COTTON IS A MONEY CROP
Cotton is one of our best
money crops for the South Plains.
In fact, all the counties as far
north as Donley can raise
cotton very successfully. The
best varities raised are those
that are early maturing and
storm-proof. One of the best
varities for the entire section is
the Mebane Triumph. This va
riety is early in maturing. good

profitable crop. Often from
tour to six bushels Of seed are
produced per acre, in addition to
one or two good hay crops. This
seed hardly ever sells for less
than SO or SO per bushel.
WHEAT GROWING
Under good tillage methods,
wheat hardly ever makes a fail
ure in this section. Judge
Cough of Hereford. says: In
our several years experience in
farming on the plains, we have
never made a complete failure
on account of drouth, where
good tillage methods were used,
and in normal years have been
able to make more than 80
bushels Of wheat per acre.
While our yield of wheat often
seems low, yet when we stop to
consider that rhe average yield
for the United States is l43
bushels per acre, we can see
that we are getting good yields.
There is no question but that
this entire section can be made
to produce good crops of wheat,
especially when our farmers
begin to pillow the ground for it,
deeper and earlier, and at the
same time plant less and better
seed. "
G. n. Baggerman of Pampa,
Texas, says in regard to his 1911
wheat crop: i doubled disced

There is every reason to be-
lieve that the crude oil engine
will be used altogether for
pumping purposes in the very
near future.

is the standard crop. There is
no crop that win bring in as
great net returns and at the
same time improve the soil con-
ditions as much as alfalfa Al
falfa is known as a subsoillng
crop. 1t also improves the soil
fertility and places the ground
in better condition for the crops
that follow. The farmer who is
planning on raising truck. fruit,
sugar beets and other crops
that require a high state of
fertility. will do well to raise
alfalfa on the ground first.
Alfalfa is our best paying
money crop, especially under ir-
rigation. The price seldom falls
below SIP per ton for the baled
hay, and five tons per acre per
year, is a good average yield.
J. II. Slaton of Plainview,
Texas, makes the following
statement in regard to the 1911
crop of alfalfa: In all, | irri.
gated 10 acres of alfalfa, a por'

that his alfalfa Melted him SOL

In fact, all the plowed ground

j. c. Cumm0ns Of Plainvlew
SAYS that with early nlne-inch
blowing for the 1911 wheat
crop. he produced from 20 to p
bushels per acre.
OATS MAKE GOOD YIELD
Oats is a good spring crop for
all of this section, especially
when the spring moisture is
favorable. This is one of our
best small grain crops, under ir-
rigation. Oats, like most other
crops, require good tillage.
Like wheat, best results come
from deep and early blowing.
&c. Cummons of Plainview
says: "Iprepare my oat ground

farmers scattered throughout

good results.

The following discussion will
briefly outline the beauties and
possibilities Of this great country
Of ours. Reports have gone out
at various times that this section
is a waste. on arid region, that II
never rains and that it has no
future. The fact really is, there
is not another tract Of land in
the United States that is as well
adapted for farming or has as
great a future.

has the credit Of the first well in
that territory.
Today there are at least 100
very strong wells in this section
that has been developed for ir-
rigational purposes. To look at
the development in this line, 1t
would see that it must have
started at least 10 years ago.
Today there are irrigation wells
in 9 or 10 different counties of
this section. While there is
about 10000 acres under cult
walton now, there is no less than
/, 900. 900 acres IN this section
that can be proftably irrigated
through wells from the abund-
ant supply of water below.

table. The wells vary in guam
tity of water, throwing from 500
10 1900 hundred gallons per
minute. Some Of the wells will
furnish enough water for irri-
eating as much as a quarter
section. The majority, how
ever, are supplying enough for
S0-acre tracts.
The fuel cost of pumping
varies from about 80 cents to
S1.25 per acre foot, depending
on the fuel used. On account
of the enormous expense, gas
oline is being discarded and

blessings for any country is an
abundant supply OF good water.
All of Northwest Texas is un-
delaid with an inexhaustable
supply of good, pure drinking
water. And as described below,
this supply Of water 10 found in
many sections in quantity
enough for irrigation Such a
thing as failure Of wells has
never been known in this sec
ton. even during the dryest
years.
OPPORTUNITIES IN IRRIGATION.
Ii has only been about two
years since irrigation by pump
ing was found to be practical in
Northwest Texas. Much credit
is due D. l.. Mcdonald Of Here
ford. Texas. for his faith in de-
veloping the first irrigation well
IN the entire territory This
first big well was put down on
Mr. McDonald's farm about
three miles southeast of Here
ford on the Frio draw about two
years ago. The success of this
we'll was so remarkable that the
news in regard to il spread all
over the country like wildfre.
In less than one year Is or 20 Of
these wells could be found in
different sections of the country.

equally as well adapted to our
conditions as oats, in fact, it
will stand more dry weather.
The yield varies from 20 to 60
bushels per acre. 1t makes an
excellent all-rcund stock feed.
J. w. Eller, Pampa, Texas, has
produced an average yield of
40 bushels per acre for several
years past. He says: Il think
speltz is a stronger and better
horse feed than oats, if properly
fed"
FLAX is POPULAR
Flax promises to be one of
our best small grain crops. 1t
has a tap root and therefore
stands a great deal of dry
weather, after once getting a
good start. Like other crops it
responds to good tillage. 1t
does well on old land as well as
sod. The 1911 Yields on flax in
/ this section were exceptionally
good. making considerably
larger Yields than the average
/ for the United States. The av-
erage yield in this section last
year varied from 12to % bushels
per acre, and the average for
the United States is only nine
bushels. d l.. Hichcox of
Canyon produced an average
Weld Of Is bushels per acre on
( IL acres. The present selling
price of flax per bushel is So per
bushel.

crop is exceptionally good. The
