GRAIN FARMERS GROWING
COTTON WITHOUT NEGROES
Northern Settlers in Texas Gun he
gion Disregard Traditions
and Reap Profit.

Robstown, Texas, Sept. l6.--Ihe
average American farmer readily
adapts himself to almost any KIND
of crop or condition. There is
ample proof of this statement IN
what is being done IN the former
ranch region around RobstoWn,
Former wheat and corn farmers
from Northern States are dong
big share of the agricultural devel-
opment of the Robstown section
Men who had never seen cotton
growing and knew nothing ABOUT
planting, cultivating and harvesting
that crop until they came here are
this season reaping profits ranglhB
from $50 to $50 an acre from the
staple. They fell into the ways Of
the typical farmer of the South as
readily as though they had been
used to the business all their lives
The old theory that none but
true born Southerner and his nlg-
gers and mules can grow cotton
successfully is being disposed IN the
Gulf coast region world without ehd
of Texas It is the Northern man
with his energy and capacity FOR
hard work. aided by Mexican labor
and the inevitable mule. who is ac-
complishing virtually all of the great
things that are being done in the de
yeIopment of .the agricultural re-
sources of the former ranch region
of the state.
Growing cotton in the Gulf Coast
region is a new industry. 1t was
not until the St Louis, Brownsville,
& Mexican Railroad was built thru
the long stretch of costal country,
extending from Houston TO Browns
willie. and with a branch line up the
valley of the Rio Grande for 80
