BIGGEST CROP YEAR
IN TEXAS HISTORY
MAKES TEXAS RAILROADS HUS-
TIE FOR EXTRA CARS
Chief Item is Bumper Cotton Crop,
Now in Sight-Frisco Counts on
Tremendous Haul from Lower Rio
Grande Valley.

The biggest crop year in Texas
history is making the railroads hus-
tie TO provide transportation to haul
the states farm products to market
At the traffic offices Of all lines hav-
ing general Offices in Houston, re-
ports the Houston Post, it is claimed
that the prospects for large crop
this year are greater than at any
time since 1906, and perhaps than
any time in history.
To move these crops will require
an immense number Of freight cars
above the usual equipment needed
for this purpose. The Sunset, Cen
tral, FriscoA AInternationa and Great
Northern and Trinity and Brazos
Valley, and doubtless the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas and Santa Fe rail-
roads, have already begun to line
things up for the tremendous rush of
Texas produce and all resources for
extra equipment to be in readiness
by that time are being drawn and
looked into.
The possibility Of a serious car
shortage on this account is general
ly admitted, but it is claimed that
the efforts now being made by the
railroads to prevent such a shortoge
will reduce that possibility to a
minimum
c. X. Dunlay of the Sunset Cen
trail lines stated Saturday that his
lines are already making strenuous
efforts to be in readiness and that he
+ does not entertain any fear of a SER
ious car shortage. He admitted how
ever, that the crop movement this
year will be a proposition that none
Of the railroads could afford to doze
over and that those that do no get
extremely active may find them
selves seriously handicapped.
The chief item looming up is that
of the bumper cotton crop now in
sight. However, corn, wheat, and
oats are in better condition than
ever before and nothing so far in the
way of a possible offset to an over
whelming harvest through other
contingencies, such as adverse
weather.
The Frisco lines expect to make a
tremendous crop haul out of the
Lower Rio Grande Country and the
mdcoast counties and is getting in
readiness accordingly. A large item
in the cotton crop this year, it is re-
ported by officials of the Interna-
tional and Great Northern railway,
who have recently made the trip over
the San Antonio and Laredo division
OF that road, will be the movemen+
of cotton out of the territory
reached by that line. Irrigation has
