms, we
get conception Of the tremendous
importance of the problem. The ques-
ton would seem to justify thoughtful
consideration at the hands OF our
foremost economists, if indeed it
does not warrant the attention Of the
Legislature.
Next to the Importance of a
| bountiful Providence in getting the
farmer out of debt, is cheap money
No farmer can pay 10 or IL pei
cent interest and prosper and nc
other line of industry can thrive UNI
der such a handicap. Texas should
secure access to the cheap money mar
kes Of the world by removing such
legislative restrictions as may exis
and pass such laws as will encourage
the flow of cheap money into Texas
