PEssrM1sT1c CROP VIEW
Corn Crop One Third Yield and
Wheat, Oats and Hay
Short.

Texas corn crop is irretrieva-
bly, ruined, and the state will lose
$75,000000 ON corn alone as the
result fthe drouth. About fifty
million dollars will be lost on the
wheat, oats and hay crop. These
are the estimates of the Texas
Grain Dealers Association accord
ing to present conditions and
were given out Thursday in a
statement by See. Gibbs.
With good rains in July, Aug
ust and the fall months" Mr..
Gibbs said, "a portion of this
great loss by the drouth may be
recovered through the medium of
catch crops. Fortunately many
of the planters have hedged and
will have such forage crops as
peas, kaffir corn, June corn and
Milo-Maize. "
"'rhe Texas corn crop cannot
possibly be more than one-third of
a yield and may be less. In north
Texas, the crop is a total failure,
In south Texas and in such plains
country counties as Armstrong,
Donley, Gollinswood and Hall,
there will be some good corn. The
corn crops all over the United
States will be very short unless
the northern states, such as the
Dakotas, Kansas and Iowa have
good r aims soon.
''The government IS figures and
estimates of a bumper crop were
based ON statistics and general in
formation gathered before the
drouth had invaded the corn belt
and atthe time they we're compil-
ed they were correct.
South Texas may make a half
crop, butthe North Texas crop is
lost "

Red B/o0ded american Heroes

Fulton wore a shabby suit because
he was too poor TO waste money on
himself. His careworn face bespoke
long labor and worry-true heroism.
The crowd laughed in his face as
the inventor and his friends entered
their crazy boat. Fulton paid no at
tention TO them. He pulled the lever
that started the engine. With
wheeze and snort the boat moved out
into the river, and the people SUD
denly became silent.
But no sooner had the Clermont
struck the main current than there
was a Earring. grating sound, the en-
CINE stopped. and the boat with II.
"Ho. no: no." laughed the people.
"Old 'Fulton's Folly won't work
II told YOU so," Hey, you're drifting
the other way"
Unmoved, Fulton dived down into
the bottom OF the boat, turned lever,
frightened a few pipes, and the dam
age was repaired Again the engine
snorted and the Clermont moved.
The people on shore again fell ST.
lent, as the boat continued on It's way.
II was a joke-they saw that-but the
Joke was on them.
On the Clermont sped, past the
beautiful palisades or the Hudson, on
and on to Albany. The people along
the banks had seen the beginning or
a new era in navigation.
Fulton. who had left the people In
New York with jeers on their lips,
steamed back to find the jeers turned
10 lusty cheers, and in that hour he
became famous.
The great ships that steam the
ocean today are the throbbing monu-
ments TO the memory and the work OF

Not long ago an aeroplane winged
its way up the Hudson river from
New York TO Albany and back again

Thousands of people lined the river
and looked on In wonder. But little
did they think of the analogy be-
tween that occurrence and another a
little more than a hundred years be
fore when their ancestors stood along
the same river and jeered with ieers
that turned 10 cheers at the first
steamboat.
Ii was a warm morning in Septem-
Der, 1907. and the Clermont rode at
her anchor near a wharf in New YORK
city. The shore was black with peo-
pie who had come down 10 the water
front before even the sun was up 10
look and wonder at the strange mon
ster there in the river
Right in the middle OF the boat was
a chimney, and at the sides were great
paddle wheels. The people had never
seen SO crazy a looking craft, and the
man who should try TO make that go
up the river was surely more crazy
than his boat.
So they laughed and cracked jokes.
and waited for the sun to come up
when crazy Bob Fulton should make
a fool OF himself for their entertain
ment.
The eastern sky glowed. the sun
came up. and Robert Fulton appeared
with a few friends-there were only
a few who did not believe him stark
mad TO try TO sail by steam, when
everybody knew (only they didn't
know, as usual) that boat had TO
have sails 10 send 1t through the
